Are Republicans happy with their presidential candidate?

[Guns Guns Guns]

​

Romney is being hit with criticism in his own party over the tone and direction of the election campaign with a narrowing window of time to regroup.



A series of national polls showed the incumbent's lead growing, leaving some Republicans anxious about his prospects, uncomfortable with the management of his campaign and impatient...

• Massachusetts Republican Senator Scott Brown used Romney’s comment to play up his blue-collar roots. “My mom got public assistance for a short period of time, so I don’t think anybody is on public assistance because they want to be,” he told reporters. “They want jobs.”

• “I just don’t view the world the same way he does,” Nevada Senator Dean Heller told reporters yesterday.

• South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham said Romney should leave fundraising to others, such as his wife, Ann Romney. “This is not rocket science.” Graham said.

Senate Republican leaders uncharacteristically ended their weekly media availability at the Capitol yesterday without responding to questions from reporters...




Under pressure from Republicans to spend more time campaigning, Romney aides were considering adding stops in Colorado and Ohio to a schedule that planned to have the candidate spending much of the weekend at his beachside home in La Jolla, California.




Recent polls indicate a distinct shift against Romney nationally and in swing states at a critical point.

• A survey conducted Sept. 12-16, before the videotape from May surfaced, by the Pew Research Center put Obama ahead of Romney 51 percent to 43 percent among likely voters.

That’s the largest advantage in September the survey has shown for any presidential nominee among likely voters since 1996, when President Bill Clinton led Republican challenger Bob Dole, 50 percent to 38 percent.

• Polling figures released yesterday by Gallup showed that Americans have a more negative than positive reaction to Romney’s videotaped comments...

• Quinnipiac University gave Obama the lead in Virginia and Wisconsin, home state of the Republican vice presidential nominee, Representative Paul Ryan. Obama and Romney were in a statistical tie in Colorado in the polls conducted between Sept. 11 and 17.

• Polling by Fox News released yesterday showed Obama with leads ranging from five points to seven points among likely voters in Ohio, Virginia and Florida.

Not only are they not happy with Romney .. who they can thank the Tea Party for .. but they're facing the reality that they may never win a national election ever again .. at least not in their present form.

Demographics are against that happening.

By 2016, they'll be facing Hillary Clinton and a shrinking base.

They are on their way to becoming the Whigs.

A. If you don't know how Romney came to be the nominee, I'm not sure you're qualified for political discussion.

The entire republican nominating process was dominated by the Tea Party. How is it that you don't know that?

B. If you'd like to discuss your shrinking base, I'll be real happy to accomodate you. It appears that you don't know that either.

C. In case you haven't noticed, I don't support either pary .. AND, the shrinkage of the Republican Party does not suggest that there will only be the Democratic Party. The collapse of the Republican Party is their problem, not mine.
