What Romney doesn't have is a message. All the good looks, charm & cash means nothing if you don't have a message. The poor guy has flip-flopped on so many issues and pandered desperately that people are seeing him as a stereotype of politicians in general.

Oh Romney has vision don’t you worry!

What Romney doesn't have is a message.

What is Fred's message?

Or Duncan's?

Or Rudy's?

Or Huckabee's?

[Swordfished]

Romney’s message is more conservative than Rudy’s. (obvious)

Romney’s message is arguably more socially conservative than Thompson’s. (Thompson’s a federalist)

Romney’s message is more conservative than McCain’s. (immigration)

Is Huckabee’s message more conservative? I haven’t checked. I’ve heard he’s not so much of a fiscal conservative. That’s a dealbreaker, if so.

A John Edwards type.

You're just in denial. The opposite is true.

He's gaining because he doesn't hedge, he goes right to the point and out consevative's the other candidates.

Romney doesn’t have a message? And you’re backing Fred Thompson? The guy whose message boils down to, “Well, we’ll talk about it in a little while but don’t get your gander up! I’m gonna make government real small-like when I get off this here golf cart.” *rolls eyes*

Romney’s vision is very clear in my estimation, and that is to make America competitive into the next century. He has addressed the need to lower our corporate taxation rates, which are some of the highest in the world. To bring about tort reform and reverse the trend that now has American corporations spending more money fighting lawsuits than in Research & Development. To reform our immigration system to bring in the best and the brightest—not the uneducated and the illiterate. He has spoken of lowering the capital gains tax to encourage middle class America to invest and save in their future (because social security isn’t going to be around). His energy policy is one of nuclear energy and new methods of refining to reduce dependence on the Middle East, Venezuela, and Mexico. Of controlling spending and ending this nonsense budget shortfall we’ve been running.

He speaks of his three-legged stool: the economy, the military, and the family.

Frankly, I don’t see a candidate with a more clear message.

He’s an arrogant Constitution hating freak. That’s his message.

Romney has a vision, translation; words from my consultant's. What Romney doesn't have is a message. Yes he has many messages, no plans to implement them.
