Apparently the "missing" base of Romney

Is self-loathers.

Dallas Morning News: "For all the talk about whether Mitt Romney should distance himself from George W. Bush -- and the policies of the last GOP White House -- a new survey shows that the former president actually has better favorability ratings than the Republican nominee."

The most recent Bloomberg poll shows Bush with a 46% to 49% favorable rating as compared to Romney's 43% to 50%.

Bush's "favorability" rating undoubtedly went higher the moment he was no longer "the decider".
