Romney’s problem is that his entire set of life experiences does not allow him to properly “connect” with the average voter he’s trying to win over. He’ll win over the country club crowd, but they don’t elect Presidents… except for those of the country club.

To be fair, candidates frequently see their approval rankings decline as the population gains knowledge of their platform and background. When a candidate is allowed to present themselves via vague platitudes, people can fill in the blanks with their own beliefs so less is more. Studies show that appearance is of paramount importance in people’s selection so Governor Romney benefits from a more Presidential face and height than the GOP alternatives, all the more reason to keep policy to a minimum. As such he tried to navigate the campaign at 40,000 feet, and even recently said that he was not going to get into specifics on certain policy matters because he knew those positions would only serve to harm him down the road, (http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/risk-averse-romney_634427.html). Unfortunately for him, his pesky competitors have forced him to answer for his former flexible positions and revealed him to be even a bigger opportunist than the average candidate, thus tanking his approval ratings.

Well, poor Mr. Mormon Underpants reminds me alot of Stinky Winklebum. Poor Stinky run around firing off stink-bombs from his butt all the time. Nobody would get close enough to him to talk to him. And Stinky never was able to figure out why people never liked him or wanted to have anything to do with him.

Well, Mr. Mormon Underpants has something like the same kind of problem. Except the stink-bombs come from his mouth, not his butt. He says stuff like how he likes to fire people or how his wife drives around in a pair of Cadillacs as their run-around cars. And he thinks if he walks around in one of his $100 dress shirts with the sleeves rolled up then he’s just being a regular guy.

The worst part is he’ll go around the rest of his life wondering why people don’t take to him. He might as well let go of some stink-bombs from his butt. He’s as clueless as Stinky Winklebum.

Pres Obama’s been criticized by some here for being aloof, too professorial, acting above it all.

But I’ll submit people look at his life experiences and think he has a certain empathy for others that’s based on a fundamental view of how our country should work.

Maybe Romney has that same outlook. But his life experiences – those publicized, anyway – don’t communicate that. I’ve read a couple accounts of ‘average guy’ interactions with him in some tough situations and they give him high marks for compassion. But his campaign has said they want to keep those sorts of things out of the campaign so we’re left with some pretty superficial stuff upon which to base our opinions.

And I think for a lot of people, they find whatever they want to support their preconceived notions.

I’m actually being nice here. I’m not addressing his ever-changing positions, but the way he tries to connect to people on the stump. And it’s just painfully bad. Worse than John McCain bad. Worse than John Kerry bad. Even Bush I felt more like talking with your kindly old rich uncle on the stump. Romney just feels like he’s trying sooo hard to be liked that you can’t help but not like him.

At this point I don’t think the unfavorable are a factor. The most important factor will be gas prices. If they continue to go up and the economy slows down the Republicans will be able to nominate anyone they want and they will win.

All that being said Romney will have to go through negative adds by Obama and by his fellow Republicans which will surely have a very negative affect on his favorably ratings. However, it remains to be seen whether the unfavorable ratings are malleable for a candidate his not national known.

Political scientist James Campbell, an expert on election forecasting, calculates that the weakest third-year economic growth (change in GDP adjusted for inflation) since 1952 for winning incumbents has been 2.5 percent (Clinton in 1996 and Bush in 2004). The economy grew 1.7 percent in Obama’s third year.

Thanks, Scout. Jay often uses certain “angles” or “pieces of evidence” or “passions” to help sell his argument – even if they do not, from a strictly logically rather than rhetorical standpoint, support it. He has to write daily for the public to earn his proverbial keep, which is no easy task. I think a lot of this is semi-conscious (as are many of our actions and utterances).

Not so fast. Mitt is in a primary battle. The LSM is circling the wagons for their man while Mitt, Rick, and Newt are taking shots at each other. Once the nominee is decided, things change markedly.

Gas is $3.81. Unemployment is 8.3%. Obamacare will be declared unconstitutional. O’bozo and his LSM compatriots won’t say the word “stimulus.” O’bozo’s EPA has shut down new coal plants making AC prices necessarily skyrocket, as he desired. The debt continues to grow with no end in sight. Iran is getting the bomb.

Just some highlights for y’all.

Bottom line: long way to go. And polling “registered voters” is lame. Lamer still is quoting those polls.

I will concede that he does not have the degree of self-awareness he should have as a presidential candidate, or at least as much as you or I like. But he has been married to one woman for thirty something years and has five seemingly good kids.

“Just as a technical point, Sinkwich, polling “likely” voters this far out is no more accurate than polling registered voters, because it’s impossible to tell who’s actually likely to vote six months before the election.”

