The people who know the candidate best are those least likely to elect him president.

Despite headquartering his campaign in Boston, the former governor of Massachusetts isn't going to win his home state this fall.

More significantly, he isn't going to try.

Ditto California, the state where he owns a beachfront La Jolla home complete with a $55,000 car elevator.

And Michigan, the state of his birth, where his father served two terms as governor.

1) Why would he waste money in CA where Obama has an average 16pt lead in a state that leans hard Dem? Ditto MA where it hasn't gone Rep since 84 and where Obama averages a 20pt lead?

2) I would love to see where they are getting he won't go for Michigan, because recent polls make it a swing state. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/2012_elections_electoral_college_map.html
 
While Michigan is in play Mitt will give it a run. You're just making crap up if you believe he won't try for Michigan.

He will win Michigan.....more people have moved out of the Detroit area than his vote margin in 2008.......among those who are still living in Detroit unemployment is still over 16%.......in 2010 we got a Republican governor and the Republicans took both the House and the Senate....since then we've balanced the budget twice AND cut taxes.....

Even though you got a Republican governor and the Republicans took both the House and the Senate that balanced the budget twice AND cut taxes?

Yet unemployment is still over 16%?

How's that spending-slashing, tax-cutting mantra working out for the voters?

Yep. Apparently you think it means saying something without having any proof to back it up.

I'm saying the author of the article said it. If you have any evidence to the contrary, why not share it?

There's already a link to the poll that shows it is in play. I'll reiterate. You're just making crap up if you believe he won't try for Michigan.

Actually the author said it looks likely that he won't win or try to win in Michigan. Sounds like wishful thinking on his part. As for the other two, what republican would waste resources on California...and Massachusetts is getting about as bad for them. So I really don't see the big deal. It sounds like a sound strategy to me.
 
Do all you guys want to read something really stupid and ridiculous ?



You do.........good


OK .....AssWipe or Rune, either one of you........post something.....we're all waiting...

The author says "never before has a presidential candidate written off their home state.Or all of them, in Mitt Romney's case. Despite headquartering his campaign in Boston, the former governor of Massachusetts isn't going to win his home state this fall. More significantly, he isn't going to try.


But writing off his home states seems historically unprecedented. To be clear, past presidential candidates have lost them, most recently Al Gore in 2000 when winning Tennessee would have put him over the top.


But even Walter Mondale won Minnesota in Reagan's 49-state reelection romp. And while George McGovern lost South Dakota against the 1972 Nixon high tide, as a matter of pride, at least he tried to win it.


If Romney hadn’t started shifting his social positions to the right when he was governor—especially on choice and stem-cell research—he might have held on to a fighting chance in Michigan. But his preemptive pander on letting the auto industry go bankrupt helped put a stake in that electoral option."

The author's name is John Avlon, a senior columnist for Newsweek.
