2012 RNC: Romney Campaign Tries To Lower Expectations For Convention 'Bump'

By Sam Youngman

ABOARD MITT ROMNEY'S CAMPAIGN PLANE, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's campaign tried on Tuesday to play down talk that he will receive the kind of significant bump in the polls that candidates traditionally enjoy after their party convention.

"I just think all bets are off about any kind of past performance being a predictor of the future," senior adviser Stuart Stevens told reporters on Romney's campaign plane headed for Tampa, Florida.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll on Monday showed that Romney has work to do.

Obama far outstripped Romney on who is more eloquent by 51 percent to 21 percent. Obama also gets higher likability numbers, by 54 percent to 26 percent.


I found it even funnier that the article cited that most of Americans felt the economy was on the wrong track, but didn't quote from the same poll that Obama got better ratings on creating jobs than Romney did.

Boring people, boring convention and the attempt to make Romney look human will be one big fail.
