No - its the candidate, stupid.
In the end that’s who people vote for. All the turnout in the world means nothing if they don’t like you!
Romney has the advantage that he’s seen as a person people want to vote for because they like him. Sure, turnout helps but in the end, it all begins and ends with the candidate.

Not always. I'm voting against Obama/Biden/Jarrett/Jones/Chu/etc.
I'd vote against them no matter who was running.

Nope. The most motivated voters just fear more Obama. It isn't even close. They don't really like or trust Romney. This also happened in '72. No one has ever accused RIchard Nixon of being terribly likeable.
