Yeah, in the end I just don't see the Republican base being mobilized to vote FOR Romney. Just as the Democratic base had no interest in voting FOR John Kerry. It really at this point seems like the closeness of the poll numbers is on the strength of "anyone but Obama", but by the time November comes around, I think there will be a lot of, "Okay, maybe not anyone."
