For the last 6 years, everyone talks about how the Democrats have a Ground Game, and GOTV Machine, that far surpasses anything the GOP has. Why has the GOP not come up with a way to at least be as good as the 'Rats at this game? Do they not have anybody who is "high tech" and smart? GEESH!!!

Democrats have 35 of these field offices across the state; Republicans have only 13.

Well, I guess it all boils down to who wants the victory the most. And, it looks like the ‘Rats want it almost 3 times more than the Pubbies want it in Iowa; and probably everywhere else. JUST DAMN!

It would be great to hear about a “machine” on our side as opposed to constantly whining about theirs and voter fraud.

Can I ask a stupid question?

We are told there’s a war on women and all that.

How do the liberals reconcile their war on women with supporting a MAN over a woman in Iowa???

If they are in favor of women’s empowerment, and women in politics and all that, how do they explain this? They are supporting a man against a woman candidate for high office.

IF there is really a war on women, and they are dedicated to electing women to office, wouldn’t that override partisan politics? Shouldn’t they be happy to see yet another woman be elected to the Senate????

Iraq did have WMD. Even the NYTimes finally admits it.

Democrats are interested in winning. Conservatives, it’s hard to say what we are interested in, but winning is not very high up on our list.

Tell you what: give the GOPe the same technology/ground game presence as the RATS and they’ll still snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. You have to have a message, not an edict from that jerk Rove to avoid offending anyone.

Want is 3X more? C’mon, that’s not even logical. It’s called cash.

Yes, it all comes down to money, and we can’t compete with the new rich, which is the well connected Soros Union government crony rich.

The GOP GOTV did just fine in 2010.

Mid terms are one thing. Prez elections something totally different.

Conservatives are interested in winning. Its the Republican party who choose to loose by standing for nothing.

She is a conservative who is running as a Republican, but how many GOP elitists believe the same things she does?

IMO they have probably been dumb enough to farm this out to Silicon Valley firms where the management and staff are intrinsically Liberals, and they keep getting sabotaged.

“Ground Game” = vote fraud.

All those people sitting at home pouting are a powerful force for victory, at least in their own minds.

They do not recognize conservatives as women.

If they are sitting at home its because the GOP failed. They have to work to get a vote.

Because young single women want free contraceptives and abortion on demand. So they vote for liberal men like Braley over conservative women like Ernst who could vote to restrict those items.

Sit at home. Good way to beat Democrats, that’s for sure. We’ll show ‘em.

We had a far better GOTV when Ed Gillespie was RNC chairman, far better. He is much smarter than the twit in there now.
