Mitt has a tough up hill battle. Current national polling shows him and Obama within the 3% margin of error but when you examine the electoral count and that there's really only 11 States in play Obama has a huge lead.
Currently RCP has Obama ahead with a 227 to 170 electoral votes. Of the 11 swing states in play Obama has leads in 9 of the 11 states with substantial leads in Ohio, Co, NV and PA. If Obama wins those four it's game over. It's probabl a misnomer to call Ohio and PA swing States, at the present, as the Republicans war on women has changed the spread substantially. In Ohio Romney enjoyed a slight lead over Obama. After the war on women commenced Obama now has an 8 to 11% lead.
It has been funny to see Republicans grasping at straws in an attempt to placate women voters. Polling has shown that it aint working. If they do reverse their stance on womens reproductive issues then they will alienate a large precentage of their white male older constituency. There in a tough spot.
Republicans aren't going to get their by continued inbreedeing. They need to figure out how to be more inclusive. If that means alienating the hard core right, that's something they may have to consider. Of course the fact that Romney is the nominee apparent is a strong signal to the wingnuts to sit down and STFU.

I've seen some righties proclaim they'll throw away their vote on fringe candidates, others hate Blacks so much they will vote for multi-millionaire Mittzie (their reason? at least he's white)...
Romney is a brilliant man with no common sense and no street smarts. As the presumptive leader of the GOP, he is doing a very poor job of leading so far. I would say that doesn't indicate a very positive performance as president. How can he rule the country if he can't controll his own party?

He won't "rule the country". Some fringe wingnuts on the right will vote for "any other white man" and the rest will vote Romney reluctantly, but the GOP war on women has cost multimillionaire Mittzie too many votes.
