Romney does not appeal to Conservatives.
Mark my words it's over. Obama will be reelected because Republicans let it happen.
The presidency is one thing. We still have Congress, and the choices there are a lot more diverse.
I agree with you completely.
One good thing about being overseas is that allows one to see things from a more objective point-of-view. I’m not in the heat of the fray, surrounded by the American media.
You totally nailed it. Newt has ZERO appeal to Independents, which is what you MUST have to win.
Romney has ZERO appeal to Conservatives, which is glaringly obvious to anyone who takes even the slightest glance on FR or other conservative sites.
Bachmann, Santorum, Huntsman, Paul? Forget it. No appeal to Independents (though Paul does have his rather fanatic following).
It’s a cold equation. As things stand, Obama will be re-elected. If the economy improves even in the tiniest fashion next year, (or if the MSM reports it as such) there’s no way Obama can lose. He already has, at minimum, 40% of the electorate in his pocket.
Don’t believe me? Check out Intrade. Obama’s at a 51% chance to be re-elected to a second term. If you objectively stop and consider how horrible the US economy is right now, there’s no way in hell he should be anywhere near that high.
Cain was a good possibility to defeat Obama. He had a good personality, and he was affable. A good public speaker as well. However, he has now suspended (and most likely ended for good) his campaign. Hence my prognostication.
