I don’t think Romney stands much of a chance in a general election. These observations come from some social time with those I work letting juniors express themselves freely plus trips to the Pan handle and Tampa.
One is those I associate with vary in age and background. One thing they have in common is an almost pathological Pavlovian distrust for businessman running a war bases on charts, etc. This is experience from the current VP and previous SecDef plus historical.
The other thing that seriously upsets these folks is Romney’s serious anti-gun bias and his inability to even BS about due his lack of knowledge.
The attitude is that while McCain is bad we may as well go whole hog and really screw things up with one of the Democrats.
I personally believe that the Republican “elite” while really disliking McCain (and with good reason) do not understand the vehemence that Romney engenders due to these two issues, at least among the majority of those I associate with.
