It’s quite obvious at this point that the GOP is decadent and worthless. Look at their presumptive nominee. The only thing holding it together is a fear of Barack Obama, and let’s face it, that’s only going to be a motivating factor for the Republican partisans. For a lot of folks who aren’t beholden to the GOP, fear of Obama alone is not going be enough to motivate them. You have to give people a reason to vote FOR you, not just use wearisome scare tactics. Romney doesn’t give anybody a reason to vote FOR him. He drives off conservatives because he’s a progressive. And he doesn’t attract other progressives because they already have their guy sitting in the White House. When you get right down to it, the large bulk of Romney’s 44% that he’ll get on election day is going to be made up of that third of the country that formally identifies with the Republican Party, and who therefore thinks that they “have” to vote for him, no matter what.
Well said.
