Is Mitt Romney the Most Unpopular Likely Presidential Nominee Ever?

Amigo said:
Romney is not close to Obama. Obama is the most far-left president ever. Romney isn't a bad guy, he loves this country, and IMHO he would do what is best for our country. He is certainly not perfect, but he is a good man, and actually cares about the constitution, unlike Obama.

Thats very funny...if you actually knew what you were talking about you would understand that Obama is more conservative than Romney. The most far left in history? I dont recall many democratic presidents in history that were willing to cut medicare and social security while extending bush tax cuts for the rich resulting in higher tax burden on the middle class....that does not sound like the most far-left president in history.

I understand your a republican and would vote for whoever the establishment assigned to your beliefs....but don't make statements when you dont know the facts... considering you would probably be backing Obama right now if he had the letter (R) next to his name.

Our Virginian Gov, Bob McDonnell has been grooming himself for the pick, and he would bring redneck Southerner cred to the ticket that Romney lacks.

Anyway, I sure hope he's picked, so we can get him the hell out of Virginia! :)

I think he may have screwed himself on that TVU bill he almost signed...

Then why are most liberals supportive of Obama and less likely to vote for Romney?

How is Obama more Conservative than Romney?

this is laughably idiotic. You seem to think all the top one percent are on one side and everyone else is on the other

what side is Kerry on> Pelosi? Kohl? the Kennedys? Jay Rockefeller? etc

give it up, your wishful thinking of a revolt of all but the top one percent is just pathetic

you represent those in the bottom 99% who blame the rich for being failures

those who aren't in the top 1% but who work hard to be, won't ever vote for your defeatist vision of mediocrity

And having you constantly whine about the upcoming loss for the GOP just makes it all that much more poetic! Thanks for that! :cool:

You are just lying now. I haven't made any predictions nor have I whined. Given that Obama is using the money of the few to buy the votes of the many he has a built in advantage-especially given almost half the public are sucking more from the public teat than they are payin in

If he is the nominee..I wonder who he will name as VP candidate?

I think if he was to pick Condi Rice he might stand a chance. If not Condi, he will need a woman just to get in striking range. Plus she is moderate even tho she went to work for the Neo's.

Those Republicans who want to see Obama defeated will vote for the Republican nominee. Any other vote is a personal statement, of course, but also a waste.

He'd be a nice GOP follow up to GWB. How about they realize a democrat would have been better than GW instead?

I really hate voters who vote to cast a ballot against the other candidate. If neither of them are good and you don't have passion for your candidate, then stay the **** home.

I thought they amended it to remove the transvaginal ultrasound? Did they not?

Yes, but there still has to be an ultrasound, with several visits required and it also necessitates greater travel costs as most local health clinics do not have ultrasound equipment.

ridiculous...the fact that he didn't even know the bill originally had the internal ultrasound mandate in there is pretty damn scary...may have ruined is chances this time...

Is he not fiscal conservative enough? McCain wasn't a social conservative either, and he didn't excite the base.

You happen to be on the side he suggested... :doh:
 
From the article above:

Romney would have to overcome a larger favorability deficit than any other modern presidential candidate, and currently boasts the worst primary-season favorable-unfavorable split of any major-party nominee of at least the last 36 years.

SNIP

Since 1976, no serious contender, Democrat or Republican, has watched his favorable ratings fall as low as Romney’s have in recent months. Or watched his unfavorable ratings climb as high. Or watched his overall numbers stay underwater—that is, more unfavorable than favorable—for so long.

At this rate, Romney is shaping up to be the most unpopular presidential nominee on record.

That's actually kind of interesting. There is time for his numbers to change, and so much can happen during an election. I think Romney is weak, and if any more dirt keeps coming out on him and he continues to make gaffes, he is going to be done. I think it's an uphill battle for him. The only thing on his side, is the anti Obama sentiment.

I can't think of a reason to actually vote for him at this point. He is robotic, not authentic, and looks like he has no clue what it's like to not be a billionaire.

No, I think that might be John McCain - at least in my lifetime. I don't know anyone on the right who was excited about him.

As McCain joining in chanting with Obama his also disapproval of Bush - and then rushed to urge all to vote for the "bailout," I suspect a majority of Republicans decided that McCain really sucks. It was only because of past videos of his primary opponent and McCain's massively greater campaign funds that McCain didn't lose his Senate seat in the last election.
 
The problem with the OP is, of course, that those who dislike Santorum INTENSELY dislike him. So if Satorum was in the lead, the exact same OP would apply.
Same with Ron Paul. Same with Gingrich.

Looked at your article and looked up the author. Here's what I found out about him: "Andrew Romano is a senior writer for Newsweek. He reports on politics, culture, and food for the print and Web editions of the magazine and appears frequently on CNN and MSNBC. "

A man with an agenda, IMO. But I might like some of his receipes.

Condi Rice is not going to help Romney with the Conservative voting block. No woman, and definitely not a relatively moderate one, will help Romney in any way during this upcoming campaign. At least not with Conservatives.

If you read back through the thread, it is an opinion that is shared by many conservatives, as well as with many conservatives throughout the country, so I don't put much stock in your opinion here.

Hey, that's okay you don't like my opinion. Opinions are like votes, we all "got one". . . . . right?
