I hope you are right....my goodness, I hope you are right.

Just wait till our side starts actually campaigning with a solid nominee. That will change rapidly, especially since it is obvious how well the Romney campaign has been using negative campaign tactics. They can easily turn this against Obama. Especially as weak as Obama is on his record and by then, the ruling on Obamacare will be in our favor.
Right now most of the negative image the moderates and Independents have on Republicans, is due to the high profile radical image and negative rhetoric against women that Santorum has been getting all the headlines for.
That will change once our main economic message starts taking effect. And Romney does have a strong economic message and the Executive experience to implement it. I also believe Romney will ask Newt to join the effort.
