You hope, I'm sure you'd rather Willard's (lack of) character isn't made the issue it should be, eh?
So where is this new allegation by the desperate Left..put up a link.

Desperate? You're the one bringing up democrats in defense of your little empty suit Willard and supplying nothing.

I'm just hoping for 269-272 EVs for Romney. That's all I care about.

But one piece of bad news from this poll:

Indeed, regardless of which candidate they support, those surveyed predict by 56%-36% that the president will win in November over Republican Mitt Romney.

They also thought the dems would retain the house in '10. obama's gone. Everyone knows it. This is all just theater.

Well, Mitt Romney has never been Mr. Popularity here, or on most of the conservative websites. Anybody but Mitt dragged on a long, long, long time, and it hasn't petered out yet.

The only time he gets some popularity is when he's not campaigning. His wooden speech and demeanor make Pinocchio look more like a real boy than Mitt. We will see how popular he really is come election day.

"Since becoming the presumptive Republican nominee, Romney's favorable-unfavorable rating has jumped to 50%-41%, his best ever and in the same neighborhood as Obama's 52%-46% standing."


That means on net favorable ratings Obama is +6, Romney is +9.

Yes, the negativity of the primaries is finally staring to wear off since Santorum and Gingrich have finally been shut up. There are still some negative forces at play behind the scenes, but they are mostly preaching to their own choirs. This primary process was horrific for a candidate that has to go on to run in a campaign this tough, but hopefully we can get on with it now.

Regardless of how bad the primaries were/are, you realize that the actual elections are going to be much, much worse, right? Especially since we've had the chance to see how Obama does his job. He won't be this new comer that very few know anything about, he's going to be cornered, and fight aggressively.
You ask me, I'd say that the primaries were necessary training for the road ahead, /especially/ if we want to beat Obama. He's already been showing his teeth -- Gay support, Mitt's "Gay Attack", Usama, etc -- and the Rep. candidate has to be ready for just about anything.
