I think that we are underestimating how much of the middle Obama has lost. This was written on facebook by a friend of mine who is a lesbian living in West hollywood. "watching yet another debate...anxiously wondering which one will be our new President!!! When Matt Damon turns his back on you, it can't be lookin good for you..." "And now Bill Daley is stepping down...his people are turning on him one by one. I hope Obama steps up his golf game-the more vacay and down time the less he can further put our country in debt!" She had a little mom and pop (mom and mom?) shop that just went out of business in December. Obama's policies are hurting his own natural constituency as well.

Paul Smith, So, are you saying that your guy does not use sound bites? Of course, he does. That is part of the election process, no matter how we feel about it. That fact is the Romney Super Pacs failed to keep up with the Gingrich debate attacks and Romney was handed his b---- after the last two debates. Now, he has to suck it up, get a little mean and go after Gingrich and Santorum in a far more powerful manner. If he doesn't, he loses. The overriding question is whether Romney is up to the ask. Romney lost to McCain, a very weak GOP candidate, because he lacked aggressiveness. McCain lost to Obama, in part, because he failed to take on Obama. It should be obvious by now there are more than a few of us out here who are not breathing in the daily GOP DC beltway spin. It may not be in the cards, but frankly I would like to see Santorum win or come in very high in Florida. If nothing else, it would serve to rattle the minds of folks like Karl Rove and the MSM. My money would be on Romney for Florida given its populace. TWT.
