The aspect of tomorrow's election that has me fascinated is...

Posted by Wreck It David (aka David) Nov 5 '12, 16:12

Republicans did everything they could to prevent Romney from winning the nomination. Voters sent every mixed signal they could that they were desperate for anybody in the Republican Party to prove their worth instead of him. Plans were implemented to force a brokered convention in order to accomplish this goal.

Romney garnered the nomination anyway.

Now, Democrats rail against him for his willingness to shed his skin and espouse new viewpoints whenever his prior positions prove unpopular. His potential presidency is projected to be primarily a series of corpocracy-predicated putterings.

Nobody on either side wants this guy as president and yet here we stand with him a Seattle over Green Bay scenario away from being the leader of the country.

Responses:

I think Romney will lose, the important part is whether they write it off as him not being a "real" conservative and stay on their same course - SG3 Nov 5, 16:47
Mind you, Romney only won the nomination because he rigged the voting machines. -- (link) - Mop (197 lbs) Nov 5, 16:35

    - In this scenario, the NFL is the Supreme Court and the Replacement Refs are the Beach Boys. - Mop (197 lbs) Nov 5, 16:29 4

      - Seattle is corporately owned? and Green Bay is publicly? - the liioulu with Nov 5, 16:33 1
        
        Regarding your IM: Exactly. In that sense, it works on every level. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 16:51

- The fatalistic thought process is that Mitt Romney is the president America deserves. - Wreck It David Nov 5, 16:23 11
  - If for no other reason than the supreme court, it is the correct reaction. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 5, 16:45

  - He was more electable than any of the other nuts that were running against him. -- nm - ceregon Nov 5, 16:24 8
    - I'd love a peek in at the universe where Santorum won the nomination. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 16:25 7
      - I wouldn't, because we'd still be within MOE and I despair at that realization. -- nm - ty97 Nov 5, 16:39
      - Or Perry. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 5, 16:38
