I just don’t get it..do people honestly believe Romney can beat Obama, and thats why they are voting for him..What in the He** happened to voting for country, I am continuing to pray that Gingrich can win tonight.
What makes it so hard for you to believe that Romney couldn’t beat Obama?
It’s Santorum who I feel is unelectable at this point. His voice is grating and his delivery is all too often off. He picks the wrong fights over and over again.
Romney does best at focusing on economic issues, and that is what this race will come down to. Romney is able to come across as always presidential and as someone who can solve problems. I backed him in 2008 because I thought he was clearly the most conservative of the candidates and could voice himself clearly and stand toe-to-toe with a Democrat. I might have supported Thompsom, but he never convinced me he had the drive.
This year I’m backing Newt for the same reasons I backed Romney, other than I see him having the advantages of being far more aggressive and far more conservative.
Now, having listened to Fred’s radio show over time and having seen Huckabee over time, I’m still not sure I’d think the same way as I did in 2008. But I still see Romney as electable, if not as ideal as Newt.
What strikes you about Romney that he can’t beat Obama? He’s “too white?”
If I were the nominee, I’d just do a commercial with the debt clock behind me and perhaps point out when a plumber’s entire wages went by, a doctor’s, a professional basketball player’s.... Just let it run. I’d refer to it constantly as “the Obama debt.” It’s the one issue that’s not going away, and it’s only getting bigger. It also pretty much undermines Obama’s entire agenda.
I will say Romney would have a very difficult time explaining away Romneycare, which is a mirror reflection of Obamacare. I just think the central fights are going to be over the economy and the debt.
