Romney can’t win the general election. He loses to both Hillary and Obama.

B.S. Romney outclasses, outshines and has the right temperment, experience and values to beat them both. McCain is the one who can't win. The Republican base will not support him. Polls taken today on that question are less than meaningless.

The polls are meaningful because they demonstrate a troubling trend. Over the course of a year, as the voters have become more familiar with Romney, his standing with the electorate has worsened. The percentage of likely voters who say they would definitely vote against him has climbed steadily and is now at 47% according to Ras.

I see little reason for optimism when you have a candidate with that kind of trend line over the course of a full year.

Don't forget Mitt is handsome and wholesome too...

Nice cheer leading, wrong analysis.

This election will be as close as the last two. Mitt alienates just enough of two core groups, the stanch conservatives and the deep south evangelicals, who will sit out just like in 2006, that he won’t have the votes to close the gap.Look at Florida, and look at the polling in the deep south. Look at the how he is having to fight Super Tuesday.

Mitt’s problem is not beating Hillary, but winning what should be slam dunk support for a Republican conservative candidate.

Sad to say but McCain stands a better chance in the general and that is a win win for the Democrats since basically he is one of them with a different initial. Be honest I don't know if he can win it as well.

Thanks guys.
