If Mitt Rom­ney is the nom­i­nee every­thing changes for the worse for him

Mitt Rom­ney will still have an orga­ni­za­tion, but instead of being vastly supe­rior it will be infe­rior to Obama.

He will still have the GOP party appa­ra­tus behind him, but he’ll not only face an oppo­nent with the party appa­ra­tus unlike in Iowa and Maine that party won’t be in a posi­tion to make “judge­ment calls” on cau­cus counts or re-​counts.

It means he will have to deal, for the first time, the MSM hit­ting him as “extrem­ist” his reli­gion will be hit as “extreme” and he will have the full “Racist, sex­ist, homo­phobe” meme thrown both at him and at his Mor­mon reli­gion and the MSM will do it with­out fear or worry.

And it goes with­out say­ing Mitt Rom­ney won’t have the abil­ity to out­spend Obama, in fact every indi­ca­tion is he will be out­spent by Obama.

Thomas Sow­ell:

Rom­ney has out­spent each of his rivals — and all of his rivals put together. His cam­paign orga­ni­za­tion has been oper­at­ing for years, and it has put his name on the bal­lot every­where, while nei­ther San­to­rum nor Gin­grich had a big enough orga­ni­za­tion to get on the bal­lot in an impor­tant state like Virginia.

In the gen­eral elec­tion, Pres­i­dent Obama will have all the advan­tages against Rom­ney that Rom­ney cur­rently has against his Repub­li­can rivals. Barack Obama will have boots on the ground every­where — not just mem­bers of the Demo­c­ra­tic Party orga­ni­za­tion but thou­sands of labor union mem­bers as well.

All indi­ca­tions are Mitt will win Illi­nois big (Stacy McCain’s post today is the clear­est sign on it). He will rightly get con­grat­u­la­tions for doing so, what he will be doing in the fall when he can’t out­spend Obama 7 – 1 in a state and 21 – 1 in a media mar­ket with the MSM in full attack mode against him, that remains to be seen.

If Mitt wins the nom­i­na­tion I’ll be with him, but as long as Rick San­to­rum is in this race, I’ll stick with Rick San­to­rum as the best choice not only for the coun­try but as the bet­ter choice to face pres­i­dent Obama and his friends in the MSM this fall.
