(320 posts)Not to mention the slew of flip-flops that Romney just had on abortion and health care. People are reminded of why they didn't like Romney in the first place before he momentarily restored himself as their Great White Hope.

It looks like Romney may have gone up 1 point in today's Gallup Poll of LV.
So although Biden did well, what the public is waiting for is for OBAMA to do well. I don't think we'll see much poll movement until Obama has his moment.

(19,458 posts)I've seen both of their events. The Obama events have people straining to shake his hand, etc., taking pics. Romney? Pffft. they're barely involved at all, and 1/3 the size of the President's crowds.
Maybe the busses from Mass and Utah broke down...

The right-wing doesn't like Romney, and polls show most voters are picking him because they dislike OBAMA not because they like Mitt.
But they're still showing up in the POLLS in large numbers because while they aren't interested in attending a Romney rally per se, they may still come out to vote for him as an anti-Obama vote.
And as Obama said to his crowds in FLORIDA yesterday, "Don't get Mad! VOTE!!"

(3,789 posts)but the rest are. My IL's weren't political but they hated Obama though.

(1,773 posts)People voting for him don't understand what that means, really.
Non-Mormons are not really people to Mormons, unless they're a potential recruitment.
And you can see it in how Romney treated companies and workers at Bain.

(7,581 posts)It's actually hard work running for president, something I truly doubt Romney has experience with.
And why wasn't the media all over him when he was "exhausted"? Imagine if Obama or Biden had taken off for "exhaustion"?
