I speculated this after Obama's election. I thought the GOP would fracture. - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 1, 10:59
They've lost 1 in a row, and are in a close fight for #2. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:57 4
- And they have all the money to keep it close, no matter their backwater views on social issues. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:02 3
  - But they keep winning down stream. That backwater view won a sizable majority of the 2010 votes...and probably will do well in 2012 in that same rega - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:04 2
    - Yup. Mittens is the worst, a puppet that they can be vililfied if he loses, and made to dance if he wins. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:06
    - I can't see the GOP losing the House, but I am hoping the Dems hold onto the Senate -- nm - amoxy Aug 1, 11:05
4? They have only lost 1 -- nm - amoxy Aug 1, 10:57 4
- We said assuming Romney loses (2), social issues are advancing rapidly, no way they win those votes another 4 years down the line. -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 10:59 3
  - I think you're being far too optimistic, and not recognizing the ridiculous ammonts of money and influence pedding the GOP - musubi Aug 1, 11:04
  - So you are assuming that Obama wins this year, then Hillary wins in 2016 and 2020 - amoxy Aug 1, 11:03 1
    - Agreed. But social issues are playing an important part of it. Notice FL's polls even. -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 11:05
