"The opposition would have a much better chance of defeating Obama if they would stop quoting sound bites from the bobble-heads that put forth the assumption that we are all naive fools who fell for anything resembling "Hope and Change" and did an analysis of the real reasons he won"
Of course everyone who voted for him was not a naive fool. But I do believe there were quite a few. Do you think Peggy Joseph did some deep political analysis before voting? I never thought this day would happen. . . . I wont have to work on putting gas in my car. I wont have to work at paying my mortgage. You know. If I help him, hes gonna help me. - Peggy Joseph Anyway, never underestimate the power of a good slogan. It can capture the imagination of the "joiners". "This would include the fact that there was no valid opposition candidate in 2008. He will likely win again because there is still no valid opposition candidate. " Can't argue with this. Same thing with Bob Dole, Al Gore, and John Kerry. "No moderate or liberal will vote for Gingrich, Santorum or Paul, and even the conservative Republican base won't vote for Romney. " I'll have to strongly disagree here. I know several democrats who have said they will vote for Paul over Obama. They like his "bring the troops home" platform and his personal freedom policies. As for Romney, I'll disagree as well. While I would never vote for him, I believe that "moderates" would vote for him in droves. "If it's a brokered convention with a Bush/Palin ticket, as the media seems to suggest, the Republican party, for all intents and purposes, is dead." It's dead anyway. It's base is eroding so fast that it will never be able to recover.
