“I believe over 60 percent, say 75 percent, are essentially anti Romney, but the roller coaster circus this primary has been is beating them down.”
We’re not beaten down, what’s happening is that as long as the votes continue to be divided 3 or 4 ways (if you count RP), then Romney will continue to get the largest single percentage. RP is a lost cause, but Perry and Santorum have no chance (look at what a tough time Newt the superior debater is having) and their votes could go to Newt if they’d “take one for the team”. Both of them are young and have a good future. But this is the problem we currently have.
Okay, my flame suit is ready :-)
No flame necessary....

No disagreement there. I believe I was one of the first to start pointing out this phenomenon. Where the game starts to change is the point Romney breaks the anti Romney barrier. There are reasons for it happening. I’m presently leaning towards voter fatigue. That is at the core of Romney’s support to begin with. He is the contrast to Bush bumpkin fear, experienced by all of us who cringed and held our bleeding ears when Bush started speaking. Romney is the plastic man with a shining, fake smile, and he enunciates words properly. It’s not like Romney stands for anything that puts fire in the gut or drives voters to crawl on broken glass to pull a switch for him. Nope, I haven’t heard many reasons why anyone is for Romney, other than they’ve been told he can beat Obama, and they get the sense he won’t embarrass them in debates. ...Taking that same reasoning further, this roller coaster ride of pop sensations shooting up only to crash, has voters afraid to commit to the other candidates. So what if they don’t like Romney, they are going along with what they have had pounded into them; Romney is the chosen one. Of course, before Rombots start popping the corks on their Mormon Tabernacle bubbly, ...grape juice to us heathens, they might want to see if Mitt is the latest pop sensation. It’s a fickle thing. ...And yes, the only way Romney will be beaten is if the conservative side of the aisle can quickly settle upon one champion. ...I dreaded this circus from the beginning, because it was destined to give us what we have now.
