Yeah, when your own party is having a tough time getting all that enthused about you, there's a problem. Most times when I see any GOP members or supporters on TV talking about Romney they're always giving weird backhanded compliments or they're using the most vague reasoning imaginable to explain why he's worthy of support or whatever.
Plus, he's just horribly out of touch with people. Given how much of the country is struggling, he'd need to come up with a really good jobs/business plan that would make your average working class person think, "Hey, I think this guy could actually help us out." But instead we've got a guy who talks about how he knows people who are owners of things the common man likes, who thinks that if people want to go to college it's as easy as asking your parents for money, that sort of thing...he doesn't really get what most people are going through right now economically. And his business plans just seem to continue to favor himself and his rich buddies so far. So how that's going to endear him to your average voter, I don't know.
As for the wars, I certainly agree it would be good for Romney (as well as Obama, when the Democratic convention comes along) to discuss them in his platform. But I also know that the way the GOP often frames the debate on war doesn't exactly help matters. They should talk about it, yes. But they won't, and if they do bring it up, it won't be in a way that will be inspiring.
