That is not a deep analysis of US presidential elections. If you can't energize your base, you are fucked. It is that simple. Nobody is going to be excited to vote for Romney save for his family. He has been the weakest frontrunner by far in recent memory. He almost lost the state he was born in and where his father was governor to a laughable joke of a candidate. Only reason Romney carried Ohio, Michigan, etc is because of 5:1 or more spending advantage. Regardless of how Obama's fundraising goes Romney won't have 5:1 or 10:1 spending advantage. Fact of the matter is, Romney is a 3rd rate politician. He does not connect with voters, looks stiff, bland, boring, has zero charisma. Americans don't vote for robots or corpses for president. Romney has been a classical private equity businessman. I don't know about you, but I don't want a country run like a leveraged buyout. As to evangelical voters, Obama is the status quo. Evangelicals look at Mormonism as a cult. Between Obama vs unknown, Obama is better. Mitt Romney is an active supporter of Mormon church. He gave it millions of dollars, and vast numbers of evangelicals do NOT want to see it expand.
My only son was in Iraq, TWICE. He's now in Afghanistan along with my nephew. So don't tell me I don't care about dead soldiers.
This from the moron who wrote: "Tea party is a fake movement created by koch brothers." You left one tiny factor out of your ANALysis, Einstein: BO's record. And those same people from that "fake movement" who overthrew the democraps in the midterms will be out in force with many others to vote AGAINST BO and his record and, based on that record, what he might inflict on the country in a second term.
Sadly there is the one X Factor that is missing. . . . . ROMNEY IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL.. Not only will we once again be the laughing stock of the outside world, the terrorists will be rubbing their hands with glee in anticipation..
Yes Obama has troops in Afghanistan.The GOP alternative would be to have troops in Iraq,Afghanistan and Iran <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6TsPC0OGK0M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ee4XoVSMsJo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Obama will keep us in the Afghanistan war for as long as it takes for us to lose... ...and then blame the republicans.
