Florida is not a blue state. It elects 95% republican.

Florida is not a blue state. It elects 95% republican.

Florida gave Obama the Presidency I would say at best it is purple. Plus it has 50 percent Blue Senators.

The real question is can republicans win the presidency with just the conservative voting base? Are there enough of us out here that we can afford to discount he rest of the population?

Is that really the question? The answer is clear: no.

That’s a logical question in my mind. Conservatives seem to want a 100% pure candidate. I would love nothing better. But if we don’t have the numbers to pull off the win, what good is having the perfect conservative nominee? Obama is destroying the United States of America. I will vote for just about anyone over him. This election in particular should be primarily about the economy.

Why the country needs to be divided North-South Red-Blue, again. The regional political divide is now too large for a political solution, even larger than in 1860. Then it was just one or two issues, now the difference are legion.

"The withdrawal of a State from a league has no revolutionary or insurrectionary characteristic. The government of the State remains unchanged as to all internal affairs. It is only its external or confederate relations that are altered. To term this action of a Sovereign a 'rebellion' is a gross abuse of language."

Jersey, your post explains why the article’s premise is sound.

But it doesn’t show depending on how he combs his hair.

>>>>Your last two posts on this thread are gibberish,I don’t know what you are trying to say.

Because your mind is closed to anything beyond social concerns. Once you hear the magic words to satisfy your needs, your brain turns off. Being socially conservative is not enough. That’s the point you are missing, or dare I say deliberately ignoring.

I notice that you didn’t try to explain his posts, what did post 37 mean for instance.

The perfect conservative nominee will get a lot more votes than a RINO from both conservatives and from "independents." This is just a matter of fact, not conjecture.
