I want to see the list of 120 independents who support him.
LOL. They’ve scraped up two so far... and are looking nation-wide as we speak. /s
Why? He’d still be the nominee.
If we are to run simply to attract independents (which GOPE and Mitt are doing aside from the Ryan bone) then we might as well claim the mantle of the now extinct moderate Democrat because that is what Independents like...
Is it too late to ask Bill Clinton to replace Todd?
I mean we would win and Claire is a bit worse than Slick
this Akin brawl much like the GOP convention is pretty illustrative of where the GOP leadership has gone after Mitt and FOX clinched the nomination
My view...I know you dying for it...is that this election will be won on the anti Obama turnout...and that is the white male vote and married white woman vote
contrary to punditry and the GOPE those folks have not turned on Mitt over Akin and I bet most have not even turned on Akin in MO...if we mimic 2010 turnout in those demographics we win...easily
the other demographics with outlier exceptions will not pivot enough to matter
is one for the rape exclusion or not...that is a question...as for me I am against it given if we do not execute the rapist then why execute the baby?
but given politics I would be happy to see a ban (for now) that had a rape and incest and life of mother exclusion rule nationwide if we could get it...it would be an epic win for anti abortion folks like me
my gut feeling is that the GOP leadership is scared of social conservatism period and thinks it can run on fiscal responsibility and that may work given the ire against Obama...but it won't work unless you have a really nasty Dem to run against and get your base which is socially conservative motivated.
so if they win in November they should not be fooled...it was merely a perfect storm not brilliance
