Every poll you see shows Romney leading or near the top yet I never come across anyone for him, either online or in real space. Almost nobody. Anywhere.
Who are these people who are for Romney, where are they?
I think the polling being put out re: the Republican nomination is utter BS. And worthless too.
HA, I was thinking the same thing. I know of not one actual Republican that supports Romney. None. Nada. Zilch. I can only guess that those who support him are voters that dutifully vote Republican for whatever reason but don't follow politics all that closely. His name is in the news all the time, so around 15-20% simply recognize the name Mitt Romney and tell pollsters they like him. Not saying he can't compete in the primaries as I am sure he will raise big money, but I really doubt he will generate much enthusiasm. If he wins the nomination, it will only be because the actual conservative base and Tea Party folks split their votes between too many candidates.
BUMP!
Agreed. I don’t know anybody enthusiastic about Romney. But, then, most everybody I know is a bitter, bitter person desperately clinging to their guns and their Bible.
“Who are these people who are for Romney, where are they?”
Good point. I would think he might be a regional candidate, but Huckabee was promoted similarly, I live in the heart of what should be his base area, and know of no one who wanted, or even particularly thought of him. Lots of Palin supporters, some Barbour (moot now, thankfully) and a few Ron Paul, or they support the factor of Zero.
Find some college educated Conservatives. The Romney vs Palin split is all white vs blue collar.
