Just to be sure what i told you, it isn't a case of wanting Obama to win ~ it's a recognition that the NUMBERS are not on Mitt's side.

To believe Mitt can win you have to believe these things:

(1) That you can get 62,000,000+ Votes (the most any Republican has ever gotten) without overt support of the Social Conservatives.

(2) That Obama can actually lose 15% of the vote he got in 2008 ~ and he got 69,000,000 votes!

That's the task. It is best done by a candidate who can ATTRACT some Democrats (e.g. unemployed youth) and also ATTRACT all the Republicans.

You cannot win as a Republican by rejecting the support of major factions affiliated with the Republican party. That does not work.

No joy.

I see no joy, no happiness, no optimism.

It’s really sad to be you all.

Glad I’m not.
