Those 'Reagan Democrats' that the Republicans have ALWAYS needed to win will not vote for Romney. We might have had a fighting chance with Newt, but he wouldn't be pliable to the monied-interests aims and claims as Romney appears to be.

God save these United states!

Of course the author did not mention the biggest and most obvious reason why Obama would destroy Romney and that is "Bain Capital"...

The only way Romney can defeat Obama is if the gas prices are still very high by elections day.

Besides the fact that Mitt’s actual governance (not rhetoric) is too similar to Obama’s, he is winning predominantly in states Obama will easily carry. There is no reason to assume success by putting up a candidate to challenge them Dems on their home turf while failing to inspire our own base.

It’s getting harder and harder to see us anything but screwed.

I doubt even that will help. Soetoro and his Czars will merely open the money spigot wider for their sycophants, so besides paying for their houses, utilities, cars, and food, will tag on gasoline to their EBTs!

By Nov with the $5 gas and the Catholic church cheesed off my dog Buddy could beat Obama and become president.

The Great Community Organizer created OWS to run against Mr. Wall Street, AKA Mitt Romney.

Next summer OWS will burn the country to the ground ala the summer of 1968, and Ubama will blame Mr. Wall Street for it.

Meanwhile, state-controlled media will suddenly discover that Romney belongs to a weird religious sect that has all sorts of strange practices and beliefs.

I keep thinking that the evil Obama regime will find a way to lower gas prices before Nov., if only temporarily.

Will they be able to at least create this illusion?

The only difference I see between Soetoro and Romney is that Romney isn’t a closet Islamist!

“sitting presidents lost to charismatic leaders articulating bold visions.”

Newt = $2.50 gas, Newt also = charismatic leader articulating bold visions.

The Democrats must be overjoyed to have such a target-rich opponent. He's soundbite heaven.

Woe is we.

Lands, what a poor field we have had to choose from to go against obama this election. I see Mittens as phony as a $3 bill. He doesn’t relate, and regardless of the polls - I have my doubts that he can beat obama. Yes, he’d be better than zero - but, not much.

Point well taken, but he has to get on the ballot for November.

The Republican cognoscenti don't want him.

How bout interest rates are jacked up through the roof, causing a huge surge in the dollar, and corresponding decrease in gas price?

If Romney persisits in his “politics of personal destruction” against his fellow republican contenders; while doing the soft-shoe around Obama, he has no chance! He’s stiff and like Obama he can’t run on his record. That’s as plain as the nose on my face! He can’t run as Obama-lite. If Obama’s unacceptable, a cheap knock-off certainly won’t do!

Not only does Romney seem to lack the ability to inspire us with the ideas of our Declaration of Independence from a "big government" tyrant (King George III), and the similarity of that King's actions to the tyranny we face today, but he also cannot convey the "vision" thing for our future which harmed Bush 1's candidacy.

"The People" who make up the 60 - 70% of Republicans who don't vote for him likely have studied their American history accounts of Jefferson, Washington, Adams, and Madison. They are looking for a modern inspirational leader like Reagan--a man who had taken the personal time to immerse himself in the ideas essential to liberty, and was willing and able to recognize the enemies of freedom and to engage in a battle of ideas against the counterfeit ideas of socialism.

His casual writing off of the President as "a good man who is in over his head," or that "does not understand how the economy works," is either naive or a dangerous deliberate mischaracterization.

There are people who say:

"The told me Dole could win. He didn't.

"They told me McCain could win. He didn't.

"Now they tell me Romney can win. Why should I believe them?"

But there are also people who say:

"They told us not to nominate Dole. He couldn't win. But they never told us who could.

"They told us not to nominate McCain. He couldn't win. But they never told us who could.

"Now they're telling us not to nominate Romney. He can't win. But they don't tell us who could -- or how they could."

After retiring from nearly 40 years in ministry the one concept that was hard to explain was the Biblical concept that the wages of sin is death.
If Romney is the nominee and Obama wins another term. The concept of “the wages of sin is death” will be far easier to explain. Of course I doubt we even have a Republic in five more years, but the wages of...
