Former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather says presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney has a 50 percent chance of beating President Barack Obama in November.

Romney will win. Just like he took out all his GOP Challengers any way he could, he will do the same to Obama. Romney will win.
you keep telling yourself that. How did Romney do it in the primary? Out spent everyone else.
He won’t have that advantage with Obama and the MSM.
Oh, I really like that graphic.
Can I borrow it and use it?
More proof Romney can’t beat Obama, Rather is proven liar.
He couldn’t even beat McCain, who sure want to win the Presidency.
