Campaign advice from the "architect" who almost managed to lose to John Kerry...

On Tuesday, Gallup's seven-day tracking poll had Barack Obama and Mitt Romney tied at 46%. With the incumbent stuck below 50% on the ballot and Mr. Romney's favorability rising, the Republican challenger has a good shot at winning.
To take the White House, Mr. Romney needs 270 votes in the Electoral College. A "3-2-1" strategy will get him there.
Mr. Obama long ago lost his chance to duplicate his 2008 performance. A record of failure will do that. He's now forced to fight for states he easily won in 2008. The odds now narrowly favor a Romney win.

On the list of reasons that Romney is unacceptable, being a Mormon is way, way down the list for me. I actually don’t understand how he could take those liberal positions as MA Gov and remain in good standing with the LDS. Therefore I don’t think they have much of a hold on him.
Ah, Del, this is where the personal intrigue comes in.
Oh, for someone who had been AT THAT LEVEL in the LDS, and then walked out. It could provide immense sunshine on either the risks or the lack thereof. Some folks like our reaganaut have seen it from ground level in the form of official policy, but not seen it as it actually played out.
If Mitt follows a philosophy however muddled, or is just looking for political attaboys, that’s one thing.
But if his church ties him to the spiritual oversight of a particular man with the post of prophet, and that man happens to be as looie liberal as Harry Reid — well a genius is not needed to anticipate all hell breaking loose.
All I can tell you is to vote your conscience. I’ve voted Republican in every Presidential election going back 20 years, and the last time was bad enough with McCain, whom I loathed (but justified voting for him for 2 reasons, #1 being Palin, and #2, hoping the stress of the job would cause him to keel over and she’d succeed him). This time, barring a replacement of Willard, will be the first time I will not vote for the GOP nominee. Having known Willard for 18 years going back to his Senate run against Ted Kennedy, there’s nothing under the sun that would convince me to cast a vote for him. He simply does not possess the character to hold ANY office of trust. He is about the most dishonest person I’ve ever come across who has dared to run for office as a Republican. Even being asked to vote for him is personally, viscerally, offensive, right down to my core. “ABO” is not a reason. That’s a cop-out.
Defeating Zero is what we want to do, BUT not replacing with someone of equally odious character, or lack thereof. Zero must be replaced by someone WITH character and with the bedrock Conservative principles to turn this country around. Willard is NOT that person. He’s a Socialist running in the wrong party. Nothing that comes out of his mouth can be trusted. He’ll say anything to get elected. He’s a sociopath, a megalomaniac... someone raised with a grandiose sense of entitlement. His father, a Presidential aspirant, was scarcely different. These folks were at war with the Conservative wing and wanted to run out/purge people like Ronald Reagan. It is unimaginable that any Conservative could support such a fraud. I haven’t spent years on this website warning people about this individual to simply turn around and blindly support him. I won’t do it. It would be like selling my soul.
Well said. This conservative will not carry water or help in any way the son of George Romney.
This conservative believes that the goals you describe will be better served by getting rid of Barack Hussein Obama.
I trust this doesn’t disqualify me from participating in my beloved forum, but it’s what I believe.

Campaign advice from the "architect" who almost managed to lose to John Kerry...
“There are those on this site (many of whom I agree with) who think the combination of the liberal Romney and a Republican Congress might be a deadly combination since they will be eager to help Romney advance his agenda.”
“In that case, there’s no way Romney gets primaried. With a Republican Congress, the Romney DOP-E will do anything needed to run the entire slate for re-election.”
“We have a peck of trouble on our hands.”
It is a persuasive argument. In reality, I still can’t figure how Romney got the nomination this time.
LOL
Thanks most sincerely, haven't had that good a chuckle since Pet Detective!!!
The Republic the Founders gave us was murdered by Abe Lincoln, universal suffrage , and the body buried by the women's suffrage and income tax amendments.
Anybody who is looking for a solution from the fat happy bastards in DC is retarded.
It's over, get out while you can.
> With another four years of Obama, there won’t be a country left to save. He will implement programs that can’t be gotten rid of and will pull the US down to a third world status. Look what his first term is like, when he still has to worry about reelection — wait until he is totally unconstrained in his second term.
More alarmist rhetoric from the pro-RINO crowd. Would you call a republican House and Senate “unconstrained”? Obama would be a lame duck and we’d have another chance at a conservative candidate in 2016. It’s a valid strategy.
