“My state is so red that if Romney needs my vote to win, he is on the bad end of a historical landslide.”
He may well be. I think he will lose some southern states that would have supported ANY of the other GOP candidates.
It wouldn't surprise me at all. I think that a lot of nominal Christians are going to be shocked when they begin to learn about Mormonism and a lot of Republicans (like nodems) are going to be dismayed when they learn of Romney's real political record and Romney takes his predicted leftward turn in the general election. Republicans are likely to stay home in droves. All Obama has to do is avoid sprouting horns between now and general election and he's back in thanks to the GOP-e, the Romneybots, and their sycophants.
