Summary of state processNothing Peachy About Romney’s Debate Reviews, Poll Numbers
Smooth talking Mitt Romney may be in the Peach State today, but things are less than peachy for the Republican’s presidential candidate’s campaign. Despite spending millions of dollars on a national advertising campaign, Romney is still stuck in the single digits in almost every national poll. Worse still, the Romney campaign is reeling after a barrage of reviews panning his performance in this week’s Republican presidential debate. After outside critics said Romney’s slickness “wears thin pretty quickly” and noted that tough questions on security issues “seemed to throw him off,” one of Romney’s own campaign advisors admitted that their candidate “didn’t do as well as he wanted to.”Gingrich Has Worn Out His Welcome in Georgia
