Romney doesn't have to "steal" people away..... Anonymous2000 Send a noteboard - 14/03/2012 03:48:00 PM
As in, get former Obama voters to vote for him. Having a lot of Obama voters in 2008 sit out this election and not vote at all is pretty sweet as well.

Lot's of "new" voters came to the polls for Obama in 2008, especially young people. There is no indication that they will vote in 2012 as of now. Nothing Obama promised these voters have been fulfilled.

Yes, absolutely..... Anonymous2000 - 14/03/2012 04:12:30 AM 968 Views
"anybody but obama" is not a winning strategy moondog - 14/03/2012 02:28:23 PM 921 Views
It can definitely work.....don't compare 2012 to 2004. Anonymous2000 - 14/03/2012 02:44:39 PM 793 Views
this is why it will be 2004 all over again if romney is nominated moondog - 16/03/2012 02:22:26 PM 860 Views
It sure as Hell is, as long as the candidate is moderate Tom - 14/03/2012 03:04:10 PM 1061 Views
Did you vote for Obama in 2008? beetnemesis - 14/03/2012 03:47:55 PM 789 Views
Yes I did. If Romney is the candidate, I will vote Romney this year. *NM* Tom - 14/03/2012 08:39:41 PM 487 Views
Second me on that. *NM* everynametaken - 15/03/2012 09:25:39 PM 415 Views
Strongly qualifying your statement really weakens the "anyone". *NM* TaskmasterJack - 14/03/2012 10:14:45 PM 494 Views
The statement "anyone but Obama" can be a rallying cry, but only for the right candidates. Tom - 16/03/2012 01:47:48 AM 969 Views
somehow i don't see romney having much credibility versus obama moondog - 16/03/2012 02:16:32 PM 866 Views
Spoken like a true Obama partisan Tom - 16/03/2012 04:18:21 PM 846 Views
actually, i did not vote for obama in 2008 and i won't this time either moondog - 17/03/2012 01:02:09 PM 909 Views
It's actually not about credibility. TaskmasterJack - 16/03/2012 09:57:41 PM 900 Views
Re: It's actually not about credibility. moondog - 17/03/2012 01:10:52 PM 1263 Views
I love that "Gas Costs More!" is the current rallying cry. TaskmasterJack - 14/03/2012 10:13:04 PM 867 Views
Sure, if Israel hits Iran and Obama looks weak. Tom - 14/03/2012 04:56:23 AM 982 Views
i think iran/israel is probably the biggest issue at the moment moondog - 14/03/2012 02:25:29 PM 960 Views
I would put serious money on an Israeli attack before the election. Tom - 14/03/2012 02:56:55 PM 980 Views

If you will pardon an impertinent question: Why? Joel - 14/03/2012 03:26:01 PM 911 Views
Because Obama is a complete and utter failure..... Anonymous2000 - 14/03/2012 03:44:14 PM 851 Views
Again, I get Republicans voting Anybody but Obama, but not how anyone can be comfortable w/ Romney. Joel - 14/03/2012 04:06:14 PM 987 Views
Pre-convention only the incumbents favorability ratings matter much Isaac - 14/03/2012 01:19:04 PM 959 Views
obama is not popular, but at least he has the ability to organize a national campaign moondog - 14/03/2012 02:18:04 PM 941 Views
No, the democratic party does, so does the GOP Isaac - 14/03/2012 03:16:31 PM 978 Views
That's true- despite how divisive the primaries seem, the GOP will unite behind the winner beetnemesis - 14/03/2012 03:44:16 PM 979 Views

Actually, my experience has been a lot of libs mean it when they say they will not for anyone. Joel - 14/03/2012 04:19:46 PM 786 Views
I don't want to grossly over-generalize but there are distinct trends to party demographics Isaac - 14/03/2012 06:04:09 PM 1040 Views

Isn't that a pretty tenuous strategy? beetnemesis - 14/03/2012 04:49:42 PM 949 Views
