47%” Was Bad for Romney; Ryan Has Been Deadly

Its not the fault of media... The GOP had a real cross section of clowns.. except for HUntsman and they wouldn't get behind him.

Huntsman was a good choice, IMHO, but the GOP wouldn't get behind him because he was an ambassador during the Obama admin. I found that a silly reason not to run him. He also didn't have the big corporate money behind him. The GOP clearly wanted a puppet with the ability to bring in big corporate bucks.

Heh another thread full of unintentional hilarity from the left

If Republicans had Jesus Christ on the ticket you people would be shrieking like harpies that "Jesus was Satan" and what a huge mistake it was for the GOP to nominate him. This is nothing more the typical humiliation tactics "go with the crowd" "Everybody knows" "You're not cool if you're not with Obama" nonsensical snake oil you desperate people have been peddling since 2008. Hopey Changey heal the planet jibber jabber without any basis in reality.

6 trillion in debt and the result is 19% Real Unemployment. Our flags and embassies burn in the ME while Al Qaeda flags are raised in their place. Complete Failure. The country slides into a Depression and we're supposed to believe the problem is Romney/Ryan? Doesn't pass the laugh test.

If Republicans had Jesus Christ on the ticket they'd be voting for Obama because Jesus Christ was an actual socialist.

Being that you are self proclaimed to be loaded with Obama notes, how about we make a large bet on who wins? Put your money where your $hell is.
 
Things get worse for Team Romney when: 1) your VP can't explain your tax policy in a straight-forward, compelling way; and 2) members of your own party publically ackwowledge that your tax plan would not benefit the one national demographic that could use the most help - the middle-class.

And then there's Romney's record on job creation and taxation...ummm...I mean "fees"...while Gov. of Mass. If you paid attention to the GOP debates, you know that if the topic turns to jobs and taxes during the presidential debates Mitt Romney's in big trouble.

It is true that we hear very, very little from his campaign about Governor Romney. Even during the general campaign. That hasn't changed from the GOP Primary. What has changed is that now we aren't even hearing much from his campaign about about his Bain Capital years, either.

Which is a mistake on both counts imo, he has a record he can run on, only the most conservative should take issue with his moderate policies as governor

Kudos to calling Obama "Erkle". It's original.

Romney is very risk adverse. Reaching for the middle with a GOP base as cantankerousness and ideological as it is represented a risky, bold step. Instead to seal the Primary he burned that bridge with “I was fighting against big odds in a deep blue state, but I was a severely conservative Republican governor”.

I wonder if that will pay off for him, I sort of doubt it though. People like me on the extreme left wouldn't have voted for him anyway, but there seems to be a certain level of support from the center that gets lost in the republican primary process, it happened with McCain too, who I also respected as a reasonable person but then I was dumbfounded by his actions in the election.
