If you are going to bring up money, bring up Barack Hussein Obama and the huge sums of money(and media support) he had in 2008 and will have again in 2012. If Romney is disappointing you, how can you not be disappointed with Obama for not winning more states and no less than 75% of the popular vote?
Because no President has ever won 75% of the popular vote. Or even come close to that, even in our bi-polar political system rigged in the favor of the two major parties. Remember Ronald Reagan? Biggest electoral triumph in American history. What was his popular vote % in 1984? 58.8%. Yes the election when Mondale only won his home state, and only by 6,000 votes. FDR, arguably the greatest President (up there w/ Washington and Lincoln) and definately the best of his century, what was his popular vote % in the 4 elections he won? 57.4% 60.8% 54.7% 53.4% Yes only 57% in the election when Lucifer could've beaten Hoover in the depths of the Great Depression. FDR's polling was lame like his legs. (Too soon?) Why has no President come close to 75%? Blame the minorities, gays, and Feminazis.

Ronnie,
If money should translate to dominant victories for Romney Considering his less than stellar competition and all his advantages, I can't blame anybody for questionting his performances. The only primary where I wouldn't would be Florida. EDIT - and RRA doesn't have standards. I'm not held back by something as silly as music songs.

There is a kind of relentless Darwinism in the way these mediocrities have been throwing dirt on each other because they have nothing meaningful to say--making themselves and each other look foolish and turning off voters who expect better of presidential candidates. Whoever gets the nomination will lose in November. Rough justice: they were tried and found wanting. That's the good news.
The bad news: Four more years of Obama. That's why I'm so angry with the GOP, TB. I, for one, would like to have a choice. The truth is, Obama has left a lot to be desired in his first term as President. But he's far and away better than anyone the Republicans are running this year. Turning this election into nothing short of a culture war has removed any possibility of my voting for them this year. Romney is completely out of touch. I'm embarrassed that Santorum is half Italian. And Newt is human garbage. And I got news for ya. If they don't drop this culture clash crap and step into the 21st century, they may never win the Presidency again. Obama 2012 can easily seque into Cuomo 2016.

This will sound crazy since she's quitting her current job after this year, but if she came back and campaigned hard for state/local races in '14...Hillary Clinton could very well make herself a national comeback for '16. Would you vote for her?

Depends. Maybe?
Of course I know nothing about Cuomo. How do our New Yorkers feel about him as he's prepping himself up for a '16 run?
Come to think of it, Hillary/Cuomo would be a double New York affair in the primaries. You know she's not a real New Yorker as well as I know that you hated "Rambo 2." Are you trying to make my ulcer bleed?

I bet he slept on the couch that night. Mitt Romney breezed into Ohio swinging on Super Tuesday with his MVP, Ann, at his side. In a (failed) attempt to honor his wife, Romney announced to the crowd, "I'll introduce to you the heavyweight champion of my life."
Foul! No game rules include referring to your wife's weight. Ever.
"I don't mean weight," Romney fumbled, "She's just a great fighter is what I mean."
Lucky for Romney, Ann is a good sport! "Well, if this goes on my longer, I will be the heavyweight champion," said Ann. OK she was funny there. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/power-player...-115515755.html

I don't know if Georgians really consider him to be a Georgian since he's a Yankee transplant. Don't pawn him off on us, Counselor  .

I noted back on Tuesday about Mittens struggling with Evangelical voters. This article explains why that should trouble his team. Mitt Romney’s 'Southern Problem' is NationalRepublican presidential candidates obviously don't win general elections by winning Dixie alone. They win in swing states like Ohio. And they win in swing states like Ohio by turning out Southern-type voters who live in Ohio—evangelicals and Reagan Democrats. ... Romney's "Southern problem" therefore isn't that he's in danger of losing Southern states; it's that he's not reaching those demographic chunks of non-Southern states that most resemble the South.
Will these voters turn to Obama? The great majority of them surely won't. But, like the four million absent evangelicals who Karl Rove believes proved decisive in the 2000 popular vote, they might just stay home.

Some Evangelicals may stay home.
What if blacks aren't as motivated this time and don't turn out?
I truly believe that in order to get blacks to come out, they have to believe that they're voting against racism. Ultimately, you have to convince enough black voters that if they come out to vote again, they'll offset the vote of a Klansman. It just grinds your gears that black people vote, huh... THE BLACKS ARE VOTING!!! THE BLACKS ARE VOTING!!! BOOGA-BOOGA!!!!

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
