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...

I think the gender gap is reason A-1 why the Republican Party is going to lose in 2012.

I think the shifting demographics in this country is why the Republican Party is going to lose in 2016 and beyond.

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.

Oustanding post.

They caused the budget deficit. Got us into the Iraq war and got most of those tax cuts for the wealthy.

I checked both "stupid voters" and "the gender gap" ... now the question is.. why did you include what is basically the same answer twice?

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.

Eh...pretty much, yeah.

As a tea party activist, pro life, conservative Latino, your post just reads:

If this is an indicator of what you "know," it explains how you come off as another Tea Party douche.

The truth is, it is because the Tea Party is like nothing you claim it to be. It sucks you teach students as the bitter person that you are. Oh and so intolerant to boot.
