Good for him. This is going to be a nasty campaign and Romney needs to call down the attack dogs on obama and the heavily disliked progressive types who vote for him.
Disliked by people who will, obviously, not be voting for Obama anyway, if they so heavily dislike the 'types who vote for him'.
That's very true. The issue that Romney has is that they might not vote for him either. Good attack ads will convince them to do so.
If anything, Romney's greatest problem is that he is being heavily outspent.
