With this new ad, I think Romney will lose any Hispanic vote he may have gotten against Obama

[jenmito]

if he ends up being the Repub. nominee. It's called, "Thank You Governor Perry": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qENAbpMM0A

1. Whoah something I agree with Perry on

:silly:

But that will hurt him with Republicans.

[jenmito]

2. It is hurting him greatly with Repubs. Romney is back in the lead now in

the latest Faux poll, and the main reason is supposedly because of his terrible debate performance and his calling people "heartless" for not agreeing the children of the undocumented workers should get an education.

[Douglas Carpenter]

3. so Romney has to run his campaign on the theme "Rick Perry is too liberal" in order to convince

the GOP base to accept him

[jenmito]

5. Yup. But it's not making Romney more acceptable. It's just making Perry LESS acceptable.

It's a win-win for us.

[asjr]

7. I guess Perry is just not mean enough for

some Republicans.

[tblue]

4. I sure hope you are right.

Romney is the panderingest critter on the planet! Flip flop flip flop....

[jenmito]

6. We can use that ad against him no matter WHAT he says later. n/t

[Retrograde]

8. Which Hispanics?

The Cuban immigrants and their children in southern Florida? People from Puerto Rico living in the Northeast who are US citizens by birth? Recent immigrants from Central America? Spanish-surnamed people in the Southwest whose families were here long before there was a United States? They don't all think and vote alike.

[jenmito]

9. Any of them who don't like Romney's stance on "illegal immigrants." n/t

[yardwork]

10. +1

[Autumn]

14. I've talked to Hispanics in New Mexico

they want the Illegals gone. Democrats along with the republicans. An anti immigration plan isn't going to bother them, some of the people I know voted for the new Governor, a puke because of her anti illegals stance.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

18. Yeah, NM is a little different.

I think it's because almost all Hispanics here have either been her for centuries or arrived during and shortly before the Mexican Revolution of 1910. We have relatively small recent immigration.

[ellisonz]

11. Please Please Let it be Romney.

The GOP vote won't turn out for him like Perry or Yet-To-Be-Named.

[alp227]

16. what about the independents? n/t

[ellisonz]

17. As Rachel Maddow once said: Mitt Romney is bad with people.

I don't trust the polling at this point.

I think that if you put Romney and Obama head to head - Obama will destroy Romney. Perry will at least be able to hang on to the South. Independents has always been a nebulous polling category. Everyone wants to say they're independent - a majority really aren't.

[alp227]

19. I dare him to say "corporation are people, my friend" at a campaign event

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2h8ujX6T0A

That didnt work well with repubs in iowa, so why with indies?

[golfguru]

12. That ad may not matter if he picks Rubio on the ticket as VP n/m

[KeyserSoze87]

13. Romney is moving further and further to the right by the day.

Pretty soon, he'll be more conservative than Perry.

[Major Hogwash]

15. Most Hispanics are not Mormon, so Romney has only a little appeal to them.

But, his policies are all opposite of what they generally support, so he may as well have called them "brainwashed" like Cain said of Black voters on Tuesday.
Neither group is going to support Romney at all.
Even though the MSM wants him, not Perry, as the nominee.
