Romney, Santorum Stir Less Enthusiasm Than McCain Did

[sailingaway]

Mind you, they aren't even asking about Ron....

PRINCETON, NJ -- A little more than one-third of Republicans say they would vote "enthusiastically" for either Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum if either candidate were to win their party's nomination for president. Slightly fewer say they would vote enthusiastically for Newt Gingrich. This level of enthusiasm is similar to Republicans' feelings about voting for Romney in early 2008, but lower than the enthusiasm level for that year's eventual GOP nominee, John McCain.

Wow. Less enthusiasm than McCain? Looks like the GOP has a long 4 years ahead.

You know AF, you were the brainchild of NOBP. Pretty funny how a post on an internet message board can become a meaningful, nationwide slogan, huh?

Enthusiasm had to be drugged and bound before it could be put into the same sentence as Romney
...John McCain... John McCain... now where do I know that name from.. oh yeah, didn't he lose something important to someone a few years back?
Man if this crop isn't doing even as well as he did

I think the poster above me has this nailed.

If Ron doesn't lead the ticket, who will be the Sarah Palin of 2012?

I don't know about the Palin dynamic this year. But I bet Mitt will pick a Christie or a Rubio, thinking that he is firing up "the base", but he will misfire and lose big time. Without Ron Paul, the GOP can't win.
