Analyst said it from the start. I refused to believe it. I do now. Romney's biggest 'real' challenge is his religion. |

Only after I and my supposed persecution complex had been made the focus of this thread. Go back and read it from the start Seattle.

Perhaps more importantly, you subjectively interpreted the statistic you cited as meaning that those people are bigots. We simply disagreed with that interpretation. |

IIRC, a few of us last spring tried to discuss the many struggles Romney would face in the election, his faith being one of them. |

I can't express how much better your old avatar was than your new one.

I also totally disagree with Huckabee's perspective, voiced to Jay Leno, that Americans are looking more for the guy they work with for President, rather than the guy that laid them off. I don't want any of my co-workers for President. And though I may or may not like my CEO, especially when I've been laid off (which I have), he's the guy creating jobs. I'd like someone at the top who understands business and economics. If our country has come to the point where Americans prefer Joe Blue Collar Worker making the World's Biggest Decisions, God help us. Yes, the President needs to relate to the common man. But I truly don't understand this obsession with trying to make the common man President. I want the President to be an extraordinary person who has accomplished extraordinary things, because he's going to be faced with extraordinary decisions. Romney may be a little over-polished, and he may have a bit of a position problem, but I think I could trust him with his finger on The Button, his judgment on Supreme Court nominees, or his hand in the nation's fiscal affairs. John Edwards? Ha.

McCain has stuck with his unpopular beliefs, and is being rewarded. Genuineness is very important to Americans. And Romney has not been able to pull off the switcheroo, like some other politicians have. |

To Barbara's point, I don't think John Edwards has either. I'm not sure Obama so much strikes me as disingenuous, as naive.
