Will Romney lose the election because hes too rich?
Just MHO but i think the guy loses. Ive heard this same sort of response with alot of working class people when discussing Romney. (Both Repub and Dem)
Basically they cant relate because they think hes elitist. Discuss.... http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/...mpaign/263061/ The Obama ad is called "Not One of Us," and that was another theme of my conversations with voters about Romney. (It's an insidious title -- can you imagine Romney making an anti-Obama ad called "not one of us" without getting shouted down for implicit racism?) Those opposed to Obama cited various reasons, from disappointment to anger to being convinced he's a Muslim. But the impressions of Romney were remarkably consistent: He's for the rich. "I think Obama's more for the regular working class people, and Romney's for the big business and the well-to-do," said Eric Burkhead, the road and cemetery superintendent for Kirkwood Township, working on a truck in the gravel driveway of the local garage. The 66-year-old didn't like what he saw happening with coal and wasn't wild about Obamacare, but he planned to vote for Obama. I heard it over and over again from Ohioans -- the idea that Romney stands for the wealthy and not for them. Obama's depiction of his rival as an out-of-touch rich guy, which has gotten no little assistance from Romney himself, has made a deep and effective impression with these self-consciously working-class voters. |

Gov. Romney left Massachusetts a billion-dollar deficit and the highest debt per person of any state in the country.

I am, but I'm also aware that each thread is an animal unto itself, and I'm trying not to derail it. I used to get into these big political tiffs until I became sick of the pointlessness of it. At one time it was fun, now it just makes me ill, expending so much energy and negative feelings so that I could declare victory in some cyber war of opinions. I'm much more at peace today, largely because I don't visit the DC forum as much as I once did, and post even less.

I'd rather have a candidate that made his money in the business world than a candidate that made his money that was taken from people via a tax.

I agree, if Romney wasn't a dbag this would be a blowout by halftime.
So I'll hold my nose and vote for the vet FA quarterback for the country instead of the Matt Cassel whom I know is nothing but and L in our stat sheet every week. An Obama that doesn't have to worry about re-election will be disastrous for this country. |

You are talking about someone who, with this economy, should be getting crushed by Blimpie the Clown.
You cant blame it all on Romney, and Obama's ability as a politician is undeniable.
