Interesting read. Thanks.
[ Among states that last voted Republican in 1988 or earlier, he classifies two, Michigan and Pennsylvania, as socially conservative, and two more, Minnesota and Wisconsin, as “mildly” so. That adds up to 35 states, with 348 electoral votes, in which social conservatism is an advantage. A socially liberal Republican nominee might win more votes in California and New York—places where the GOP has declined as the country has become more polarized—but his prospects of carrying either would still be minuscule. ]
This is an interesting article.
Interesting article. I do think Santorum needs to defend himself more vigorously against the media’s attempts to paint him as a theocratic busybody. Hell, that describes Obama better than anybody else, with his foisting of liberation theology on the nation.
Social conservatism is pretty unpopular around here these days. All of the sudden being pro-life isn’t compatible with conservatism.
“If you’re a Republican in New York or another big city...”
Snicker, snicker.
Anyway, I’ve been pointing out for decades that the candidate (of either party) that appears to the most conservative always wins. In every recent election up 2008, that was easy. 2008 is iffy - Obama did outflank McCain on TARP by not panicking and suspending his campaign. But overall, 2008 was a ‘making history’ year, where even Obama’s opponent was so enthralled by him, that he would have been happier running as Obama’s VP.
