This is like 1976 - Romney is Reagan, and McCain is Ford.
In 1976, Reagan lost the early states, but gathered steam and started winning and brought it to the convention.
Romney got 31% in NH, 39% in MI and 31% in FL. He has been competitive and close in more states than MCCain, who ran nowhere in WY and NV and 3rd in Iowa.
unfortunately, Reagan lost that year, and Ford went on to lose in the general.
Yes, and the winner-take-all makes things look worse than they really are in real numbers.
To put it in perspective, Florida the 4th largest state in the country with over 18 million people, the difference between McCain and Romney with 99.9% of the vote in, couldn’t come even close to filling Michigan Stadium for a single football game, and the fans have been doing it for decades.
Yeah, but...... 1976.... cough, cough.
