Well, they (the GOP) have shown a remarkable talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory before. I think if there is going to be any Republican rebirth, it will have to come from the governors and big city mayors. Guys like Kasich, Romney, Giuliani and Palin. There guys at least know that you cant spend yourself out of debt. Regulate business into prosperity and tax your way to surpluses.

Even a drunken sailor quites drinking when he runs out of money.

Actually, USN, it should be easier in this midterm than in 2012. “All” we have to do is get tea partyers out of their comfort zones and get their votes in, plus the votes of independents who realize that their “neutrality” is leading them to a really uncomfortable loss of their lifestyle.

Midterms are typically hard on presidents (especially ones who got large lots of special interest votes, like blacks or teens/twentysomethings), and if we can get our base motivated (sorry Gary, that won’t happen with or be led by the NRC) then we really might have a chance to pull it off.

That said, I’m not counting on it happening, but will continue working for it. I just hope the Republican “leaders” don’t undermine the movement.

Yeah, I hear what you say Carlos, but at the same time, any “Tea Party” for want of a better word, is going to have to do a helluva better than 36%, or one year from, we’ll still be stuck on stupid, unless no one at all votes for the Dems. I seriously doubt that will happen, much Id like it to.

That means either drawing more votes from both parties , or a complete rebuild of the GOP. And we dont have time for the latter now. Conservatives need to start getting our act together, and most importantly, find a real conservative leader that can effectively ennunciate conservatism and free enterprise.

After the debacle that was New York earlier this year, it’s not surprising Republican “leadership” is nervous about backing a “moderate” (generally known in conservative circles as a “flaming liberal”) over a more conservative candidate.

I’m actually surprised Mikey and the gang at national hasn’t stepped in with all the wisdom of an amoeba and told the local to back whomever’s most liberal because that’s the only way the party will ever “feel the love” of the MSM.

What a bunch of lousy losers.

There is yet in Ohio, a remnant of the level haededness that used to characterize the entire upper and eastern midwest. Ohioans, eventually sense when their served well, and when they are getting screwed by their leaders. I know because I was born and raised there

Thats one of the reasons its a swing state. The general consensus around my home town is - Dewines is history, and the state GOP is simply getting out from under the hod of falling bricks.
