Would we have had a mid-western son of a milk truck driver (Pawlenty) as our nominee has she not surged up until Ames Straw poll?
I am trying to trace down to the seed that germinated into re-electing Obama. That is the closest I have come. During this cycle, a more modestly wealthy mid-western governor of a Blue state may just have been the ticket.
Thoughts?
I think that’s a stretch.
Oh my god.. WE LOST BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE OF THEM THAN US. Stop blaming individual people.
Whoever would have been nominated would have been subject to the same negative ad assault. The fact that Pawlenty meekly dropped out in response to Bachmann’s slings shows that he would not have been able to survive the Chicago machine’s negative assault.
Face forward and get on with it.
No, we didn’t lose because of that. Obama lost 9 million votes from 08 total. We lost for other reasons - but no, Pawlenty would have run a worse campaign than Mitt, so he is not the answer.
Vain in deed. Craziest thing I’ve heard here. Ridiculous. Do you stay up at night dreaming this stuff up?
No.
I think it’s more that the GOP allows open primaries. How in the world can the GOP select a candidate when non-GOP people are voting in RINO’s to make it easier for the dems to win later down the road.
Romney was miles Better than pawlenty. He is awful. At the very least awfully boring.
If Michele Bachamann had been the nominee instead of a radical liberal like Romney, then we would have beat Obama. Michele Bachmann was the only one who told the truth about Obama. We COULD have gotten rid of Obamacare with Michele Bachmann but voters are STUPID.
Yeah, “T-Paw” was the answer. /s
No we lost because 3 million of us stayed home.
Then there are the ones that voted third party..
There is the problem identified. There are not more of them than there are of us. They simply got more of their group to the polls (living/voting twice/dead vote) than we did.
Oh my god.. WE LOST BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE OF THEM THAN US. Stop blaming individual people.
“If Michele Bachamann had been the nominee instead of a radical liberal like Romney, then we would have beat Obama. Michele Bachmann was the only one who told the truth about Obama. We COULD have gotten rid of Obamacare with Michele Bachmann but voters are STUPID.”
No, she’d be bogged down, Akin-style, over stupid comments such as Gardasil.
Oh, for Pete’s sake.........”WE” lost because parasites, socialists and braindead Rat voters outnumber thinking self-responsible Americans. The next four Obama years will be focused on increasing the number of parasites to further build the Rat base.
“No Bachmann’s not the reason. The real reason is the POS “Patriots” who stayed home to protest Romney. Thank you A$$holes!”
Maybe they really wanted their free obamaphones but didn’t want to come out and admit it.
Another stupid vanity.
Sheeeesh.
I think Calvin Coolidge is to blame.
