Two major polls from NBC and ABC show the same thing: Mitt Romney’s favorability has dropped dramatically over the course of the Republican primary. In one poll, among independents, 51% don’t view him favorably while just 23% do. That is mind-blowingly bad. Sarah Palin bad. Dan Quayle bad. Jack the Ripper bad. So in the end, it doesn’t matter who is the nominee of the Republican Party anymore. Whether it is Romney or Gingrich, both are going to lose, and probably lose big, to President Obama.

Two polls yesterday indicated two things: 1) that the Democrats are heading for a takeover in the House, and 2) Romney now has toxic favorability numbers that make him, and Gingrich, unelectable in the general. Meanwhile, President Obama has a 53% favorability rating.

From the files of “What Could Go Wrong:” Romney’s new debate coach is Brett O’Donnell, who had been working as a strategist for Michele Bachmann. Gingrich has raised $2 million since South Carolina. Which was only this past weekend, but for some reason feels like a lifetime ago now.

Gabby Giffords Last Night

She is resigning this week from Congress, so this is perhaps the last time we will see her at a State of the Union. She says she will return after she focuses on her recovery, but you never know. Knowing that, these scenes were very emotional:

I enjoyed the multiple digs at Romney, whom the White House clearly thinks will still be the GOP nominee this fall. But the way he wrapped tax fairness as patriotic (and it really is, because the selfish greed of the 1% is not in any way patriotic), for the first time making the Democratic case that if you give tax cuts to the wealthy you have to take away a hell of a lot from everyone else, was brilliant.
