Morris doesn't even claim that. He says his mistake was second guessing pollsters models for minority turnout. Basically, he says he underestimated how many blacks, Hispanics, single women, etc, would show up at the polls.

Yep, that's true because with what we thought, Mitt had momentum and Obama voters did not. But the FACT still remains enough conservatives did not vote because they said they would not back Romney when he was first nominated.

Only the conservative echo chamber that was foolishly claiming all the polls were skewed thought otherwise.

You are correct only because nobody realized conservatives wouldn't vote for a LOSER rino to beat Obama! ...And I meant the "majority" of republican's. Should have clarified this.

This "FACT" is from where? A couple hundred FR posters?

There were about 6%, or more than 200,000, MORE votes for Romney in Texas than there were for McCain. So where is the evidence that anyone stayed home?

Oh stop it. Sounds like you are burying your head in the sand. Romney ended up running a pretty decent campaign and he become a fairly solid candidate. The truth is demographics are changing so rapidly that Ronald Reagan might not have been able to win today. We have more and more minorities voting Democratic in such massive numbers it is getting near impossible to overcome in a national election.

We are going to have to tailor our message increasingly to appeal to Hispanics, Asians, etc. I hate identity politics, but it works. We are going to have to do it going forward.

The conservative movement is going to have to completely separate itself from the Tom Tancredo's of the world. We don't have to be for amnesty and freebies, but we are going to have to change how we talk about these issues so we don't alienate the fastest growing demographics in the country.
