Romney actually can bring in votes, too. There are decent-sized Mormon populations in some western states that are have been becoming less red and that Obama thinks he can take in lieu of Ohio and Florida. A similar effect with Lieberman and the Jewish vote helped make Florida closer than one would otherwise have expected in 2000.
Romney also has family history and a good vibe in Michigan — he won the primary there — and the credibility to make the argument that the Dems are to blame for the auto industry decline. Winning Michigan would be pretty big for the GOP.
"if you read alot of the FR political threads, you can see this theme evident right here."
Good point. A lot of "principled conservatives" through a hissy fit during the last election and gave the Dems the power to hold the war effort hostage and veto a strong conservative from being the next Supreme Court justice. That one judge could have tippled the balance on Roe v. Wade, for example, but it's not going to happen because of all those conservatives "staying true to their principles".
What are some good places to get news about what is happening in Iraq? Leaving aside their bias, them major outlets are still sad because of the lack of detail and moronic pseudoanalysis.
Ditto. Brooks has lost it since he moved to NYT. He's probably describing hihmself when he talks about the danger of NYC converting convervatives to liberals.
The worst campus libs are professors and many of those do quite well financially, pay a lot of taxes and still go on preaching leftism. The benefit of a 3% raise (i.e., the Bush tax cuts) must be weighed against the price of losing their religion.
Keep it up! You guys are doing more good than you think. A few events like this will seed a larger campus movement and there is no more harmful source of left-wing indoctrination than the university. This is where people learn that "it is obvious to any educated person" that tax cuts are bad, whites are all racists, welfare is good, and all manner of left-wing dogma.
