>> How's Romney going to corral the womens and Hispanic votes? The important question is what is Obama going to do about the uncommitteds & independents. The cold, hard reality is that uncommitted and independents always break for the challenger. As you would expect: if, after four years of Obama, a person is still "on the fence", he's not going to vote for the incumbent. It consistently works this way. This race is over unless Romney makes a serious blunder somewhere over the next few months.

Pubo, > How's Romney going to corral the womens and Hispanic votes? Simple. By supporting traditional family values, good economic policies, and individual rights and opportunities. That will resonate much better than the divide-n-conquer tactics of the Democrats, who just want to throw each voter group a bone or two. Tenchusatsu

With friends like these... By Steve Benen - Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:15 PM EDT Associated Press There's been some scuttlebutt about Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) possibly becoming Mitt Romney's running mate. Folks may want to put those rumors on hold for a little while. Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana endorsed Mitt Romney for president on Wednesday -- then criticized him a day later in an interview with The Indianapolis Star. [...] "You have to campaign to govern, not just to win," Mr. Daniels told Matthew Tully of The Indianapolis Star. "Spend the precious time and dollars explaining what's at stake and a constructive program to make life better. And as I say, look at everything through the lens of folks who have yet to achieve." According to Mr. Tully, "after a pause, Daniels added with disappointment, 'Romney doesn't talk that way.' " Daniels went on to urge Romney to talk with voters "with some specificity" about his agenda, with the implication being that the presumptive Republican nominee has not yet done so thus far. In the larger context, the fact that Daniels was publicly critical of Romney a day after endorsing him falls into another pattern we've seen: Romney's supporters are less than kind towards their preferred presidential candidate. Shortly after Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) threw his support to Romney, the senator said, "There are a lot of other people out there that some of us wish had run for president -- but they didn't." Shortly after former NRCC Chairman Tom Davis endorsed Romney, he said on national television, "He may not be Mr. Personality. You know, he's the guy who gives the fireside chat and the fire goes out." And shortly after Jon Huntsman announced his support for Romney, he argued on MSNBC in support of "some sort of third-party movement or some alternative voice out there that can put forward new ideas." Can't you just feel the enthusiasm among Romney's highest-profile supporters?
