he just thinks of him as "Not Obama" and that's who he'll be voting for.

That made an impression on me. Too many people won't be swayed by anything other than Not Obama.

The character in the "not Barak Obama 2012" toon looked as much like Richard Nixon as it did Mitt Romney. Even the cartoonist are starting to see how alike they are.

But that was last fall. Due to the various gaffes he's made since then, we've seen Republicans jump ship like they've never done before(I honestly never thought it'd be possible!). There undoubtedly will be some 'not Obama' votes, true. But it is also becoming more and more likely that there will at the very least be right about as many, if not far more, 'anybody but Romney' votes, even if many decide to vote for third-party candidates instead of jumping ship altogether and moving towards our camp.
