The interesting thing about Romney is his continuing ability to have people dislike him in a apathetic not really caring kind of way. He doesn’t inspire people to love him, nor does he inspire people to hate him. Generally, they’re just… Meh. It’s not Teflon, it’s more like… I don’t know, more like silly putty and newspaper comics. Attacks, his positions, people’s opinions of him, they’re all right on the surface, and easily removed and replaced with another surface impression.

Obama has the opposite problem, people have passion about him, both pro and anti. For whatever reason, and I’m not going to go into why here, The anti Obama crowd has totally lost their shit when it comes to anything Obama. Ultimately that 30% of the population wouldn’t vote for Obama even if the alternative was *insert world war II dictator here*. Now, will they come out and vote for Romney? maybe, but, so far at least, there’s no real drive and zeal for Romney.

The biggest danger for the republicans will be how short are Romney’s coattails? will Republican meh about him depress turn out in the general election as it has with the Republican Primary? If it does, you could see some very surprising results in November.
