Poor Mitt. Obama up 14 point lead in Mitt's Michigan.

Will Mitt win any state he's associated with? He's trailing in Massachusetts, where he was supposedly governor, but I'm not sure if that's been proven yet. He's trailing in New Hampshire, where he has a home and is supposedly a favored son. And he's trailing in Michigan, where he was supposedly born.

Outside Utah, where he once lived, he's losing every single state that knows him best.

Red flags, anyone?

1. Wonder how Mitts doing in the Gran Caymans ??

[Wait Wut]

2. It does gotta sting.

Well, it would for a real human that experienced emotions.

Let's just encourage Mitt to visit all the swing states often. Make sure he gets out and really "bonds" with people one-on-one...in front of the media.

3. Hooray from Paris, MI

Obama's not likely to take my district here (R-Dave Camp), but I know that there are many Obama supporters in the area.

Western MI is heavily Rep but SE MI is very heavily in Obama's favor.

If turnout is high, Obama is going to mop the floor with Rmoney.

4. That's all?

I would like to think it would be a bigger margin in a state where Mitt came out and said that their biggest industry should be left to fail, costing hundreds of thousands of Michiganders their jobs. But, I'm not complaining. Glad to see it's in the double-digit range.

5. What Counts is Massachusetts - Obama Up 25

I think that will really make people stop and think... MA citizens clearly think he did a terrible job, except on Romney Care.

6. That's a pretty stunning number.

I bet it gets bigger before this is all over.

9. Deval Patrick would have crushed Romney in 2006, had he run for a second term.

12. 25 pts? Are these PPP numbers? And do you know how Elizabeth Warren is doing?

17. No. A local Suffolk/7News poll...

18. Thanks for the link DI. I saw some other interesting things there. I cannot understand why.....

Elizabeth Warren, being a "progressive" wetdream, is doing so poorly while the President is running away with this thing in MA. With the president's 25 pt lead, Scott Brown shouldn't even be competitive. What is the problem?

7. I'm happy to hear that Michigan is becoming solid Obama

As I will enjoy not having to listen to non-stop campaign commercials. In 2004 with Bush it was unbearable.

8. Very telling, the states that know him the best don't want him.

He can't lose Utah, the state has always voted Republican and Romney is Mormon.

[MichiganVote]

10. Romney is a DeVos clone. Don't want either.

Too much money, too little conscience.

[DCBob]

11. Wow.

And to think some were worried that Mittens could win his "home" state.

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. I keep hearing the pundits on NPR say that the president has several paths to 270, while Mitt's....

path is quite narrow. Sure hope they're right. Thanks for sharing this.

[DCBob]

14. I think it comes down to this.

Romney has to pretty much run the table on the battleground states while Obama just needs to win the traditional blue and light blue states and one or two battlgrounders.

[Tarheel_Dem]

15. +1

[cheezmaka]

16. Pretty much a NO BRAINER

Obama: Bailout SAVES the auto industry. Romney: "Let Detroit go Bankrupt..."
Go figure!!!

Apparently these folks aren't all that impressed by Romney's Business experience.

..kind of blows Mitt's "Bain Capital" argument right out of the water, doesn't it?

Not only can Alan Greenspan say he's found a flaw in his philosophy, but Mitt Romney can too.
