We'd better all hope that is wrong Neeka, or should we just give up now, and let Obama win again.?? The sooner we all realize ....what is.....is.... the better off we will all be. So it's up to all of us to work towards the ticket that will beat Obama..... We were hoping that Newt would be his 'better self' too....but evidently, it was not to be. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO ABO OMG ABO OMG ABO OMG

Romney's struggles among independents are due almost entirely to the fact that independent women, who were voting for him over Obama by 5 points last fall, now favor the Democratic incumbent by a 51 percent-to-37 percent margin. "Romney is is being tied down by negative perceptions of a GOP that has been further damaged by the contraception controversy," said pollster Fred Yang This is all because of Rick Santorum's contraception talk and it impacts all Republicans, not just Romney. The NY Times has been beating this drum now for the past couple of months to scare the women voters.

Neeka This is straight out of the Democrats' talking points. Just be prepared----this is going to be one doozy of a Presidential election. I have done polling, including wrting polls-----397 independent women interviewed in 12 states is truly not significant. I have a background in Mathematics and Probbility and Statistics---you may quote me if it helps. Then we have WAPO who has rarely supported a Republican candidate. Consider the sources. In Reference to the following "Some Republicans also take issue with the Gallup survey — suggesting that the sample size of 371 independents across twelve states is far too small to draw overly broad conclusions about the results. (Worth noting: The Gallup result is above the Post's internal polling guidelines for producing reputable results from subgroups.)" see next post

Back again-------------I have missed the recent election figures so checked in a few minutes ago.

I will support the nominees who are confirmed at the GOP National Convention.

Notice in this short list from the net that the only big win for Romney was in D.C.

With the exception of D.C. Romney's % of the voters voting for him remained less than 50% of the Republican voters participating.

Now with that observation-----------I believe we have every reason in the world for the Independents and Conservatives to stay in the race through to the convention. Why?

By staying in they influence the whole picture---------------there is a Vice President to be named--------- this is where the influence of the tea party and of those who did not vote for Romney can be significant in choosing a Vice President Candidate if Romney is confirmed as the nominee for President.

The bottom line is that the VP must be someone who can bring in the votes that Romney may not be able to bring in. .

That is where Gingrich, Paul, Santorum have power--------------as they represent all together about 50% of the Republican vote numbers in the primaries. They have influence in who will be the VP nominee for a winning ticket. I hope that they will use that power as conservatives have in other elecitons.

Again the article is a "Democrat Talking Point style Article" --------it is not believable. Propaganda style politics. jmho mj