You may be right Jay, but I thought the pollsters would ask questions about how respondents voted in pervious elections to determine “likely” status. Knowing whether votes were cast in, say, the last few elections means more than just some random person saying he’s registered. Acorn anyone?

Doesn’t matter. O’bozo is in deep doo-doo. His only option will be to deflect, deflect, deflect. I’m sure you and the rest of the LSM will be more than happy to help him do that.

It’s up to investigators and/or the grand jury to determine:

1) If they think Zimmerman is telling the truth.
2) Was Zimmerman wearing the gun “outside” where it could be seen.
3) Did Martin try to get it out of the holster first?
4) Did Zimmerman get it out first and then they struggled over it.

Oscar @11:57 pm – African Americans were persecuted far worse than any MORMAN. we were SLAVES, brought here in CHAINS, our women and children RAPED, forced to work under the threat of daily and hourly physical violence, denied our religon and language, All members of the family were subject to forcefullyly beaten to a pulp on the slightest whim. forced to worked from can’t see in the morning till can’t see in the evening, without any compensation and little food scraps. Family Members sold like cattle and property. we cleaned and bath the Masters and their children so they can grow to do the same thing over again to the next generation.

African AMERICANS wereTreated INHUMANELY in America for over 200 plus years and still to this day our children are being hunted down and shot like an animal in cold blood. the child lying dead on the ground with a can of ice tea in one pocket and candy in the other. Then the Shooter is treated like he was the victim of a vicious crime and then his vitimization is cheered on by the MOST WATCHED News Channel of 300 million people in AMERICA!

Then everyone goes to church on SUNDAY and PRETEND to worship GOD and PRETEND to call themselves CHRISTIANS. Now, Ask Jay to tell you again how the MORMANS were persecuted? and how that made them strange? that is one of the many reasons why I cannot trust anything Jay says or writes. He is unable to comprehend my very existence! he does not know anything about African American people,culture,history and way of LIFE. Yet he has an editorial column in a city in the SOUTH of the most popular newspapers with more than a 70% African American population. Now, HOW STRANGE IS THAT?

In a letter to Mr. Reagan dated Nov. 11, 1977, a copy of which was sent to Mr. Carter, the actor accused Mr. Reagan of spreading untruths about the Panama Canal Treaty in letters to his supporters.

Mr. Wayne wrote Mr. Carter in support of his stand on the treaty and the President wrote back in gratitude, saying, ”Your letter is great – tough and factual.”

Oh, I’ll ‘translate’…….. almost two out of every three Americansbelieve it is unconstitutional. Those percentages alone, if they demostrate absolutely nothing else, show exactly how out of touch the Democrat congress of 2008 was, and how much more so today, defending it against the odds.

And it is not a game.

It is not a ‘noble gesture’. In most circles, to be noble is to be, well, legal and constitutional, which this debacle is most certainly not.

And how about the performance of the Solicitor General before SCOTUS yesterday? Between the ‘er’s’ and ‘uhs’, it sounds like someone else is also heavily in need of a teleprompter. And the equally shameful performance by the apparently senile and addle-brained dedicated liberal Justice Ginsburg? She is the poster hag for changing the life-long appointment to the SCOTUS, literally trying to tell the SG that “I think what you should have said is…….”,or “I think you meant to say…”.

Oh well, its a no-doubter that she’ll never make it through the term of our next President, Mitt Romney, and another true conservative and constitutionalist judge will be appointed and confirmed by a newly conservative Senate and House.

Kagan?

Even the most hard core left knows she is a political appointee for her duties under Obama, serving as a previous Solicitor General herself, curiously enough during the crafting and passing of Obamacare, in which she played a major role.

The fact that this so-called ‘judge’ has not recused herself for that very reason shows two things: 1. she is no more than a left wing political hack that no more should have been on the SC any more than, say, James Carville; and 2. This disgrace of a judge and a woman has no real understanding of judicial process, and has no busines being on the SC, putting political ideology well ahead of constitutional legality, and her own hack opinion above the law.

Little wonder that the Obama administration and its ever expanding bureaucracy are the laughing stock of the world, and are so easily manipulated by the Chinese. So small minded. So very very small.

I like the mittsiah, just not as president.

I suspect I’d find him perfectly likeable as well, in a way I never would find Newt or Frothy.

I didn’t read all the comments from last night so maybe someone’s covered this, but the whole notion of likability is one that I used to find repugnant–mostly, I suspect, because I was told time and again how “likable” Americans found W. Bush, and he always struck me as kind of creepy, about the last guy I’d want to have a beer with (even though neither of us actually drinks beer these days, but that’s another post.)

