In response to "Mel, I thing "unseating Obama" excites the GOP base." by ty97

I'll be curious to see how that aspect plays out.

Conservatives have said for years that the "anyone but Bush" political strategy was a huge mistake for Democrats in 2004. They seem destined to employ a similar one for 2012.

Romney though isn't a Kerry....he's a successful businessman who won election in Massachusetts - Whitney Oct 17, 13:12 2
- except for that first line of your im kills Rommney in so many eyes, of the pundits and many far out to the right - tRuMaN Oct 17, 13:20 1
  - That's why the GOP is still looking for another person, but each and every one of them has failed. - Will Hunting Oct 17, 13:22
To your IM: The anyone but Bush strategy in 2004 got us Kerry, who was not nearly as electable as someone like Edwards (2004 edition) - ty97 Oct 17, 13:07 8
- Kerry was arguably the most powerful democrat at the time. - David Oct 17, 13:10 6
  - It was Hillary then too. Kerry was the nominee becuase he crested at exactly the right time after Dean imploded. - Whitney Oct 17, 13:14 4
    - It's terrifying how close John Edwards was to the presidency. - David Oct 17, 13:16 2
      - It's amazing how long into the 2008 race he actually thought he should be Atty General. - Will Hunting Oct 17, 13:17
      - And yet....no Bush. - ty97 Oct 17, 13:16
    - ARGH! -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 17, 13:16
  - Power doesn't equate to electability though. - ty97 Oct 17, 13:14
- Well, it's not apples-to-fruitcakes, either. - Beryllium Oct 17, 13:09
