Mitt Romney Campaign

Republican United States Presidential candidate Mitt Romney is the assumed opponent against incumbent President Barack Obama. Obama has had a powerful reign in the past four years and Romney is bold to challenge. Being a conservative myself, I could see myself as a campaign manager for Romney rather than Obama more easily, and after thorough evaluations on previous elections and the current polling data, I would say Romney does have a fair chance at winning the election, however if I was his advisor a couple things I feel would be very important to give him a chance. After reviewing the elections from 1980 to the most recent election, of John McCain vs. Barack Obama of 2008, a couple things stand out. You have to ask yourself  what groups are consistently and diligently republican voters, which are democratic? Which groups seem to fluctuate the most? I would advise Mr. Romney not to worry about African-American or Jewish voters, they have been dominating liberal over the past thirty years and I do not see any signs of change. To campaign for these groups I feel would be a waste of his time. However, religious organizations, caucasian males, and the wealthy are consistently Republican, and Romney being a Mormon, would probably appeal in these areas, therefore I feel their votes would be cast towards him in general anyway. Now we have those in-between, those that have fluctuated the most over the past thirty years. I would say the elderly, the first time voters, the middle class, those that in general seem to be on the fence, those are who he should campaign. Big cities are obviously out, too much time and too much money and they have always gone democrat, likewise rural areas have always gone republican. However suburbs seem to fluctuate, I would recommend hitting those areas hard, likewise poor people will probably vote democratic, where wealthy most like republican, it's the middle class that I would work towards as well. Basically if I was Romney's advisor I would say don't worry about those you can't obtain like Blacks, Jews, and big cities like New York, likewise religious people, caucasian males, and rural areas always seem to vote republican anyway, he should focus on suburbs, the middle class, women, those who are on the fence and if he does he has a shot at the 2012 presidency
