There are a lot of reasons why people hate Romney. He is not energetic. He flip flops. He supported the individual mandate, etc. None of those reasons matter much and are irrelevant. The fact is that Romney has a catastrophic flaw in his background that will ensure he loses. it has gotten virtually no attention in the GOP Primary, but it will get TONS of attention in the general election.

So what did Romney do? He laid off thousands of people to enrich himself and his cronies. Back when Romney was running against Ted Kennedy in 1994, he was ahead of Kennedy. But that changed after Kenendy brought up Romney's layoffs when he was at Bain Capital. 2012 will be a re-peat of 1994.
