I just feel like in order to appeal to their vocal mass, they really alienated too many other voters Even in the fall-out of the election, a lot of their supporters don't blame the candidates or the campaigns.. but the others... Those good for nothing, take, take, take segment of America who is all about having unprotected sex so they can have their weekly abortions, live off the government's money and food and illegals. And I just don't get their play.. they need to start casting those aside, and focus on casting a wider net. ~Edit~ Also, I think they need to start dealing in the world of facts. The fact that it caught so many off-base that Obama, not only won re-election but with a pretty hefty margin in the PV and EC shouldn't have been too shocking if you were following the polls. But for weeks, we heard that the polls were skewed.. that they couldn't be taken at face value.. they oversampled Democrats.. that there was an air around Romney... none of that was ever proven in fact, but they went with it. When your own candidate begins to believe this non-sense, and is shocked that he lost.. it becomes a problem. |

The media needs to start doing this too. Who cares what the democrats or republicans say, both sides will always say whatever it takes to make their voters more confident that they have a chance. Focus on neutral polls and don't make excuses. Obviously the pre election polling isn't 100% accurate, but at least point out that it would be a huge upset of Romney were to pull it off. |

I mean, c'mon. Santorum? Rick Perry? Those guys are joke fodder for the Daily Show, nothing more. |

As for bad candidates, I think that can be attributed to 1) self-promotion, and 2) the misguided idea that taking a hard right turn in the social realm of politics would push up Republican turnout. |

Dislike can only get you so far.. they really needed to show WHY we needed Romney.. not just why Obama should go. Feel same thing happened in 04 with Bush and Kerry |
Re: 2012 Presidential Election Thread
Maybe this is why:
http://www.chris-floyd.com/component...ser-evilq.html Any candidate who gets nominated automatically must be an 'evil' rich-douche. Obammy included. Evil rich-douche against evil rich-douche means most Americans can't see past the 9th inning in a 170+ game season, so they put their money on the one team who is most likely not to totally fuck up their hope for a good stretch. Chance at actual pennant. This poem sums up my thoughts on the republican wing and the possibility of good leadership.
