Ex-Newsweek's Fineman: 'Amazing' That 'Weak' Romney 'Only a Few Points Behind Obama'

By Brad Wilmouth | April 04, 2012 | 07:43

A  A

Appearing on a special 11:00 p.m. edition of The Ed Show on MSNBC to discuss the night's presidential primary results, the Huffington Post's Howard Fineman - formerly of Newsweek - acknowledged President Obama's weak position in the polls as he noted that Mitt Romney, despite his weaknesses as a presidential candidate, still manages to come in only a few points behind Obama in the latest Gallup poll.

At about 11:15 p.m., Fineman observed:

I frankly think it's amazing, given how weak a candidate Romney is, that he's only behind by a few points in the Gallup poll and in the national polls. Barack Obama should be way out ahead, given how weak Romney is. what that shows you in the end this is going to be a close election, Ed. I really think so.

There you go, the template is

There you go, the template is set: Romney is a "weak" candidate.  No matter how popular he might become in the future, he will always be a "weak" candidate. 

Apparently, what makes a "strong" candidate is soaring rhetoric and people fainting in one's presence.

Not our Ideal Candidate

Submitted by Free Stinker on Wed, 04/04/2012 - 8:49am.

I just dont trust Romney to repeal ObamAA+doesntCare (PPACA)

However, if SCOTUS overturns that monstrosity, Romney won't be as much of a worry to me. He's still a RINO, but we wont have to worry about him repealing PPACA.

Presidents don't repeal laws, Congress does

Submitted by CobraMan on Wed, 04/04/2012 - 11:28am.

Just how is Romney, if he becomes POTUS, supposed to repeal ObamaCare? Only Congress can repeal a law.

The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States. The US Constitution

Unless you're a fetus. The US Supreme Court

Or Anwar al-Awlaki.
