“I voted for Obama last time although he got to be all things to all people then,” Affleck said in an interview to promote his new film “Argo.” “And now he’s got a record which makes it really different … I obviously have more complicated feelings.”
Affleck says Romney’s inability to connect with everyday Americans is reminiscent of past failed candidates.
“I think Republicans really had a chance to win,” Affleck said. “And they kind of ended up with like a sort of Mike Dukakis, Al Gore, Bob Dole type – who just couldn’t get people to see him as a real person somehow. Romney just had such trouble coming off as just like the kind of person you see at the grocery store. And I truly believe that has cost him the election.”

Beyond the Obama administration and whoever the next – the Clinton administration – whoever gets elected next. That’s my main concern.”
