The Last Plutocrat the Republicans Will Nominate for a While

"SNIP..............................................


Everyone’s buzzing about the Times poll, showing Obama up 10 in Ohio, nine in Florida, and 12 in Pennsylvania, which was a done deal anyway and a waste of the paper’s money and why didn’t they do Colorado. Anyway. If you look beyond those top-line numbers, some of the internals, as they call them, are just awful for Romney.


Here is the full, 17-page poll. Have a look. A lot of people are pointing to the “cares about people like you” question, whose results came out like this: Ohio, Obama 59-38; Pennsy, Obama 60-38; Florida, Obama 57-41.


That’s bad enough but I think another one is worse. This would be “the will X’s policies favor the rich, the middle class, the poor, or everyone equally question.” The four numbers below after each candidate’s name reflects the result in those respective categories in each state, in order.


Ohio on Obama: 8, 28, 25, 31.

2. If they don't put up plutocrats

All they have left are the populist, racist, know-nothing flat-earthers. God help us.

3. Yup. They've destroyed their party from the inside. I never liked the Republicans to begin

with but now they have nobody, nobody with any gravitas left. McCain destroyed his own credibility during his Presidential run.
