At a fundraiser, John Boehner said out loud what everyone knows about this election. Almost nobody is voting for Mitt Romney.
The options are, vote for President Obama, vote against President Obama, write-in Jesus or stay home.
But almost nobody is voting for Mitt Romney.
(CBS News) When House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, endorsed Mitt Romney for president in April, he pledged to do "everything I can to help him win."
In his words, however, the one thing he can't do is make voters "fall in love" with the candidate.
Speaking last week at a fundraiser in Wheeling, W.Va., Boehner was surprisingly candid in his characterization of Romney's candidacy when asked, in a question-and-answer session: "Can you make me love Mitt Romney?"
"No," he answered, as first reported by Roll Call. "Listen, we're just politicians. I wasn't elected to play God. The American people probably aren't going to fall in love with Mitt Romney."
He added that the presumptive Republican nominee had "some friends, relatives, and fellow Mormons... some people that are going to vote for him," but suggested that at the end of the day, Republicans would be voting against President Obama rather than for Romney....
Calling Romney a "solid guy," Boehner went on to say that the former Massachusetts governor is "going to do a great job, even if you don't fall in love with him."

I recommend that the Romney campaign reach out to Bonnie Raitt to adopt "I Can't Make You Love Me" as their theme song.

Just hold me close
Don't patronize
Because I can't make you love me
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't
Even Mitt Romney endorses the job trend under this President:
The current Mitt doesn't like that Mitt, so even Mitt doesn't like Mitt.
