WSJ - Romney Struggles to Gain Traction in Battlegrounds

Quote:
With two months to Election Day, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney faces the disconcerting reality that he isn't winning most of the states he would need to beat President Barack Obama.


I think the fat lady just sang.

Great! There's really no need for you to brave the masses and push your way into the polling place in November. :D

Usual asshatery from the usual suspects:

Quote:
It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks," Romney wrote, an apparent reference to a statement from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo that denounced the anti-Islam film that is the source of the protesters' anger. The embassy's statement was released before protesters stormed the American embassy in Cairo on Tuesday.

More on post-truth Romney:

Republicans Race to Criticize Obama in Wake of Attacks on U.S.

Quote:
There were two problems with the Romney statement. One is that the original embassy statement was written before the Cairo embassy was overrun and the violence had started. The second was that it wasn't an official statement by the president.

Pretty sure his statement was in reference to the attacks in Libya not Egypt. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I am sure you are all aware about recent Romney comments that were recorded at a closed-door donor event.

He said: "All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what ....These are people who pay no income tax. "

Here is good analysis of how he is wrong:

Where Are the 47% of Americans Who Pay No Income Taxes?

Quote:
Mitt Romney says citizens who don't pay income tax will never vote for him. But eight of the top 10 states with the highest number of nonpayers are red states.

So let's set that speculation aside and look at who the people are who actually pay no income tax. Romney's statements are a little unclear, but it appears that the 47 percent figure represents all of those who pay no income tax, rather than the Democratic base. His problem is that those people are disproportionately in red states -- that is, states that tend to vote Republican.


I will go even further and claim that GOP' war on "social safety nets" is one of the key contributor to such "disproportional" distribution.

Here is uncomfortable truth - strong social safety nets lead to decreased poverty, and to fewer people not paying any federal taxes.

Just because they are red states doesn't mean they aren't full of folks who are on the government dole, who do, in fact, vote for the guy who promises them more stuff from everyone else. What it does mean is that the rest of us show up in force because we know we have to counter that vote. I've lived in 3 of those states and I can tell you its the same in all three.

So, he insulted people that were not going to vote for him anyway.

Pretty much.

Not a huge issue considering all candidates think the same way. They're not trying to "woo" the other sides candidates. That's a lost cause. Is why they concentrate on certain states to begin with.

They're trying to get to the undecided folks.

The way I see it, either way we go will likely suck.