But beyond that, it always bristles that anyone, let alone a significant percentage of real-life voters, would base their vote on who they felt a closer emotional bond. It’s so stupid on so many levels, the most obvious being that a) you don’t actually KNOW the guy/gal, how can you have a bond? and b) personal feelings should have nothing to do with who you regard to be best suited for the job–have you never actually hired anyone? do you really give the work to someone you just like, rather than someone who is clearly better qualified?

But, people are complicated, and probably a third or so of the people who vote in a general election do so because they feel they ought to, not because they want to, and oh yeah, billions of dollars are spent buffing up the public images of these political superstars, so what should I expect? getting angry about this fact of life makes about as much sense as shoveling sewage against the tide with a pitchfork.

It was interesting watching Donald Trump last night on FOX talking about Obamacare. By his own admission, IF Obamacare is repealed, and the uncertainty surrounding it goes away, the economy could start a rapid recovery which would work strongly in favor of Obama getting re-elected for another 4 years. That’s gotta be the ultimate Catch 22 for the GOP faithful.

not so cute now that this has become a weekly habit of yours.

I think I’ve called you and yours a “ingrates” perhaps three times now, but, whatever. It’s factual.

Milton was bailed out of financial disaster years ago, and their way of saying “thanks” is to now cut themselves loose. Allowing them to do this would set a horrible precedent, and you can bet your ass that EVERY dumbass legislator who is thinking about allowing you to break away is going to hear about it.

Let’s get real. If we were to permit every chunk of some county that happened to be doing better than the other, say, 2/3s of that same county to declare independence, it’d be chaos.

There’s nothing special about your situation, save for the level of grotesque historical ingratitude involved this time around.

The Republicans keep draining water out of a swallow pool. They tried to enlarge that pool by including the Catholic, and supporting no public funds for birth control. 90 something percent of the women eligible to be pregnant in the U.S. Catholic population use birth control. I’m sure in their treatment of Mormons ,with Romney, they have manage to undermine the support of that church too. They ran a black guy who set back race relations 10 years with his stereotype, sexual appetite, and that was the best that party could find to represent their open mindedness. I almost think they may have done Cain on purpose to scare the fence sitters on Obama, but they managed to damage the party even more. Now Obama has a chance to carry Georgia, because the minority populations are feeling threaten. I see a landslide peeking at just the right time for O. What I don’t see is how the Republican Party rebuilds, and I see huge damage to Christian organizations that have been part of this. As the Democrats become more in power you may see traditional churches coming back into favor. You can’t taint the truth for political advantage and then lose. Some of those contemporary churches of multithousands may be lonely places in a year or so.

Joseph – Think about when the ads when they begin to run and how Republicans will ask the folks are they better off now than they were four years ago.”

You mean compared to this 4 years ago?:

1. Global Financial Crisis

It’s being called the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. And like the Great Depression, the 2008 version began in the United States, but soon spread around the world.

Beginning with the subprime mortgage crisis of September, the situation soon escalated with the bankruptcy of the large investment bank Lehman Brothers. More banks failed. World stock markets plunged. Panic selling ensued. Companies collapsed or laid off workers — more than 500,000 jobs were lost in the United States in November alone.

The former chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, put the unfolding drama into perspective in September when he called it a “once-in-a-century type of financial crisis.”

Iceland’s banking system collapsed in October, forcing it to ask for help from the International Monetary Fund. Other countries, such as Hungary, Latvia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Pakistan, also sought assistance from the IMF.

Leaders from 20 of the world’s rich and developing economies met in Washington in mid-November to discuss a unified response. Calls were made for a dramatic overhaul of the world’s financial architecture.

There are now fears for the collapse of the U.S. auto industry, one of the backbones of American industry.

The Fed’s key interest rate stands practically at zero, effectively eliminating it as a tool of monetary policy.

In the United States alone, it’s estimated that the government’s bailout effort has cost $8.5 trillion…and counting, as President Obama plans to enact his own rescue plan once he takes office on January 20.

Obama’s 2 accomplishments in his 4 years were stimulus and health care. His stimulus package was a complete failure, and his health care package is about to get thrown out by the SCOTUS. Gas prices are running out of control, high unemployment for 4 years, and still no signs of a recovering economy. But yet Jay does his opinion piece on how unpopular Mitt Romney is using polling data from the left wing media? You guys are getting desperate. I can’t wait to see your articles in October.
