Let me state once, this wish:
If. IF. If Romney succeeds through his Machiavellian, Alinsky-like negative campaign of corruption and attack, in stealing the GOP nomination.
I only hope, that unlike John McCain he continues to be so ruthless, in the race against Obama.
McCain presented, as exhibit A for what NOT to do in this regard.
Whoever our candidate ends up being, every single resource in the Republican Party, needs to be focused when the day comes, on defeating Obama.
“With the perception growing that he will be the GOP nominee, Romney leads President Obama by five points in a hypothetical 2012 matchup. Today’s numbers show Romney at 48%, Obama at 43%. That’s Romney’s largest lead since December. Matchup results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update).
If Santorum is the Republican nominee, he is up by one point over the president, 46% to 45%. This is the second time since polling began in 2011 that Santorum has had a slight lead over Obama.”
You have to subscribe to find out who Gingrich and Paul poll. This is a reason to vote for Romney. What reason is there to vote against Romney? Everything else.
I am not buying the 1 billion dollar war chest. That is even if the shenanigans of money funneled to him from the Middle East like it was last time under the table.
If he has so much dough, why did he go for the Super Pacs?
My guess is more high end Dem's and Wall St types are taking a powder this time.
He might not have all the funds he wants to fight "Candidate X" whomever "X" is.
As much as I think their is a huge sector of America that is for lack of a better term stupid and will continue to pull the lever for him. Even more Americans are living in their parents basement, out of work depleting their 401(k)'s, or are a Union Plumber or Electrician at number 100, 200, or 300 on their list for work, and their are no prospects of work from their Union for years.
The Worm has turned and it maybe on "them" regardless of what "Rassy's" numbers are. It isn't a slam dunk, but their is hope...
Obama’s back in Calypso Louie territory....
And therein may lie the problem; Romney has spent the most money, has the greatest name recognition and can't get over 50% against a broken president? Romney is not a commodity that you come to like more as time goes by.
