Here's my feel on Romney and the Pubs. Right now 3/4 of Pubs say "no way I vote for that flip-floppin rino mormon"

After the primary... it's "Well he's our guy now... the socialist Kenyan's gotta go!"

So right now the polls are skewed BECAUSE of the "undecided or Other" option. EVERYONE who is going to vote for Obama KNOWS it today. The undecided's are Pubs that hate Romney or Gingrich or Santorum or Bachmann. They WILL unify behind the party Pub nominee no matter who it is... ESPECIALLY if its someone as milquetoast as Willard.

This election will be more like 2000-2004 with tight contests and the election hanging on 2-3 states.
