So, why is Mitt going to lose?

[Mr. Kotter]

Poll Forthcoming.

Bottom-line for me: Obama hasn't been great, but Mitt is an awful candidate for America in 2012. For what it's worth, he'd have been a fine candidate for the GOP in the 1880s....but this ain't 1880.

290-248....you read it here.

FTR, the odds are 3:1, or 4:1. So, yes, I could end up being wrong...just sayin'.

Please discuss...

Is the money gap that large? Including PACs? I didn't think so...

Anyway, their strategies were a bit different. Obama's money came from over 1,000,000 different donors. Mitt's came from about 12.

If Mitt loses, it will be because the welfare/food stamp/Obamaphone/big gov't/redistribution voters outnumber the common sense voters. The U.S. will become a welfare state.

Your post represents why Mitt is going to lose. Because the base of the R party is made up of ignorant d-bags.

None of the above. He will win.

If Obama wins it's because he got the majority of the votes. So by your logic, that would mean the majority of the voters are on welfare.

And then you call yourself a "common sense voter"



Voters like YOU are Mitt Romney's problem. Your shitty opinions are far more detrimental to the republican party than Romney himself. See, people hear/see stupid shit like what you just posted and think to themselves, "Wow, these are Republicans? Certainly can't have these dumb ****s in office"

1M donors in 128 different countries.

far shorter and simpler than my response.

Problem is, they are far too ignorant to realize it.

Where's the "Because their teachers were incompetent, talentless, overpaid, economically illiterate morons" option?

Romney has several hurdles to overcome in his race against Obama. He is being held back by the Todd Akins and Richard Mourdocks of his own party who make idiotic comments about rape and God's will and women's bodies shutting down in cases of "legitimate" rape. He's being held back by the Michelle Bachmans and the Rick Santorums who are hell-bent to impose their strict moral and religious values on a voting bloc that doesn't share those values. And to some extent he's also being held back by the policy failures of the Bush administration.

Romney has been by no means a perfect candidate. He waited far too long to repudiate the attacks on his personal record, and he didn't hit Obama nearly hard enough on the current Benghazi scandal in the last debate. But the major problem for the Romney candidacy is that he was put in the very difficult position of having to convince the Tea Partiers that he was conservative enough to get the Republican nomination, and now that conservatism (faux that it may be) is unappealing to a large percentage of voters.

Great post

I assume you are making up that number, but then I'm sure it bothered you when Mitt went to Israel to hold a fundraiser.

Teachers are just awful. The worst.

My post was 100% facetious. The absurdity of my statement was self-evident.

Just like the absurdity of your statement should have been as well.

Some more....... It's also the Latinos. It ties back into the issues you mention about not respecting others and coming off as not caring about the fate of others. the demographics are a killer for the republicn party if you don't improve that 70/30 latino vote ratio.

You should have control of the Senate and the Presidency in 2012. The R's blew by going goldwater right. It is not in the best interests of America to have the Republicans be the party of white men and the south minus Florida.

Just throw the tea party out and get off the abortion, birth control and rape discussion and the party will rock and roll again.
