They were told they weren't wanted or needed by the GOP, so we went elsewhere.

RE: so we went elsewhere.
And let Obama cruise... yes, that’s very smart.
i have a feeling based on the videos of the past 24hrs many of them will be returning...
Anyone who votes according to the polls is an abject idiot, especially when the polls are instruments of propaganda.

Just hanging out quietly biding our time until Election Day.
We really don’t need any of those Obama Brownshirts coming around to “get in our faces”.
They’re letting “perfect be the enemy of good”
Since Romney doesn’t meet their exhalted standards for conservatism, they’ll stay at home rather than violate their “principles”, in essence passive aggressively voting for much worse: Obama.
Doesn’t Romney have any responsibility to win this election, or it’s everybody else’s fault. As a candidate, Romney is in the 47% who expects candidate welfare. And you agree, he doesn’t have any responsibility to work for his own victory. That’s an interesting theory- but let’s see how it works. Besides, it seems like Romney would like to lose pure, than win by evil conservatives voting for him. How will he ever get rid of conservative cooties if they vote for him?
That's my exalted standards.

Isn’t Romney saying the same thing? He doesn’t want to be tainted by vile, uneducated conservatives? He doesn’t want to reach across the aisle and sully himself.
They are too busy buying canned food and stockpilling brass and lead....
That is an excellent graph. And it underscores the fact that Evangelicals won the election for Bush in 2000 and 2004. No other demographic group was anywhere near instrumental in defeating Gore and Kerry as Christians.
What happened in 2008? What is happening now? Easy: Evangelicals were kicked to the curb. Us values voters were and are ignored.
But just don’t blames us when Obama is re-elected. Blame the GOP-e.
They're not convinced that Romney's sufficiently pro-life so they withold their support in order that the most radically pro abortion president ever gets re-elected.
Theyre not convinced that Romney is sufficiently conservative so they'll sit by and allow the re-election of the most radically liberal and anti-American President ever.
They're upset that Romney's a Mormon and not a Christian so they'll sit by and allow the re-election of a muslim who's aligned and allied with radical muslims who openly call for the destruction of this country.
Well said.
waning support for Governor Romney from conservatives and evangelicals.

conservatives and Christians dont support him much either...
The GOP-e needs to remember the standard game plan of needing to attract voters on the fence has a second key element: getting the core of the base to come out and vote.
Otherwise they can find themselves gaining, for example, 0.5% in the middle, but losing 0.5% in turnout from the right.
The home runs are hit when the party preaches enough that people in the middle actually experience a change of heart.
Be so snide as you like. the reality is that when “your” candidate disowns you, your enthusiasm wanes at the very least. Those shunned voters will not feel sufficient excitement to get them to the polls in the numbers that Romney needs. It seems stupid for the candidate to give the finger to his base support but if Romney is from he standard Republican mold then he is not, in fact, running for the Presidency. He reached the perceived Republican Elite pinnacle when he won the nomination. Further campaigning is just sufficient to keep from ruining his reputation, even in the press and among his “peers,” by taking an obvious dive. He is being more subtle. It’s finesse.
If Romney would come out and say Romneycare was a mistake would be enough. But he doesn't even care enough to lie and say Romneycare is a mistake. He won't even put any skin in the game. If he can even muster enough to lie on one thing and pretend he's with us. Wow.
