Romney will get the GOP base. Don't worry about that. Just like Obama will get his Democrat base. Yes, there's a few loudmouths that stamp their feet and vow not to vote for Romney because he's not a pure conservative but the majority of conservatives will pull the lever for Romney because unlike in say 1992, there is no credible third party alternative and they sure aren't going to vote for Obama.

So people can preen and strut about this board stating that they aren't going to vote for Romney no way no how and I say let them be loud and proud about it. But the majority of these folks are going to quietly pull the lever for Romney once they get behind that curtain. That's okay, they don't have to admit it here.

The fight is always for the squishy middle - about 15-20% of the vote and in presidential contests, the fight comes down to a handful of battleground states like Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Iowa and a few others. The results in 35-40 of our states are pretty much determined already.

Agreed... Additionally, I always wonder WHY IS THERE EVER A “MIDDLE??”

When one thinks about the vast philosophical differences between Obama and Ryan/Romney, I just don’t get why there are people that are “undecided.”

Don’t these middle voters have core values that would place them clearly in either/or camp, but not the middle. They must not be paying attention.

And, No, I don’t buy the hogwash that Romney = Obama. Look at the stellar VP pick he chose who is NOT a RINO!
