Mitt Romney Has the Lowest Favorability Rating Of Any Presidential Nominee In Modern

Re: Mitt Romney Has the Lowest Favorability Rating Of Any Presidential Nominee In Mod

A thoughtful type would recognize this poll as a SCATHING condemnation of Obama in that he's in danger of losing to the least liked candidate in history. How badly has his Presidency sucked? THAT badly. Woot, I guess. :shrug:

Well said:
The problem Mitt Romney has is, he is too honest and does not know how to pretend. He is more of a doer than an actor and used car salesman.. If you look at the White House press secretary Jay Carney this guy knows how spin. He can lie and not blink an eye or move a facial muscle. Mitt is smart enough to do this, but his conscience will not allow him to get good at it. He is a Bishop in his church and too many people he is close to will be watching. This makes him awkward since he might be able to charm, but it not sure if he is being too sleazy for his flock. He will do better in office, where it is not about the entertainment factor but more about doing the job.

In my experience, when it comes to women, good guys finish last. The good guy is predictable, honest and boring. The bad boy is more exciting since he is not exactly on the level. The best liars will get more loving. It could do with women and unconditional love and bad boys exercising this to a larger extent.

If you look at the way the female vote breaks down, you can sort of tell who the good and bad boys are based on who the women are slanting to. The male vote goes the other way. Men prefer data and facts and not fluff. Men are more defensive against bull since it takes one to know one. Men lie to women not to each other. Mitt is better with the guys because men sense he is honest while the ladies like the bad boy Obama. Mitt does not know how to be bad in that subtle way.

But in the end the women will date Vinnie since he is cool, but will marry Herb since he is a better provider. I predict the women will date Obama but in the end will marry Mitt. The guys will stay with Mitt.

I'm not sure what part of this I found more humourous......he's too honest for his own good?....are you serious?...there isn't an honest politician out there....he is only honest behond closed door to the donars funding his election....the rest of us peons are stomping ground who he doesn't plan to worry about because we all expect handouts and free rides and want to only pay 0 to 13% in tax like the rich guy....BTW...I work everyday and pay my taxes....but I'm in that 47% who likes the tax break I get for my mortgage, my student loans, and for being married.....but that makes me a freeloader and a victim looking for a handout in Romney's eyes.....right?....so why would I vote for him...oopsey daisy....by your standards I'm not voting but merely picking the man I would prefer to be married to....get real!!!

bazinga. if Romney is the least liked candidate in history....Obama should be ahead by 15-20 points in the polls.

I guess that's why all their focus is on how bad Romney is...since there is nothing they can point to and say "look how good Obama is" :lamo

No, given the state of the economy Romney should be ahead by 15-20 points. Not because Obama hasn't done a good job, but because people tend to vote based on their pocketbooks and don't generally engage in a lot of deep analysis. That Obama is winning with unemployment over 8% is a stinging indictment of Romney as a candidate.

I've been making that point for months. There's nothing to prop Obama up on. There's only the weakness of the other side. If anything, the OP confirms it.

Yeah, instead he's running against a spoiled, corporate shill who reverses anything he said previous so long as it panders to the crowd he's currently in front of.

And when the best even the most ardent Obama cheerleader on DP can say is that they cancel out each other's suckishness, that tells what you need to know about how bad the Administration has been.
 
Re: Mitt Romney Has the Lowest Favorability Rating Of Any Presidential Nominee In Mod

As I have said before Romney is neither left nor right. He is in the "I don't give a damn" party. This guy has flipp flopped on issues more times than a slinky. I wish someone would put together all the flip flops hes done just in the last 18 months not to mention since he decided to run for Prez. I am not computer literate enough and maybe it would be too long of a post. If I were his opponent I would be doing this as much as I could. It would be entertaining if it weren't so pathetic.

Reading ... still not your strong point. As I said, it's NOT that Obama hasn't done a good job. He has done a good job under extraordinarily tough conditions.

What does it say about you if at the 2 minute warning you are tied 0-0 with the inaugural season Tampa Bay Bucs?

Oh, you attempted to put a smiley face on it as you cited his suckish performance, but results are what counts, not excuses; he didn't deliver, and he's in danger of losing to the least liked candidate in history.

You'll cheer for him no matter what, natch, but if he had done a "good job," or even perceived to have done a "good job," he'd be surging.

Irrelevant. It's about the quality of the teams, NOT the judgement of their fans.

But that was a valiant effort to twist the analogy. ;)
 
Re: Mitt Romney Has the Lowest Favorability Rating Of Any Presidential Nominee In Mod

if Romney has the lowest favorability rating of any candidate ever.... why do the polls have it so close of a race?

Results without context are meaningless, which is why conservatives insist on leaving out the context. Thus Conservative can claim that Bush did a great job his first term because the unemployment rate was lower than it is now ... even though we actually lost more jobs under Bush than we have under Obama.

Given Obama's record, Romney should be a landslide ahead. He's not, that says a lot about Romney right there.

Aaaaaand on cue, an attempt to change the subject to Bush. :lamo

And even then, the polls show that the public cuts Obama that very slack, so they get the "context," and he's STILL in danger of losing to the least-liked candidate in history. Yes, his performance has sucked THAT badly. Anything else you'd like to add to emphasize the point even more starkly?

Curse of the 3rd party!

I haven't looked at him that hard but I suspect I'd be fine with him on his own. Not sure how it'd shake out in Congress, though.

That much is true. I wonder if after election after election, both sides offer such suckitude, there won't be more of a chance for 3rd party growth.
