via WLS “Quotes from Illinois Primary Voters”:
“If a frog was running against Obama, I’d vote for the frog.” - Richard Zellers, 66, retiree from St. Joseph who voted for former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
That pretty much says it all.
“The problem is that Romney is a little too liberal for the Republican base. But thats the only way you can win. Youve got to get the independents. - Norm Jay, 78, from Wheaton who voted for Romney.”
Thinking a ?moderate? Republican can win the General, is a misconception that some people make.
I wish I could ask them how did McCain do in 2008? McCain was the nominee because of the Independent and Dem votes in the early Open primaries, but it didn’t help him win the presidency..
The way you do this is you hold your base and peel off one of the other party's factions.
Currently the YOUTH VOTE is up for grabs. Bammy had it. He blew it. They haven't had employment for the last four years.
They are NOT looking for Leftwingtard solutions, and that's all Romney has to offer.
Romney demonstrated a decided inability to draw in the Republican base.
As in Virginia, they stayed away from the primary. Just didn't go there.
It is entirely possible that Romney is the ONLY Republican candidate who can't actually beat Obama.
Perfect.
