I certainly am hoping that`s the case, JR... my nagging fear is the electorate saw Romney as TOO far to the political right. Good God, I so hope I`m wrong!
Romney lost for one reason and one reason only. He did not and could not energize the conservative base to vote or work for him 100%!! He’s a phony, a fraud and everyone right, left and everywhere in between knows it. He couldn’t even beat Juan McCain, for crying out loud. Romney is a loser with a capital “L.” Of course, we’re not saying anything new here. Not breaking new ground. We’ve been shouting it from the rooftops on FR since he and his sodomite/abortionist RINO Twin Rudy Giuliani first started making noises about running for the presidency way back when. NO Rudy McRomney was the battle cry!!
How many times do the fricking GOP-e and their enablers need to learn and re-learn the same lesson? DO NOT RUN RINOs!!
But, admittedly, Romney could have won—had he run as a DEMOCRAT!! Had a perfect record for it in his past pro-abortionism, pro-homosexualism, pro-gun control, pro-global warming, pro-government healthcare, etc, campaigns and as governor of TAXACHUSETTS!!
The GOP Has Problems With White Voters, Too
Romney’s strong national showing among white voters was almost exclusively driven by historic support from Southern and Appalachian white voters.Think of the rust belt, and the claims of Romney shipping jobs overseas. Painting Romney as an evil capitalist appears to have worked. Whites were 60 % of the GOP vote in 2010. Whites were 59 % of the GOP vote in 2012. The drop off appears to be the white working class. The vote for the House doesn't support the notion that too many stayed home. If that's the case, then a lot of them didn't vote for the top of the ticket!--snip--
Outside the South, Romney’s performance among white voters was anything but historic. He ran behind Bush’s tallies in most of the northern half of the United States.
