Morris said 57% likely to vote against Obama. <br /><br />Harry J. Enten, of the Guardian, echoes {another sentiment}, "The conventional wisdom says that unless Romney makes up this gap among women and Latino voters, he's going to lose the election. I disagree. 2010 election showed little change in minorities' high level of support of Democrats. Instead the landslide reflects cornering the market in the white vote; instead of winning by only 4 points, they won by 23 points. <br /><br />As Leighrow stated, Why do people ,,, accuse Romney as having a cloud of distrust and give Obama a free pass? If Romney represents a cloud of distrust, then Obama's economic plan is the Blackhole of Doom!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-25849579831803389192012-04-17T07:24:20.131-04:002012-04-17T07:24:20.131-04:00Here ye, here ye!
