Maybe more compelling, but the next nominee will be more conservative than Mitt.

OMFG. Loudoun county went for Obama. That is beyond shocking.

I don't know. I think John McCain was a good, honest man with more principals and character then all of us on this board combined. I don't think Romney is a bad guy either, to be honest. They have no choice but to break bad in order to get the nomination. It's tough.

I think most Republicans wish that was the case. As of last night, they are still losing Senate seats.

One of the guys on msnbc last night made a good point about how these low turnout R primaries are resulting in TP candidates that can't win in generals.

and they are not going anywhere unless republican leadership tries to at least somewhat get them in line.

I'm assuming you dislike this.

More conservative than which Mitt? Mass governor Mitt, Rep. Pres Primary Mitt, or General election Mitt?

WRT McCain, it was a little scary that he might not survive the presidency and then Palin would come to power. I believe that Senator McCain is a fine, well reasoned, honest, grounded public servant. I did not hate him, but I also did not see him as president. Perhaps that started with having Sarah Palin foisted on him and his inability to do anything about it. That made him seem weak. Perhaps the only thing he could have done was quit, but that is a shameful thought. McCain has always had my respect and that doubled down when he admonished a crowd calling Obama a Muslim and defaming him.

That's basically what I mean. Because of Palin and McCain's injury history, there was no way I could vote for him, but if you had thrown up a McCain-like nominee with a Christie-like VP, you could beat any democrat they throw up there. You just probably just cant get through the primaries

Has Obama been vetted enough yet? Can he be a legitimate president now?

Do we think Republicans have now maybe learned the lesson that data is what it is and not whatever you would like it to be?

We're liberal as hell up here.

California has all kinds of crazy conservatives.

true, too.

east of the cascades here is really conservative, but there are only like 650K registered voters on the east side of washington. all of the population here is in liberal cities whereas cali has a ton more people living in rural areas.

oregon is washington with more rural areas, basically

i guess. washington is pretty rural outside of the puget sound and spokane.

Not that anyone cares, but Oregon and Washington are very similar in that their populations are highly clustered, mostly in the I-5 corridor; the difference is that the population centers are larger in Washington.

No.

As long as your core policies are based on theories which have no evidence of success (Supply Side/Trickle Down/Laffer Curve, Austerity) and which appeal to an ever-decreasing minority of voters, you have to continue to have to try to fool both the voters and yourself that the data is wrong.

It would be a great benefit not only to Republicans but to the country as a whole if the GOP were to have a come-to-Jesus moment about their policies and the makeup of America, but I suspect we'll continue to see denial as a dominant theme for some time to come.

so ppp was way way more right than rasmussen just about everywhere
