6. They are setting up to steal it
Make the claim that the polls are close, it's a dead heat and they are 50 - 50, is the setup to make a GOP plausable enough that it cannot be questioned.
Who are "They" ? This pollster works for Democrats. If he thinks its bad news for Obama this early on, then Obama is 'well and truly screwn'.
7. The Republican base hates RMoney.
He's the BushCo candidate.
The math is easy.
There is an age-old Cliché involving politics and politicians. "Conservatives fall in line, while Liberals fall in love" Most conservatives will find enough appealing about Romney to vote for him, regardless of their opinion of him during the primaries. Even if that only appealing point is that Romney is not Obama. Sure, some fringe folks will vote 3rd party or not vote for president at all, -as is their right- but the majority will vote for 'RMoney' anyway.
And BTW -
All these little anecdotal Romney stories that your side is generating ? All they are doing is helping to push the undecideds toward Romney. Keep it up, please.
