Romney's New Strategy Turns Right

“This is going to be a base election.” More God, less economy.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Mitt Romney's campaign has concluded that the 2012 election will not be decided by elusive, much-targeted undecided voters — but by the motivated partisans of the Republican base.

This shifting campaign calculus has produced a split in Romney's message. His talk show interviews and big ad buys continue to offer a straightforward economic focus aimed at traditional undecided voters. But out stumping day to day is a candidate who wants to talk about patriotism and God, and who is increasingly looking to connect with the right's intense, personal dislike for President Barack Obama.

Three Romney advisers told BuzzFeed the campaign's top priority now is to rally conservative Republicans, in hopes that they'll show up on Election Day, and drag their less politically-engaged friends with them. The earliest, ambiguous signal of this turn toward the party's right was the selection of Rep. Paul Ryan as Romney's running mate, a top Romney aide said.

That leaves Romney to spend most of his time on the trail delivering narrowly-focused messages meant to excite conservatives who weren't always behind him in the Republican primaries. (Ironically, what eventually won many of them over was Romney's argument that he would be the best candidate to win over moderate voters who traditionally decide the election.)

Mitt, if you're sending mixed messages and still trying to solidify the wingnut base, you're losing.

Geez!

Righties just can't understand why Romney isn't winning

3. And is losing every Moderate undecided voter en masse.

Rmoney is either a total idiot or is being deliberatly torpedoed by his own side in order to clear the way for Jebbie.

The Bushes don't like, trust, or want Rmoney. The PNAC'ers don't trust him, the Neocons look askance at him.

4. No they know Rmoney is losing and they want their RWs to be fully

responsible for the loss - they are setting them up and I'm lovin' it. The teabaggers will be wiped out.
The so called moderate Jeb is waiting in the wings for 2016.
