The Difference Between Romney and Obama Supporters

     The main difference is we actually like our candidate. We don't support him solely out of hatred for the other guy.

     "If there is one thing that comes through loud and clear in interviews with Democratic delegates attending the convention here, it’s that Obama’s base is far more passionate about him than Republicans seem to be about Romney. At the GOP’s muted convention, all anyone could talk about was Wisconsin lawmaker and vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan — not Romney"

    You have conservatives admitting this. No one has admitted it more frankly than Howie Carr last week:

    "He’s not Barack Obama. In the end, that’s what it comes down to with Mitt Romney. He’s running as the non-Barack Obama."

      The trouble is the referendum election has not been working. Carr presumes that everyone thinks like his Tea Party friends.

       Most people want an actually reason to vote for Mitt. Not much there. The only hope for Romney is that everyone just blames the President for the economy without any context either of where things were 4 years ago, or what's going on in Europe today or for that matter the converted effort the GOP has made to prolong the recession for partisan political gain.

       Will the country simply vote hatred? Doubtful as most people don't hate the President. Carr and his friends are the minority. This is why this DNC convention should at the minimum be more relevant than Romney's. In that convention it was obvious no one cares about Mitt.

        The RNC speakers one after the other served their own agenda. Christy-2016. Jeb Bush-to get "everyone to stop hating my brother."

        Rubio-2016. Condi Rice-another apologist for the Bush Administration.

        You will surely hear the President's name a lot more this week than we heard Romney's last week. This might well explain why Romney got so little bounce-after all people probably couldn't remember whose convention it was.

        As for 2008, here's the thing. I'm a minority in this probably. But I'm really a bigger fan of the President now than I was then. I mean I wanted to defeat the Republicans then. But I had supported Hillary during the primary, though unlike some Hillary supporters, I got over that quickly.

        I like him better now. We need this guy. We need to finish what we started. It's only halftime in America.
