I’m confident a significant portion (enough to win) of minorities and young voters can be “fruit to be picked” if the nitwit GOP establishment will at give it a try! The GOP establishment is long been locked in the prison of "conventional wisdom"... (and DAMN sure better break out soon!!!). Many college grads are graduating with mortgage sized student debt, no job prospects and living in mom's basement on dad's insurance. Yet they support Obama 2 to 1???? (Funny "math" indeed).
I suspect much of their support is thin and can be wrestled away. If Romney/GOP can muster half a brain, and will appeal to their obvious sense of unease, grim future prospects... often bordering on helplessness, I firmly believe a sizable percent can be “turned”. The effort to make "Obama cool" uncool can be done with the right strategy and cleverness (clever is in short supply in the “insider GOP”). Success and prosperity must be LOUDY PROCLAIMED as the ultimate COOL! These young DemWits can be brought to fold, but DAMMIT Mitt/GOP ya gotta at least TRY!!!
We have also seen some cracks in minority support as to Obama’s recent support of “Gay” marriage… the appeal must at least be tried as only a coupla percent flip can doom any change of BHO’s re-election. Romney and the GOP establishment need to quit dissing the Tea Party folks and get on board with their “freedom agenda”. Like has been said many times about generals and admirals… the insider GOP are always prepared to fight the last war/election.
Think this election as like a football game between NY Giants and Podunk … Podunk CAN’T win but the Giants CAN LOSE if they make enough "wrong mistakes" (to quote the great sage and philosopher Yogi Berra).
Get with it Mitt/GOP kick liberal BUTT! It can be done!!!
As they proved time after time, Mitt, with no cheating in the electoral process, is at best a 20% candidate.
It really doesn't get better than that for this guy.
“Romney’s Massachusetts based campaign gurus are too inexperienced in dealing with America to be involved in any nationwide election.

What a crock! You, like so many others, need to justify your position that Romney has no chance, doesn’t have the balls to hit back hard, etc. No matter what Romney does - or doesn’t do that he supposedly should have - you will still claim all is lost that could have been and it’s better just to let O do another four years of truly irreversible damage. If your chosen Captain is not at the helm then just let the ship go down. Screw that.
As of now, skewed polls aside, Obama and Co. are not gaining ground even in the face of BLATANT lies about Bain, pensions, healthcare, etc. and O and Co. are currently burning dough at a faster rate than they are bringing in.
In just a little over two weeks the RNC convention will nominate Romney and THEN the real push will start. Right now Romney is allowing O and Co. to shoot off their mouths and provide all that much more fodder to be flung Newtonianly back at them.
That's how you lose elections, and friends, and voters.
Some of it is easily attributed to inferior staff people ~ actually staff people who are literally alien to the way America works.
Face it - you’re screwed. You’re anger will grow and metastasize while those of us will fight even if that means helping elect an imperfect candidate. Four more years of Obama is unsustainable but apparently you and your ilk are willing to let it all go to pot so you can say, “I told you so!” Grow up.
otherwise you are doomed!
Give my profile regards to John Dillinger - d. 1934 - and teenager G. Gordon Liddy - b. 1930.
Always read the profiles.
In my opinion, the OBAMAbots just gave the Romney campaign a devastating weapon to use against him—if they can figure out how to use it.
The ad linking him to the woman’s death is so vile and below the belt that it can be wrapped around Obama’s neck like a stinking fish.
His allure and message to the young was that he was different, a politician with ethics and transparency. This is a chance to forever destroy that manufactured image.
