  • If Romney loses, will it be because he wasn't rightwing enough?

    Conversely, if he wins, will it be because he was moderate?

      Yes to the latter, no to the former. Republicans are very energized. Like I predicted earlier in the year, they don't give a **** that he's mormon and they don't give a **** that he's moderate. They hate obama.
      If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

        But they hated Obama back in 2008...

          They didn't hate him nearly as much as they do now.

            They didn't like McCain much either back then.

              If he won* then the GOP base would attribute it to his conservative positions. When he loses it will be because he's too moderate and flip-floppy.

                Not really a lot of them bought into the uniter crap he was selling. Remember he came into office with unprecedented approval ratings.

                  Yes, Obama is not polling as well among white male voters as in 2008.
                  It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

                    If Romney wins, it will be because of voter turnout on the right and/or apathy on the left.
                    If he loses, it will be because of Hurricane Sandy.

                      And they feel even less strongly in favour of Romney than they did McCain - despite 4 years of Obama. After he loses and once again the Republican party advances, despite negative coattails, the republican party can finally move on from this 'nominate moderate squish' plan to lose every election ever.

                        Santorum would be the perfect candidate for 2016.

                          Which is why the party bosses blamed Sarah Palin, (oh, if only we didn't have a conservative VP for dragging McCain down!), despite all the evidence showing the opposite? Don't get me wrong - I was thrilled for Paul Ryan, but he'll be scapegoated again by the party brass.

                              The people who will run in 2016 if Romney loses will probably be Scott Walker, Chris Christie and maybe Bob McDonnell if he doesn't decide to run for Senate instead.
