Why 2012 is different to 2004 (and why that could mean a Romney win)

For that matter, in 2004 the Republican ground game was much stronger than the Democratic ground game, which was probably critical. I don't see anyone claiming that the Romney ground game is better than the Obama ground game.

If the election ends up turning on the ground game, then Romney will lose and likely lose badly.  His performance in the primaries indicates that he places little importance in a ground game, tho when the rules such as those in Virginia with its complicated ballot requirements required he build at least some ground game, he was able to.  So it's not a lack of ability to engage in the ground game, but rather a feeling that he is better off focusing on other campaign aspects.

Alot of the states you probably consider locked up, I don't. This election hasn't started yet, Mitt's message of economic freedom has not yet reached the masses. Let's wait until the ads start at least.

Good luck selling that to the public..........

He is a sucky candiate who

As I just pointed out in another thread, when Newt stops getting protection is not up to Janet Napolitano alone, just as it was not up to her alone to decide when he started getting it.  She need to get an advisory committee consisting of Boehner, Pelosi, Reid, McConnell and a fifth person the four Congressional leaders named to decide that Newt is no longer a major Presidential candidate.

Besides, Newt's protection detail is a good holding place / training exercise for Ann Romney's detail, since she (and the running mate's spouse) can't get one until July 9 (120 days before the general election).
