oh wait, you mean the media doesn't determine elections?

ABO is about as useful a campaign strategy or political plan as ABB was.

Anyone But Bush worked?

Not as far as I am concerned. Kerry was smoked. McCain v. Obama was much deeper than ABB.

If I remember correctly it was John Ashcroft who was into being anointed.

You keep thinking that.

McCain had a pretty decent shot. He wasn't moderate by any means, but he was seen as a sane Republican who looked to be a breath of fresh air from George W. Bush. And then he surrounded himself with the same people who had been advising Bush, showed a fundamental lack of understanding about how to fix the economy, ramped up the war mongering at a time when the country was completely exhausted and tired of war. And then there was Sarah Palin.

McCain lost himself the election, for the same reason Mitt's probably going to lose; he came in looking like a "maverick", and then showed himself to be anything but. Just like Mitt, the Republican base (somehow) viewed him as too liberal and didn't like him, and so he pandered heavily to the base, which alienated the middle of the electorate and fired up the left.

Love it or hate it, people liked Obama's ideas and ideals more than McCain's.

But keep pretending your party doesn't keep ****ing up winnable elections by appealing strictly to the crazies.

ideas and ideals sound interesting...reality intrudes though

I do luv the mental image of Mittens the Maverick though :ols:

How about Mittens the Practical?

Which, in today's GOP, makes him a maverick. And, a soon-to-be-ex-Republican.

Know that. :silly:

That's the thread that should be filling up. This thread here is about the loser, who honestly cares what he says anymore. He will not be winning, so everyone should be on the Obama thread and see what has in store for us.

What we don'tknow are Romney's policies. Because he won't tell us much about himself. Will get go back to W's policies? No? Then what will be different? Paul Ryan won't discuss budget details until after the election.

More from the link

Thing is we don't need to know. Romney isn't winning or realistically has a shot of winning.

We need more specifics from Obama now.

Mccain was never going to win in 2008, regardless of whether or not there was a financial crisis. People had enough of Bush and Republicans and in 2008 the Dems were going to win. The financial crisis gave that final push. The election might have been closer without it but Obama was going to win.

Electorally, Obama is doing fine. This election is really about Ohio, Florida and any combination of 2-3 states(Virginia,Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada) that gives Romney the remaining votes to get to 270. I'll go ahead and give him Iowa and North Carolina.

Romney doesn't get the first 2 and he's done and so far, Obama is leading in both states.

This would seem more pertinent to the question of who will win:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epo...bama-1171.html

Add to that Romney's proclivity to shoot himself in the foot weekly and his inability to produce warm and fuzzy feelings within the electorate the way Clinton and W could.
