Did you forget about the 30% Republican bigot vote? Where do they go in order to pick up a couple of minority points?
You don't think that Repukes who believe that Obama was born in Kenya hold that position on merit, do you?
You don't think that the 30% of Repukes that think Obama is a Muslim come to that conclusion by the use of critical thinking? By the way, that's how I come up with the 30% figure.
There was no way the Repukes could win this election no matter who they nominated. Where were they going? Michele Bachman, Herman Cain, Sarah Palin?
Give me a break. I know you're new here, but you have to have some facts to back up an argument.
Any reasonable minority candidate couldn't get out of single digits in Iowa or South Carolina. Remember, the Repuke primary voters are radical Conservatives. Romney had to lie to them to appear unreasonable in order to get the nomination and then lie to the rest of the country in order to appear reasonable, and he still lost in an electoral vote landslide.
Believe it or not, that was their best shot. They came within 3 and a half points and any other strategy would have been a worse trouncing.
