I wonder how this ideal “pro growth” candidate would get his “pro growth” message to the electorate? Through the media? Riiiight. And what percentage of the electorate would even understand the concept of growth based economics? For this article to be accurate, the media would be neutral and informative and the electorate intelligent. Good luck with that.
The election was lost because single females were not pro growth. They wanted their birth control pills so a baby wouldn’t grow.

Very well stated.
Remember, “it’s the economy, stupid!” ??
That don’ work no mo’.
When close to 50% (or even slightly over) no longer need to be part of the “working person’s economy” to exist, what difference does “the economy” make to them, even if they could understand?
To them, the economy is EBT, Section 8, and free cell phones.
This election was about something far more important than the economy.
The Republicans failed to perceive this, refused to address it — and lost.
I predict that they will continue to lose if they don’t wake up and get with it.
Particularly in 2014...
