Why Mitt Romney is losing

New York (CNN) -- Mitt Romney spent weeks battling Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich for the Republican presidential nomination, and he faced blistering attacks from Rick Perry and other GOP rivals along the way. And now he is paying the price.

CNN Poll: Obama holds 7-point lead over Romney

Romney's failure to surpass Barack Obama this summer stems in no small part from his reluctance to make any bold moves on policy, and this reluctance is a direct product of the beating he's taken from conservative critics for much of the last year.

The basic rap on Romney -- who represented, let us not forget, the conservative alternative to John McCain during the 2008 race for the Republican presidential nomination -- was that he wasn't sufficiently conservative. To reassure conservative primary voters, Romney embraced positions on a wide range of issues, from immigration to taxes, that are more popular among reliable Republicans than among swing voters.

Still a few months to go, but I do think Obama can just shut down his campaign since Romney is unelectable, right?

I think Romney should just do what Obama does. Offer to give $1000 to everyone who votes for him. Forget the budget, forget any hard decisions...just pander.

got a source for that claim that Obama is giving $1000 to everyone who votes for him?
:Whistle

Still have the conventions and the debates to change minds. So far most of what Americans know about Romney are hit pieces written by liberal media minds.

And Mitt was the most liberal of the choices in the GOP primary.

It is not titled "Mitt Romney is losing." The article is titled "Why Mitt Romney is losing."

Not the $$ amount, just the pandering. Obama is promising things our budget and economy can't back up. He won't be honest about what his policies do to the budget. He has no intention of addressing our SERIOUS financial situation, other than trying to demonize the rich.

Another worthless poll.

They're only GOOD polls if they support your beliefs.

Romney is "losing" in polls because Obama completely ignores his record, and attacks, attacks, attacks. I have yet to hear one ad trumpeting all the success improving our country over the last 3+ yrs. The chicago way. None of the libs here are even talking about all his success, and why we want to have another 4 yrs of this fabulous Obama economy. They too attack, attack, attack.
