There are three explanations for the [Romney] implosion. The first is that the Obama campaign was able to define the Republican candidate before Mitt could introduce himself to voters. Before the conventions, Democrats began running 'The Man from Bain' commercials that explained how Mitt Romney actually made his fortune as a "vulture capitalist." This heightened the perception that Romney's business experience was not the sort needed to help out the middle class; the message was, "Mitt is a job destroyer not a job creator."
The Obama strategy caused the Romney campaign to go on the defensive. Mitt fought one media fire after another: The correct date for his departure from Bain Capital, his role there, his tax returns, and on and on. Then Romney selected congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate. This move could have boosted the campaign but didn't because Mitt was so vague on policy specifics, voters assumed the notorious Ryan Budget represented Romney's thinking.
Next came a string of epic gaffes. Romney went on a European tour and insulted the British security at the 2012 Olympics. On the home front, he claimed, "corporations are people," and noted, "I like to be able to fire people who provide services to me." On September 18, Mother Jones magazine published a tape of a private Romney fundraiser where Mitt observed, "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what... who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them... my job is not to worry about those people."

I disagree. I think his 47% comment will be his undoing. I ask again. What will be Mitt's next gaffe? Or perhaps he will be quiet until the debate on Wednesday night. That would be a good idea.
A spot-on analysis:

Well put! I can understand the frustration from the GOP. They thought they had the perfect candicate and it turns out they have a "gaffe machine." I am surprised that he actually won a Governorship. I expect they are already making plans for 2016.
Democrats hate Romney's popularity and enthusiasm among republicans. The best they can do is claim it doesn't exist.
That republicans don't like Romney is as true as obama's poll numbers.
