I didn’t really understand your post, but republicans always lose New Jersey since the 1980s.

I don’t get your post either, New Jersey is not an indicater state, Bush never won there.

So, if Christie or another candidate(hypothetically) carried NJ, that would be a cushion against losing an important toss/up state or a larger mandate. Not saying of course that electoral math should be the deciding factor in choosing a nominee.

Okay, I think I explained it more clearly in post #44.

So, if we won NJ, we could afford to lose 15 electoral votes elsewhere...

No offense to him, but I don’t understand people who actually thought that Duncan Hunter, or Tancredo, or Gary Bauer or Alan Keyes, etc. were viable candidates... and then when you point that out to them, they just attack the stupidity of the American voters. That’s not a Reagan Republican attitude/strategy and not likely to win the “hearts and minds” of the electorate either.

Evidently, since Bush didn’t need them even in 2000 or in 2004, New Jersey does not vote Republican.

Yeah, like I expected, the simple truth went right over your head, again.

It has nothing to do with role reversal or social engineering.

It would be great to hear some of the white males in politics today articulating that the only way to save this nation, right now and for the near future, is a drastic effort to return to the Constitutional limitations on the federal government.

For whatever reason, the white males either can't or won't, and nothing less will suffice.

Yes she has to broaden her support. Wait until she starts appearing on the mainstream interview shows. Her job then is to win the hearts of millions of voters not yet sold on her. I think she’ll soften up some of the interviewers as well.

As you probably know, I have committed to raising $2 million dollars for Governor Sarah Palin if she runs for the presidency. I was able to raise a little over $40,000 for Fred Thompson in the very short time he was in the running and was a top fundraiser for my county GOP back in the 1980’s, so it’s not just wishful thinking.

I misunderstood your post, my point is that New Jersey is not a major player in republican presidential races, and who cares, Christie isn’t running and he is too liberal anyway.

So why do they have a Republican governor now?

And since when did Bush become the gold standard for Republican presidents?

I’m sorry but you are too confused for me to keep wasting time on.

So you’re taking this one guy’s attack on a female president to rant against “white males”... you’d fit right in on any university faculty, sister.

One-liners and clever facebook posts and tweets are not going to endure an entire presidential campaign

Well for us conservative "cerebralists", that may apply. The current culture and campaign style (since BillyJeff), fostered by the media, is just what you describe above; one-liners, clever "gotcha" lines and zingers are the "call-of-the-day". Sarah is tapping into the culture to wage a conservative battle.

I'm watching Milt Friedman's PBS series and I absolutely love it for how deep it digs. My kids ask me for a summary.

That’s not it... you’re just interested in partisan hack attacks based on (in your mind) the ONLY person who can be the nominee and therefore you can’t even deal with a simple concept, so you run and claim “confusion”. Anyone who doesn’t agree with your messianic coronation is “confused”.

The Bush victories were both squeakers... that eventually led to a Democratic landslide... who the hell in their right mind would cite those as examples worth emulating?

You never did cite with evidence that Christie is a liberal. If you can, I will cede the point to you. I’m not a Christie “follower” or “hack” and have no problem in doing so. But that still won’t make Palin a winner in the general election.

I'm not a sister; I'm a man, and a white man, and actually a really manly man and a real BAD dude, other than on the internet.

Go back and read the words I wrote to Sit-rep, and try real hard to understand what they mean. Or have your mommy read and explain them to you.

You could be entirely right about that; it’s just watching some of those 2008 interviews were painful (hatchet jobs though they were)... I just don’t know if she can overcome that.
