have Republicans admitted yet that they've got their version of Kerry on their hands?

I'm also starting to think Murdoch is right...

what the hell were they thinking? It's spectacularly tone deaf. He could have gone and subtly appealed to a few popular points, asked to be considered, etc.

but instead he goes there with a Trump sized megaphone and makes claims that get him laughed out of the hall.

Kerry with ten times the donated money, I guess. -- nm - mara Jul 11, 11:19
Was the Romney donor at the Hamptons thing discussed here? - Reagen Jul 11, 11:18
The difference is his base is more motivated than the democratic base, so it's still going to be close. -- nm - pmb Jul 11, 11:18
Could it be a subtle ploy to get him exactly this PR and help to solidify him with the base? - ty97 Jul 11, 11:17 12
- it's almost a clever political strategy. - znufrii Jul 11, 11:20 1
  - except his goal isn't to just solidify his base - znufrii Jul 11, 11:26
- He is as solid with the base as he's going to get. The base isn't voting for Obama no matter how well or how poorly - TWuG Jul 11, 11:19 5
  - Right. He could put multiple puppies and kittens into a wood chipper and he will still have their vote. -- nm - Jovian Jul 11, 11:20 2
    - Now mention something they're against. -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 11:21 1
      - "Hey! Keep your snobby lemon grass out of my chipper!" -- nm - Max Jul 11, 11:22
  - The base can stay home though -- nm - ty97 Jul 11, 11:20 1
    - they aint staying home this election.. -- nm - Jovian Jul 11, 11:21
- "You're never going to vote for me" is a strange ploy. Why even show up if that's the strategy? -- nm - David Jul 11, 11:19 3
  - Because you have to. Imagine the PR if you slight the NAACP? -- nm - ty97 Jul 11, 11:19 2
    - I can't believe I lost to this guy. -- nm - Newt Gingrich Jul 11, 11:21 1
      - If the Supreme Court had ruled six months ago, I don't think Romney would be the nominee. -- nm - David Jul 11, 11:22
