Meanwhile, matched up against Clinton, he is behind--despite the fact that she is polarizing and personally unpopular among voters on the right.
My own view (and one can always be wrong about these things) is that Romney is unelectable. The comparisons to Reagan are frankly silly; Reagan had tons of charisma; Romney has none. The more he talks, the less people like him.
Republicans should be very wary about nominating someone like him. This should be a very winnable election for them, and they really can only lose by nominating a charisma vacuum like Romney.
