Old folks love Medicare. And they want to keep it.
Reuters/Ipsos poll: Romney's bounce from convention is short-lived: Sweet!
Old folks love Medicare. And they want to keep it.
Indeed! A rare acknowledgement of reality creeps in.
Must make it difficult to put on that happy face for Romney ("bankrupt the HI trust fund in 2016") - Ryan ("smash Medicare up into bits and sell them off to Anthem and Aetna"). You have my sympathy.

As expected given the negative and divisive theme of the convention and Romneys inane and pointless speech.

Having seen a lot of Republican Conventions, this is the worst one I've seen since at least 1992.
Good points, all, Greenbeard.
The thing is, Over sixty was the only age demographic McCain won, so older voters do tend to skew Republican...
But I think when more of them realize what the Ryan plan is about, they won't.
Indeed, it's odd that they chose to fire a shot across the bow of their own demographic base. They've put forth a Medicare plan that's unpopular generally but very unpopular among seniors and they've chosen to bring it front and center in their campaign.

People are saying that this latest RNC is quite possibly the worst convention ever. Period!

Well, I understand why they did it.
Because the GOP is currently dominated by the TEA Party, and the notion that Medicare must be cut and privatized is central to their philosophy.
Romney may not be able to win with the TEAbaggers, but he can't possibly win without them in the trenches for him, and he knows it.
Democrats are whistling past the graveyard.
Everything is fine!!! Obama's great!! It'll be a landslide!!

Which people? Democrats and Libertarians?
lol. what a fucking tool bag.
Obama has written off Florida to the GOP already. Romney is thinking of expanding his campaign into "safe" states for the Dems.
Which one is doing better here?

Actually, anyone who observes these things.
Christy's keynote was a flop, Romney's aides are all pointing fingers about who gave the crazy old guy a microphone, you had this embarrassing incident where a camerawoman was racially insulted...
The only saving grace was that viewership was down, so people didn't see what a debacle it was.
PRINCETON, NJ -- Last week's Republican National Convention had a minimal impact on Americans' self-reported voting intentions, with just about as many saying the convention made them less likely to vote for Mitt Romney as say it made them more likely to vote for him.
Romney's acceptance speech this year scored low by comparison to previous convention speeches going back to 1996. Thirty-eight percent of Americans rated the speech as excellent or good, while 16% rated it as poor or terrible. The 38% who rated the speech as excellent or good is the lowest rating of any of the eight speeches Gallup has tested since Bob Dole's GOP acceptance speech in 1996.
Reinforcing this, the 51% of Americans who said they watched "a great deal" or "some" of the convention on TV is the second-lowest for any of the eight conventions Gallup has asked about going back to 1996.
Only the Republican convention in 1996 was viewed on TV by fewer Americans.
The Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. received mediocre television ratings and the polling data so far suggests that it may produce only a modest bounce in the polls for Mitt Romney.
The most favorable number for Mr. Romney is from the Rasmussen Reports tracking poll.
