So, it really doesn't matter how unlikeable the man is, or how unsympathetic to the plight of the ordinary American he is, or how he hides his finances, or how bumbling he was on the world stage, or how he's never specific about anything he'd do if elected, or how much he lies and flip-flops, or his religious background, or his lack-luster experience as a governor, or that he's the God-Father of Obamacare, or that he made millions of dollars from outsourcing good American jobs, or has profited from investing in a company that disposes of aborted fetuses, or how he's pandering to the religious right and the bigots, or how he's advocating a tax plan that would make rich people like himself even richer and the expense of working people, or that he wants to turn Medicare into a voucher plan and render it insolvent by 2016, or that his entire "We Built That" campaign slogan is built on nothing more than a colossal lie, or that he's advocating for a war against Iran, or that, or how he's hostile to the advances made by women, or his dependence on the restriction of basic and hard fought voting rights in order to get elected, or how he's adopted Ryan's budget that stands to gut Medicaid, or how his own budget proposal has been described by independent and non-partisan analysis as a sure-fire plan to grossly increase the size of the deficit and cost taxpayers billions, or how he's in the pocket of big oil, big casinos and big weapons contractors, or how his foreign policy is a rehash of the neocon hacks that lied us into one war and still has this country embroiled in another that's the longest war in US history, or that he thinks that the Afghan war is not long enough, or a million other things
None of that matters at all.
The ONLY thing that does matter to the haters is that he's not Obama.
Yeah, they all know that anything is better than Obama, Romney might as well be nothing more than an animated ham and American cheese on Wonder Bread.

Which is why the downslate races are so very important, too.
