>> Dude, Romney's likeability problem bloomed during the primary, when his own party opponents bashed him mercilessly...that's the extreme wing problem I described earlier...it's what drove romney to say some of the nuttiest things he said, to take some of the extreme positions he took and to issue the reversals from his positions as MA governor and/or as senate candidate...self deportation, severely conservative, prolife to kill roe v wade, and so on...c'mon man, you are not seeing things very clearly. I don't think those things are nutty; they're ideas, and that's more than Obama has come up with. The way problems get solved is with ideas. This election was won, in large part, by a vicious campaign of lies against Romney that the media loved, and kept in the forefront for weeks on end because they fit the media's political agenda. I think it is likely we have driven off the REAL fiscal cliff at this point; whatever bullshit patch the president & Congress agree to will not be anywhere near enough to save the country from SS & MEdicare & now, Obamacare.

Al, Dude, Romney's likeability problem bloomed during the primary, when his own party opponents bashed him mercilessly... ... using language of the left at times. I'll never forget Newt Gingrich going out there and bashing Romney because of Bain Capital. It's like he took a page out of Elizabeth Warren's playbook, yet no one will ever mistaken him for a bleeding heart liberal. Obama couldn't have asked for a better gift. Tenchusatsu
