Oh yeah!
The worse people feel about the economy, the more it helps Romney IMO. The Dems and MSM will paint him a a Greedy Wall Street guy who helped CAUSE the problem in the first place. He would have lost last year because of that, however, if the economy is still in the tank, or even worse, people might not buy that.
Of course, Obama could be Jimmy Carter and completely dead politically by then and the GOP primaries might go down differently.
By 2012 I suspect most people on the right would vote for a box of Cheezits if it would mean getting rid of Obama....and crawl over 15 fire ant mounds to do it.
LOL. Romney is the GOP’s John Kerry... after all, Romney was for bailouts before he was against them.
