Just Sayin'... Quote(s) of the Day

So far, Mitt Romney has only won in states where he owns summer houses..."

 

Or maybe this, from the same article:

Romney has never won a majority (50% or better) of Republican primary or caucus voters. And, two-thirds of the time, he has had to spend vast sums just to claim the number two spot.

Tomorrow’s GOP primary in Florida may change that—but it won’t settle the issue of Romney’s electability.

Or:

The non-Romney vote –despite millions of dollars, months of media coverage and dozens of debates— remains stubbornly north of 60% among Republican voters. If Romney is going to defeat Obama, he will have to unite the Grand Old Party behind him. So far, there is no evidence [in] any state that he can do just that.

Is Mitt Romney Actually Electable?

TIME ~ by way of The New Moderate:

"At least we know the Tea Party won’t be

choosing the next president."

I think they will tell you that it doesn't matter that 60% of the base won't get behind him. Come November, they will vote for him anyway. Not sure that is true, unfortunately. Also if Santorum drops out at any point this becomes a totally, totally different ball game.

This excerpt from Miniter's article strikes me as right: "Romney needs to present some dramatic reform plans, starting with income-tax cuts and ending pointless government agencies. If he succeeds without these things, the 'Reagan Revolution' is dead. That may be why so many Republicans oppose Romney’s candidacy in its current form. They are simply not ready to bury Reagan." But it is more likely Romney will decide that it wouldn't be prudent. He will excite no one, which is thought to be the key to his electability (he won't scare Independents) but is actually his Achilles heel, since Independents are looking for more than that.
