With or without FR, Romney has no chance. He will lose in a Carteresque fashion.
People...regardless of their political persuasion rebuke empty suits. Romney (with a little help from media) has done a good job showing what an empty suit he is.
Withing 48 hours or sooner,the main strem media will attack Romney so viciously that even his most ardent supporters will not be able to recognize him in their article[s]. Thgis will continue without letup in every major newspaper and the alphabet “news” organizations until and through election day. the stories have already been written and filmed, all that needs to be done is the publishing and airing.
In order for Romney to lose in a Carteresque fashion, he would have to win first, then lose in 2016. You forgot that Carter did win in 1976. He was carried by who if you are old enough to remember. Don’t answer it unless you are wearing a flame suit.
