TPM: Polls show independent voters rejecting Romney

[Proud Liberal Dem]

4. That's the biggest concern I have about Romney

most people probably look at his record as a more "moderate" governor of Massachusetts as more of a guide as to the kind of POTUS he might be and aren't as worried about him being POTUS (and/or see relatively few differences between him and Obama). Of course, anybody paying even a smidgen of attention to the GOP primaries should realize that he's doing some "heavy pandering" to the insane GOP Tea Party "base" and that he would almost certainly have to govern from the far right as POTUS- to keep his "base" supportive" of him for a presumed re-election bid- if he managed to get elected- meaning, basically, supporting all of the things that the GOP Tea-Party-controlled House has proposed and/or passed since 2011. He would probably find himself locked into some pretty far out foreign policy positions as well.
