Despite much pressure from Romney forces, Colorado Republicans last weekend at their Denver convention surprised political observers by electing and by a large margin more uncommitted than committed delegates. >>>(The hard count was 23 uncommitted to only 13 for Romney.)<<< This was widely interpreted to mean that rank and file Republicans are still very wary of Governor Romneys candidacy.
The other news is from Washington where the news media is all abuzz about a recent Washington Post/ABC poll. Heres the transcript from a recent Meet the Press.
MEET THE PRESS HOST . I want to show you what I think is the most telling number of the week thats come out in polls and it was from The Washington Post/ABC poll that talked about his favorability ratings. Right now Mitt Romneys favorable ratings, 34 percent; unfavorable, 50 percent that isunheard of for a leading contender at this stage of the process.
Look back historically at what Republicans have enjoyed and if you look at the approval ratings that John McCain had at this point in the campaign, 53 percent; George W. Bush and Bob Dole, 49 percent. Again, Mitt Romney down at 34 percent.
If that doesn't tell the story, then nothing will. Center-right voters have looked at Mitt Romney and have seen right through his snake oil salesman grin. He's a fraud, and voters know it.
How on earth can a Republican challenger beat an incumbent Democrat president with that sort of lackluster support? Frankly, I don't think he can. He's incapable of generating enthusiasm, and if he's relying on the fear vote to put him over the top, then he's got a lot to worry about with people like me, who would rather vote for Mickey Mouse.
As to the “uncommitted” in Colorado. Almost all of the office-holders who run, run as “uncommitted” because they don’t want to tick off any segment of the party unnecessarily.It just means they didn’t go to Romney until later. Sorry to give you the bad news, but that’s what’s really going on.
RNC establishment strategy: Publish no poll numbers; spread the word that Romney is the nominee; have people vote based on blackout and misinformation expecting Romney to win big; then hit hard with Romneys wins and Newts losses to bully Newt into dropping.
Please do yourself the honor of reviewing actual polls by doing a Google search for 2012 Republican presidential polls (name state) and you will see why the RNC is using this tactic. Then spread the word!
Obama with the dem-media complex, millions of dollars, sycophants everywhere in the media, versus Mitt Romney with the entire conservative media capitulated behind him, his millions, and NEWTON LEROY GINGRICH is only 7 points behind Obama in the lastest Rasmussen tracking?
THEY WANT YOU TO THINK IT'S HOPELESS...
