If he continues to run on raising taxes, blaming the right and trying to make
everyone dependent on government programs I doubt he could beat Tweety Bird come November.

Geez, I thought he was running on a healthcare plan that is very popular (except for the mandate), salvaging a major industry, preventing a depression, restoring some respect to the US in international relations, and - oh yeah - eliminating that terrorist who happened to elude the previous president.

Regards,

I do not think Americans have a clue to what small government is...they might want it but at the same time whine if their SS or Medicare is threatened in any manner. Obama being painted as a big government guy? Who cares and so what. Not nearly as bad as Romney being defined by Obama right now as a sort of 21st century robber baron, and it is mostly Romney's fault since he is so secretive and politically inept. It is over tea baggers ....start looking at 2016.

I mean it is July already....and I am just not seeing Romney bumper stickers. It is hard to imagine him as President. I could easily imagine Obama or Clinton by this time in 2008.

If his policies have been so successful and popular then he ought run on them, however, they aren't and he won't. Respect in international relations? Surely you're joking. The one thing that is a given is that he must campaign not on his record, but rather by polarization of the electorate. IIRC, this is standard Chicago politics, or better, the means deployed by a community organizer. The great unifier of 2008 has shed his cloak.

I'm not seeing very many Obama bumper stickers either. I have never had a political bumber sticker on my vehicle because I fear vandalism by the opposition's supporters. I'd also suspect that in the case of opposing Obama that that possibility is even greater.

I know what you are saying I am afraid of the same thing. But I work in San Diego County and on a Marine Corps base. I just don't feel any excitement for him(Romney)
It seems as we get closer to November my fear level is decreasing. But perhaps I am a Pollyannah....

C'mon up to Orange county BH, we'll only egg you from an overpass on the 405. I promise! No cinderblocks or dead fish.

It'll wash off just like Mitts dogpoop-mobile!
