Actually I think Mitt Romney would have had a better chance than McCain did especially in late Sept and October. He could have turned this economic slump to his favor. He also would have had choosen a single theme by Agust and run on that for the next three months unlike McCain who never really had a theme but a bunch of uncoordinated attacks and tactics. Phil you are out of your senses again.
Out of my senses again? Ok, friend. Mind you, Romney's appeal with Independents was near zero but, yes, I'm the one "out of my senses."
People don't like Mitt Romney. The Democrats would have made him into Mr. Big Bad Big Businessman.
