The Dems learned their lesson from the Gore campaign TheCrownless Send a noteboard - 09/11/2012 06:25:23 PM
If your candidate isn't Bill Clinton and the opponent isn't Bob bloody Dole you won't win an election where only half the people turn up to vote. The "we won't win unless we proactively attempt to get people out and vote in a systematic and organised way" lesson has won Obama 2 elections. If the Dems had campaigned the way the Republican party has then Mitt Romney would be President right now.


Come to the dark side, We have candy!

I'm Israel, he's Palestine, its more fun when you pick sides.

What next for Romney and the Republican party? TheCrownless - 07/11/2012 03:51:50 PM 1126 Views
In my view, more moderation is needed. Nate - 07/11/2012 04:17:05 PM 670 Views
Pretty sure seniors are growing MORE numerous, not less. You're probably right about the rest. *NM* Aemon - 07/11/2012 05:03:17 PM 653 Views
That's true, but I don't think that's the right way to look at it. Nate - 07/11/2012 05:18:52 PM 685 Views
Yeah, I hear what you're saying, and I agree with the overall point. Aemon - 07/11/2012 07:52:33 PM 962 Views
Yes, I see what you mean. Nate - 07/11/2012 07:56:05 PM 606 Views

I am no expert, but I think Romney is done. nossy - 07/11/2012 07:00:33 PM 747 Views
I'd say they're pretty much done ßelals Girl - 07/11/2012 07:54:44 PM 634 Views
I'm not sure about that. Nate - 07/11/2012 08:04:33 PM 739 Views
Again, the numbers you cited will continue to shrink every year. ßelals Girl - 07/11/2012 08:25:21 PM 1292 Views
They're through. They've been utterly crushed, demolished, and annihilated after last night. Praziquantel - 07/11/2012 10:34:47 PM 701 Views
Well Romney is retiring but no the GOP is hardly 'done' Isaac - 08/11/2012 12:51:44 AM 571 Views
I do hope the Republican party have the same lax attitude, I love seeing them lose *NM* TheCrownless - 08/11/2012 12:46:32 PM 290 Views

If you're relying on the democrats crashing and burning TheCrownless - 09/11/2012 02:45:41 PM 641 Views
the dems played the "wait for the repubs to crash and burn" strategy and it worked out ok this year moondog - 09/11/2012 05:01:53 PM 684 Views

There's also the fake or exaggeration aspect that might be in play but I can't judge that Isaac - 11/11/2012 06:44:16 PM 1097 Views
I think you were taking that statement rather literally TheCrownless - 11/11/2012 07:36:14 PM 643 Views
I took it as a literal statement, the language implied as much to me... Isaac - 11/11/2012 08:45:16 PM 692 Views
Oh, I can absolutely count on them crahsing and burning, that's a given, happens to both regularly *NM* Isaac - 09/11/2012 06:28:51 PM 334 Views
You can't count on exploiting that TheCrownless - 09/11/2012 06:39:47 PM 727 Views
