Our take: Despite current polls showing voters think President Obama is more "likable" than Romney, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio thinks those numbers will begin to change soon. John O'Connor, a Tampa-based reporter for StateImpact Florida, a reporting project of local media and NPR, reported from the Republican National Convention Tuesday:
"Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says America will have a different view of Mitt Romney by the time he accepts the Republican nomination for president.
"Rubio will introduce Romney on Thursday, the final night of the Republican National Convention. He may have provided a preview of his speech to a gathering of Florida delegates Tuesday."

I know I could sit down over a beer with President Obama. Romney?
Likeability doesn't win elections - only the Electoral College does.
Something GW Bush taught us.
Meanwhile - as it stands ---
Obama = 332
Romney - 206
270 is required to win.
Hutterite--you could sit down with a beer with Romney too. He won't be drinking beer, but you certainly could.
That is one stark difference between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans trust people to make their own decisions. More..
