That must be sme pretty strong stuff that this guy’s smoking. Wow, it’s like the Twilight Zone.
Off the top of my head, I don’t recall any Presidential election during my life where the media did not write this same article over and over.
It is a staple for every election.
Ah, another WH press release posing as ‘analysis’ from an AP hack.
"That sounds like a social issues question. To tell you the truth, in 2012 I'm not sure anyone expect the media wants to talk about social issues. Here's what I have to say about the Keystone oil pipeline ..."
“With divisive social issues dominating their nominating contest, will the Republicans be able to eventually win over the non-ideological independent voters deemed critical in this fall’s election?”
IF “independent voters” are inclined to vote for the failed Obama administration because many Republicans do care about the “social issues” - then so be it. If a GOP nominee is not right of social issues, he/she won’t get the rest of it right either. Social issues DO matter, and those that think otherwise are NOT true conservatives. True conservatism has three legs: National Defense, Economic, and Social. Without all three, the candidate is out of balance. Obviously, each leg’s relative importance to the “conservative” will not be the same....but ALL true conservatives will be, more or less, conservative in all three legs. The “mushy middle” is a losing proposition.
This takes conventional “wisdom” to a whole new depth, conventional “propaganda talking points” — based on nothing more than wishful thinking.
If only we would all become liberals and nominate Nancy Pelosi we could win.
Oh no! We’ll lose Bill Gates and Warren Buffett! Oh, that’s right, most of the billionaires are already Democrat. Geez, how can working people vote Democrat?
ssssssssatan speaks.

Horsecrap. Most people are conservatives and agree with them on social issues. But hey, when you are an AP writer and you president had THE MOST liberal voting record in the entire US Senate, your perspective tends to be a little skewed. I mean, they think Obama is a moderate, for heaven’s sake.
I just wish Rush and a bunch of other rich conservatives would fight back with conservative tv news stations and newspapers (even as they are dying). We don’t fight.
Bull crap. That is a damned lie (and I used that word advisedly; that lie is straight from the forces of Ba'al). Associated Press should be shut down for this kind of political contribution to Obama.
