bottom line with Romney he is a RINO like the two remaining contenders and he would do horrible in red states in November.
Take Missouri for example ... about 80% of the vote in on both sides ...
Hillary Clinton has managed to get around 300K to come out and vote for her. Obama has managed to get 273K to come out and vote for him. Romney, who spend time and resources there, has managed to get 132K to come out and support him.
The numbers for Republicans in general are very alarming and Romney’s are horrible (considering all the resources he poured in). He would be a disaster in November. States like Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Florida, etc. decide elections. Romney hasn’t show any strengths in states like that and may lose states that Republicans usually win as well.
Your political analytical abilities are as dense are your choices for candidates. You're comparing a three-person race's vote totals to a two-person race's vote total? Well done!!!! Bravissimo!!!
Now go take a Consumer Math course.
I agree. Two questions though, if answered, might drive the point home.
What are the conservative numbers in those states, (OH, MO, PA, IA, FL...best guess?
What are the numbers for independents?
I think the independents may come out for Romney over McCain, since IMO they tend to vote moderate. I do not see them holding for McNuts if he wins the nomination... He’s too frigging crazed. AND I think the illegal immigration issue is really going to hit home come the general election... more so in the “post-industrial” states... especially after what McQueeg told ‘em regarding their auto manufacturing jobs. In the end, most people will vote their wallets... and we still have eight months to go, with a shaky economy on the horizon (Well, at least the perception of such... and perception is everything).
