3. Romney , imho, only polls well because of buyers remorse

Nov 2014

Voters are wrongly, imho, dissatisfied with their 012 presidential vote and are telling pollsters they will vote for Romney as a way of displaying their dissatisfaction.

Bush is for real but if it becomes a referendum on the Bush years versus the Clinton years my money is is on the proposition that a plurality or majority of folks rather return to the Clinton years. I know going back is impossible but that's how the election will be framed.
