I remember Laura Ingraham speaking for Mitt at the Iowa Straw Poll in 2008. Here she was on her radio show today:
“I might be the skunk at the picnic but I’m going to say it. I’m going to say it clear. Romney’s losing. I don’t like to start a Friday show with this, but I feel like I must.
“If the election were held today, Mitt Romney would lose. This is especially vexing when we have survey after survey showing that two-thirds of Americans think the country is going in the wrong direction. This is especially disconcerting when you see the numbers that came out yesterday on the voters’ confidence in America’s future: an overwhelming majority of Americans think America now is in decline and that their children’s future will not be as bright as their own. Forty-two months straight of over 8 percent unemployment.
“Each of these statistics on their own, on its own, should indicate a sizable win for a strong conservative. Mitt Romney cannot at this point be convincing himself that he’s winning. I hope they’re not. I hope the Romney campaign actually knows what’s going on with these numbers.”
I continue to believe that what this means is a need for a viable third party.
I think we all just hate the whole mess that our political system has become.
I too would like a third party. But this round we need to back Obama. A vote for anyone else is a vote for Mitt.
