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

[DrScholl]

Kerry did not have underwater favorables at earlier stages of the race, Romney is starting out with poor numbers and it's not all due to the primary, he's just an awkward candidate all around. A lot of negative perceptions are locked in.

[DrScholl]

Nobody likes Romney

except Republicans, and believe me Republicans will rally to him

except independents, moderates, who Romney has great appeal to

except conservatives, who will certainly not be voting for Obama and will be voting for Romney by default

except those who hate Obama's socialized medical scheme

 



   

Moderates do not vote for Republicans like Romney and skew Democratic overall. Most people voting for Romney will not be those doing it because they like him, it will all be about issues and ideology.
