Even in the South, Giuliani is performing in a tier above the other first-tier candidates, while Romney is polling a tier below the other first tier candidates. Romneybots will argue that this is due to name ID, but Gallup polling consistently indicates that Thompson’s name ID is lower than Romney’s but his performance in polling is (often substantially) higher. This is yet more evidence that Romney’s electability problem is real. [...] [...] Second, these numbers show some important differences.

Hillary Clinton has high negatives, but they’re little when compared to Mitt Romney. (Hat tip to Andrew Sullivan). 1 in 4 Republicans say they would definitely vote against Mitt Romney at this point. Those numbers are simply astonishing. If Karl Rove is right about Hillary Clinton, the same has to apply to Mitt Romney at this point. And it’s based on a mixed record that Romney keeps trying to gloss over, which in turn only enhances the flip flop reputation. I have to wonder if Romney simply peaked too early.

I'd probably vote for a 3rd party or stay home altogether. But then again I live in Massachusetts and considering how much damage Romney inflicted on the Republican party, my vote wouldn't matter even less to the electoral outcome.
