Prediction, Romney will get nominated then lose to obama in 2012.

Romney is so unelectable. All this 15% tax and all his tax shelters will just totally make him even more un-relatable to the masses.

He is just going to come off as some elite presidential candidate. Obama 4 more years, good going GOP. Huntsman would have been the right candidate to go against Obama and win.

Poll: Obama swamps Romney among youth, independent, Latino voters


As prominent Tea Partiers desperately urge Republican lawmakers and Republican presidential primary voters to move further to the right, President Obama is racing ahead among independents. Public Policy Polling, delivering results today from its first national poll (pdf), reports that Obama leads GOP presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney by a solid five points and that he leads Romney by a whopping 41-point spread among moderate voters.

Writing at the PPP website, Director Tom Jensen notes the way the President seems to be regaining strong support among demographics key to his big victory in 2008.

“One thing that really stands out in this poll is the extent to which Obama has claimed the middle. He’s up 68-27 on Romney with moderates. He also leads by 20 points with voters under 45, a group there’s been some concern about slippage with, and he has a 66-30 advantage with Hispanics.”

That’s big news in swing-state Colorado, where nearly a third of voters are independents, where the growing Latino population exerts increasing political influence and where youth voters turned out in record numbers to vote for Obama last election.

Jensen writes that the caustic Republican primary, which has seen the former Massachusetts Governor run way to the right of past positions on flashpoint issues such as abortion and immigration, has cost Romney deeply among independent voters.

“Over the last month Romney’s seen his negatives with independents rise from 46% to 54%, suggesting that the things he has to say and do to win the Republican nomination aren’t necessarily helping him for the general. Obama’s turned what was a 45-36 deficit with independents a month ago into a 51-41 advantage.”

 

Obama is an elitist, it didn't stop him 2008.

 

If only the CIC had access to your intelligence sources and policy credentials...

 

We'd certainly be a whole hell of a lot better off.

 

You can than Palin for his win.

Now you have Super Elitist Romney VS Elitist Obama.

Voters will pick Obama. Romney smells too much of Gordon Gekko, 1980s style raider. Too Elite for public consumption.

 

I'd rather blame McCain

The rest of your speculation/opinion is just sour grapes.

 

As compared to Romney, who was born into wealth and privilege, and then amassed another fortune (in a manner that Gingrich has something to say about)? You're comparing Obama to Romney on your elitist meter? Perhaps it needs new batteries.

Yes, and good for reason.
