People knew exactly what kind of person Obama was, where he was lacking, and exactly what kind of President he would be in 2008, and he still won.

I knew a lot of people who had no clue what kind of person Obama was, where he was lacking, or what he would do as President. They knew a few things:

1. They wanted to vote for the first black President.

2. The believed the tripe about the economy being the worst in 50 years.

3. They believed the tripe about Gitmo.

4. They believed that Obama would be the first post racial President.

The last reason is very important since anyone who believed that has to be pretty disappointed.

All of those things you just listed will have no impact on this election. Well, a lot of people will still vote for Obama simply because he's black or he's got a (D) next to his name. The economy though? Romney won't be able to connect with them on that. Gitmo? Not an issue. "Post-racial President?" Are they now going to turn around and vote for a guy who belong to a church that oppressed black members until the late 1970s?

Nothing you listed really helps Romney.

However, some of those people will vote for Romney once they find out how much of a liberal he is.
