    Leadership isn't sounding good on TV. True, many leaders have that ability but sounding good on TV, for the 15 seconds the average American would pay attention, doesn't mean you are a leader.
    I honestly had to look up what DWTS meant.

          How about just exciting his whole base. If the GOP are lukewarm to the candidate why would anyone else vote for him?

            Reading a fb conservative blog the other day...one young woman who I believe would fit nicely in the Jersey Shore and DWTS fan category spoke enthusiastically of her "excitement" due to Mitt being "handsome and wealthy" and couldn't wait to cast her vote accordingly for those very reasons.

                      Don't laugh, people voted for JFK for those reasons, and people voted for Reagan because they confused him with the roles he played in the movies. (He did, too.)

                        I'm not laughing because I'm aware millions cast there votes based on reasoning that's less than sound...and I don't mean political reasoning.

                          Pet peeve: I hate third party voting being called "throwing your vote away." (I know that by quoting it you weren't making the charge).

                          My Euro friends have convinced me we need IRV. I think that would make the third party vote jump to at least around 8-10%. It would also be fascinating to tabulate what the second choice was for Libertarians -- plenty of arguments to be made for either of the majors.

                              I second walrus' astute analysis. Listening to NPR today I have to laugh at the doom and gloom coverage. Yes the economy is weak (as opposed to losing jobs though) and all that. However, the bottome line which their idiotic coverage missed is people just don't like Mitt Romney. Some politicans have trouble with the fringe of their base but appeal to indepedents. Clinton is a good example. Some appeal strongly to their base and independents like Reagan. Both of these men also had some crossover appeal. Romney is disliked by Dems so no crossover votes. Independents don't like him either. Worse, his own party isn't thrilled about him. The last thoroughly unlikable person to win election took place forty four years ago in a much different era.

                              I was also reading a righty newspaper and listening to a radio show and two seperate yakkers brought up the 1980 race. Cons, I respectfully ask that you move past a race that happened thirty freakin' two years ago! The dynamics affecting that contest have zero bearing on this one.

                                "Papist," "Mackerel Snapper," and "Whore of Babylon" are terms that really need to re-enter politics.
