Hate to break it to you, bub, but the GOP-E has backstabbed, snubbed, and undermined Conservatives so much to clear the way for Romney that there is no enthusiasm for him within the base, even with Ryan on the ticket.

This is how I see things as well. I was at a grandchild's sporting event yesterday in Baltimore. People were travelling from a 2 to 3 hour vicinity which should give us a decent cross section of red and blue cars. It did. There was a lot of time before my granddaughter went on so I took a walk through the several hundred car (or more car) fully packed parking lot. 2 Obama bumper stickers (and one of those was from the last election), 0 Romney stickers, 3 Sarah Palin stickers, and a pretty decent mix of assorted liberal and conservative stickers.

Because the sporting event was Irish dancing, you can be sure there was an oversampling of both conservative Catholic and Union Dem voters. The good news is that the union guys aren't very fired up. The fact that there was not a single Romney sticker on the cars (including my own) speaks volumes about the disgust the Republican base feels this time around. The Republican establishment apparently has to win this one on their own.

I think that has to do with the character and mindset of conservatives vs libs. A conservative respects the property of others, even lame-brained Obama supporters, and would never cause damage to another person’s vehicle. OTOH, libs are simple pigs and are happy to deface cars with pro-American stickers. That’s why we have nothing on our cars.
