Romney?s Favorability Is Weakest on Record, Polling Shows, is this why Cons are focusing their lies on Obama?
Mitt Romney is facing a severe crisis of popularity.
He has the weakest favorability ratings on record for a presumptive presidential nominee at this stage of the campaign, according to new polling by ABC News and The Washington Post. The organizations have been measuring such popularity since 1984.
Mr. Romney is in a situation that pollsters call ?underwater?: more people view him negatively than view him positively. His favorable rating is 35 percent, and his unfavorable rating stands at 47 percent.
He was the first nominee to be underwater in the Washington Post/ABC News poll in the eight presidential primary seasons it has been surveying the subject, the poll said. The pollsters attributed the results in part on the Republican primary process, which Americans viewed negatively overall, and on Mr. Romney?s unpopularity among women.

Would You Vote for a High School Bully for President?
hmmm... I was **LEANING*** Romney
more reason to hold off until debates and any etch a sketching before finalizing my decision...

A Washington Post investigation into Mitt Romney?s years at the Cranbrook School in Michigan, which included a disturbing account of Romney bullying a student who later turned out to be gay, earned an unusual apology from the presumptive GOP presidential nominee this morning.
The incident came to light one day after President Barack Obama said he supports same sex marriage, and Romney reiterated his opposition.
?Back in high school, I did some dumb things,? Romney said during a radio interview this morning, reported by the Post. ?And if anyone was hurt by that or offended, obviously I apologize for that. The Post said the call with Brian Kilmeade of Fox News, was hastily arranged by the campaign to respond to the potentially damaging story.
The Washington Post story, by Jason Horowitz, detailed a 1965 incident, witnessed by at least five Cranbrook students, in which Romney, incensed by the dyed blond locks of a fellow student, led what the Post described as a ?posse? of students in a charge against the boy, threw him to the ground and hacked off his hair. ?He can?t look like that,? Romney told a close friend at the time. ?That?s wrong. Just look at him!?
No one was punished for the incident, according to a number of witnesses, who the Post tracked down and interviewed.
The Post also detailed incidents where Romney said ?Atta girl,? in class to a closeted gay student, and deliberately held a door closed while an sight-impaired teacher walked into it.
But it is the story involving John Lauber, described as ?a soft-spoken new student one year behind Romney?walking around the all-boys school with bleached-blond hair that draped over one eye? that may cause problems for Romney. After Romney rounded up some friends, including Matthew Friedmann, who gave his version of the story to the Post, ?they came upon Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly clipped his hair with a pair of scissors.?
Lauber, who died in 2004, was traumatized by the incident, according to a witness who bumped into him years later at a bar in Chicago O?Hare International Airport. ?It was horrible,? Lauber reportedly told David Seed, a witness to the event, who apologized to Lauber for not helping stop it, the Post said.
another incident - wow:
As an underclassman, Romney accompanied Wonnberger and Pierce Getsinger, another student, from the second floor of the main academic building to the library to retrieve a book the two boys needed. According to Getsinger, Romney opened a first set of doors for Wonnberger, but then at the next set, with other students around, he swept his hand forward, bidding the teacher into a closed door. Wonnberger walked right into it and Getsinger said Romney giggled hysterically as the teacher shrugged it off as another of life?s indignities.
?I always enjoyed his pranks,? said Stu White, a popular friend of Romney?s who went on to a career as a public school teacher and has long been bothered by the Lauber incident. ?But I was not the brunt of any of his pranks.?
