The NBC and the Wallstreet journal poll has Obama beating romney by six points, and Romeys Negatives and Unfavorables are going up.

and to Romney still has problems with blue collar republicans,(why he lost south carolina)
he can not win with just upper income people because he is going to split that vote with Obama.

The only way romney can win is if the recession in europe severly hurts the U.S or
a connflict with Iran pushes oil to over 120.00 a barrel

other than that its a close race because the electoral map favors obama and demographic trends
favor obama. plus the only reason he is dominating is because he has much more money than newt
but when newt gets a little bit of money he gives romney a hard time. Those attack ads are not going to work on Obama,because he has a billion dollars to defend himself.

How is Romney any different than Obama?

Yes, I do see he is running as a Republican.

If you can't see that, I can't help you and won't even waste my time. i realize when people ask such an inane question, they don't really want the answer.

The Wall Street Journal has an agenda so take anything they do with a grain of salt. Also, those blue collar workers...like the ones in South Carolina you refer to, are not going to vote for Obama.

Its not an insane question. What is the difference between Romney and Obama other than bank accounts and skin color?

Which is a good thing. I want people using debates as guideline much more so than 30 second commercial ads.

Nice attempt at dodging the question.

Seriously, I am the third person asking how Romney is different that Obama. So please do answer, or will will assume you have none, and you are simply dodging.

I have answered that question about a million times and I will not waste my time doing it again. It is quite obvious that it would be useless and the question is inane. This article gives a good summary of how they differ economically and it is pretty fair. Read it if you honestly want to know.

Of course, they differ on foreign policy and social issues also, but the economic issues are where they have the most stark differences and that is what we need most right now.

You had a similar analysis last time. I'm betting your candidate gets tore apart again. Only worse.

The demographic's are much more favorable for the Dem's where the EV's are this time. The Secretary of State's and legal challenge's favor the President as well.

The debates are a smokescreen. The failure of the Congressional Tea Party has severely damaged the GOP and the Romney/Gingrich weak showing masquerading as a battle is child's play.

These guys are afraid of each other and this is the weakest debate/vetting we've seen from the GOP... I would say ever but there's nothing on record to top the vetting of Palin pre-announcement.

Obama v Clinton put this to absolute shame.
