Carville(Democrat): "It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing. Romney is an ascendant guy."

Eff the deep blue states and Eff Mitt Romney.


The road to Palin's victory runs through the swing states:

Virginia North Carolina Ohio Indiana Florida Colorado New Mexico Iowa Nevada

People who think that conservatives can do better than Scott Brown in MA, had better look at this poll.

What's amazing is that despite beating McCain 62-36 in 2008, there's not a single Republican (other than Romney) that can better that McCain performance, even after two years of misery. Obama is becoming more unpopular in MA, but he builds his leads on Republicans in the state.

Brown, OTOH, is still viewed favorably by a majority of the state. Brown's no conservative prize, but he's the best anyone can hope for coming out of MA. That's clear.

Anyone who is unable to deliver his state to the GOP column should not be considered for nomination.

Romney “comes the closest” to the kenyan because he is the closest to the kenyan.

Did you expect anything less from Massachusetts?? Kennedy, Frank, Kerry, come on. Yeah yeah, Scott Brown? He’ll turn elitist soon, give him a couple years. Just write Mass. off, it won’t change color.

Do you see a similarity to Carvil?

Mitt Romney said that he was seeking reelection, but his own polling forced him to give it up, Romney left office with a 34% approval rating.

Massachusetts, unfortunately, is not reflective of the American grass roots voter attitude. I live in New England and can attest to the political idiocy of the Bay State voters. Most should go to a local mall on election day and get lost for 12 hours while intelligent people in MA (which there are very few) go to the polls and cast a vote to deny the Marxist-Socialist Obama a 2nd term.

It is increasingly becoming clear to moderates, independents, and even some democrats that Obama's policies are harming the economy.  While he managed to blame GW early during his administration, the fact is that most of the popular economic indicators have gotten worse on his watch, and there is no evidence that what he has done is helping.

Indeed, there is evidence that what he has done has hurt the economy, hurt people (voters), and will continue to harm peoples' lives and their businesses' livelihood, thereby turning purple states more red and blue states more purple.

Sure, Obama will still do well in the very liberal states like NY, CA, MA, and a few more, but there aren't enough true liberal states to re-elect him, as it stands now. So if the objective of the writer is to emphasize Obama's favorable ratings in a liberal state as a projection of his national fortunes in 2012, the entire premise and analysis is flawed.  The USA isn't Massachusetts (thank goodness), and the US isn't like those heavily liberal states that Obama will poll well in.  Indeed, the US is more like the Red states he won't win, and the swing states where he has lost a lot of ground.

And frankly, he is running out of time to turn that around.

lol

If Obama is down to as low as 52% in Massachusetts... it's SO over for him.
