Republican against obama, generic wins handily. if you run a real republican with a name on him, he doesnt do that way. to the extent romney is generic, to the extent he isnt a negative. negative campaign against him doesnt work, as long as he sticks on the economy, explain what is he will do. and runs almost exclusive on that, he can win. i think he has discipline. i would add stability to stay on this right until the end despite the urging to get all sexy and interesting. i think that is the w...
