My new meme.
I fundamentally approve this message.
The GOP is handing the election to Obama also.

Romney was intentionally put there to be a fall-guy. In order to preserve the agenda of the establishment/elite.

Anyone but Obama now means Ron Paul.
Karl Rove gave an analysis of the electoral college outlook in a Romney/Obama matchup.
Results here.
Romney is going to be another Bob Dole or John McCain, and those who support him are no longer following the 'anyone but Obama' narrative.
Combine this fact with the 20 second Fox News clip stating that Ron Paul has enough delegates to have his name placed on the ballot in Tampa (the one currently being censored by youtube) and let rank-and-file Republicans know.
If they really are 'nobody but Obama' thinkers this will hit them very hard.

Obama will crush Willard. The media can devastate Romney so quickly with all his gaffes and inability to articulate his wealth, which you know the media and particularly the left will exploit to the enth degree. Plus, Romney's "likability" factor is in the tank.

But will Rush Limbaugh renew his 2008 vows to "not carry the water for the GOP" the day after Romney gets his ass handed to him?

I honestly don't think they care that much. They'll just be semi-frustrated sheep. They'll go back to work on Wednesday and put more thought into the office football pool than the 2012 election.

I just don't understand this line of thinking. McCain in the worst electoral cycle in decades got 46% of the vote. That is almost certainly the base that Mitt has, and since Obama is not the super star candidate he was in 2008 (nor is Bush hanging over the head of the Republicans as much as he was) it will certainly be a close race baring some unexpected development.
The electoral map isn't *that* bad for Romney either. He has all the states McCain won in 2008, plus Indiana and almost certainly North Carolina. He'll win either Ohio or Florida depending on which VP he takes, and from there is it an old fashioned horse race.

Nah, Obama would destroy him as soon as he's exposed by the media. Romney's too out of touch, and there's absolutely no level of enthusiasm for him.
What is that based on? Much of Romney's past has already been exposed, and it hasn't turned people off of him. Yes, Bain will be dragged through the mud again but it didn't kill Romney the first time and statistics have long shown that personal insults are less effective each time they are used. As for enthusiasm, he'll have more than McCain had because he isn't running in such an anti-Republican year.
This is on a different topic, but how would you guys spread the idea of electability anyways? Using ads would be particularly ineffective, after all...

Romney's support is not broad enough to carry him through the general election. Whether close or by a landslide, he will lose. The only chance for a Republican being elected is with Ron Paul, who draws in Independents and disgruntled Democrats. That ability is key in the swing states, which are where the real battles will be in November.
Remember that in November it's about winning states and not the popular vote. Bush was elected in 2000 even though he lost by over 500,000 in the popular vote.

Romney does not garner the disenfranchised Obama supporters. To put it bluntly.
Look at his face and his cheesy smile. The man was born to fail. Every time his team slips up and allows him to venture into an unscripted interview, he says something stupid. It's gonna be hard for Romney to debate Obama with out Dr. Paul there. In the Republican debates, his "go to" answer was, "I agree with Ron Paul".
