It is a measure of their clear failures that this historic stronghold is slipping away from them. It should not have, ever, but it has.<br /><br />Wisconsin is a battlefield right now, but when the dust clears, there will be a political winner, and it won't be the fleebaggers. That will be telling, and Pawlenty will benefit from the political support that recent electoral wipeouts have brought his party in the Midwest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-23394155074277565182011-03-10T20:36:50.718-06:002011-03-10T20:36:50.718-06:00Yes, ObamaCare is a standalone issue, and RomneyCa...Yes, ObamaCare is a standalone issue, and RomneyCare is going to kill Romney.<br /><br />Pawlenty is going to stand at the podium and ask how it is Romney can claim to repeal ObamaCare, when he worked mightily with Ted Kennedy to enact the exact same thing in Massachusetts. <br /><br />And then Pawlenty will point out that Obama will be asking Romney the exact same thing in the general. And then the voters will answer both questions for themselves. <br /><br />Bubbye Mitt. You lose again.<br /><br />It's going to be Pawlenty, and he's going to win PA, MN, IA, OH and perhaps even WI and MI... a Midwest sweep in other words, in addition to reclaiming all of the Bush 43 states lost in '08. <br /><br />Bubbye Obama.

The GOP elite...If Palin runs, she will get the nom.<br />The GOP elites have tried unsuccessfully for a year now to suppress birtherism in the base. There are now more birthers among likely GOP primary voters than a year ago, 72%, in spite of efforts by such notables as Breitbart.<br />Since just before the midterms, conservative elites like Rove, Krauthammer, Ponnuru, Goldberg and Krauthammer have tried to suppress Palinism.<br />Like suppressing birtherism, it cannot be done. Among likely GOP primary voters her popularity remains at 65 to 70%.<br />Romney is a mormon.<br />It would be easier for a scientologist to be elected in contemporary America aka Distributed Jesusland.<br />The GOP is a religious party now, and not tolerant of either mormons or muslims.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-68419501487484824252011-03-10T11:10:49.855-06:002011-03-10T11:10:49.855-06:00The one thing I'd add to the last paragraph is...The one thing I'd add to the last paragraph is that if Republican elites see another candidate whose positions are acceptable to them begin to gain traction, they will jump all over all of Mitt's apostasies to undermine him and clear the path for the candidate without the troubling past. If Mitt's winning, then Obamacare and Romneycare as different as chalk and cheese. If he's losing, he's just a closet socialist with an inch-deep commitment to the principles that made America great.Geoff Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17117921607237662932noreply@blogger.com
