If Obama defeats Romney...

[elvis]

should Obama thank the evangelicals for their bigotry?

They may stay home because they won't support a Mormon.

 

[Jackson]

Not to worry. We are talking about OBAMA.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

His vp pick should he win the nomination will solidify the base. I see him picking a hard right conservative.

should Obama thank the evangelicals for their bigotry?

Ed Rollins said last night that over 20% of evangelicals will not vote for Romney because he is a Mormon. That's amazing.

I don't like Romney..and I don't plan to vote for him. But he's never injected his religion into the political debates or conversation. It should not be a factor.

 

[Big Black Dog]

If I was Obama, I'd begin to look for someplace to live cause he ain't going to be living in Washington, DC too much longer.

Funny you should say that. I saw a republican and democratic pudit suggesting that he might be thinking about Herman Cain. Given his behavior toward Cain, that's not so farfetched. It would be a more exciting ticket then say, Romney/Pawlenty..but not as safe.

This. I don't see it as completely out of the realm of possibility that Romney would pick Bachmann or someone as far tot he right as her for a Veep.

The problem with that strategy though is that even with a Veep specifically picked to motivate the base, McCain had at best lukewarm support. I'm thinking that the GOP is so strongly motivated by defeating Obama that Romney would do a little better, but that could be his biggest weakness.

Most exciting things are not safe.

Ed Rollins, Bachmann's campaign manager..why ever would he say that?


Link?


Mostly the only people I ever see claiming that lately are Democrats...



So if it came true in 2012, that's 20% of what, 20% ?

They definitely won't be voting for Obama, so.....

that's 4%.

Yes.

It could be the guy from Texas...then look at what we would have going for us:

Heh. Good point. But, on the assumption he wasn't blowing smoke:

They definitely won't be voting for Obama, so.....

No, most of them won't vote for Obama, but the question is whether they'll vote at all. Or vote third party if they do.

Gawd, if Obama wins reelection by default because of stupid religious bigotry -- well, hell, it's no better than we deserve.

I'm just guessing at the percentage of Republicans who call themselves evangelical, but it's probably close to 20%..? So Ed Rollins, at this stage of posturing for the nomination, claims that 20% of THEM refuse to vote for Romney. I think that obviously remains to be seen and most likely if given the choice of Obama winning or not winning, they will join the other 80% of their fellow evangelicals, hold their nose and vote for the Mormon... Just my opinion. I'd still like to see the Rollins quote though...

Yeah. wasn't arguing with you.. I hope you are right.

You're right about that! I thought this nation was learning some tolerance after the last election. My bad.

In what could be a game changer for Mitt Romney's 2012 bid, Chris Christie endorsed the former Massachusetts governor at an event in New Hampshire today.

"Mitt Romney is the man we need to lead America, and we need him now," Christie said at an afternoon press conference in Hanover, N.H.
