The only way to win an election is to hold your base and peel off a faction from the other party.

Mitt starts off with a couple of real problems ~ he's given up the Republican party's Conservative base. The Democrat affiliated factions already have their boy ~ so why should they trade him in for more of the same?

To put it bluntly, Mitt can't win against this or any other Democrat whose able to hold the Democrat base together.

Mitt's one advantage is that he's facing off against a bad President in a bad economy. If he was facing Bill Clinton in '96, I'd agree with you. I'm not ready to write of Romney's chances quite yet. Yes, he's going to lose conservative votes. The question remains is whether or not he'll be able to pick up the middle that voted for Obama and are now unhappy with him.
