LOL. I got into an exchange on the Dayton Business Journal's FB page a few days ago regarding a survey they conducted a/b Obama's tax proposal for the rich. The DBJ leans way right, BTW. Anywho, I linked to a slightly earlier version of the same bikini chart, and asked the righty who challenged me if he was reading the chart upside down. That ended his argument in a hurry.

I am not sure if the US can get over Romney being a Mormon and a member of the ultra-rich elite. He's just too shiny. Bush was rich but he had that rough edge that some found loveable. I can't imagine him beating Obama. I really couldn't imagine Gingrich taking it all the way either, but he was a scarier choice for Pres than Romney was anyway, so my interest was maintained. It's over for a while in my book - until a Romney/Obama debate.

I think many Republicans will stay home come election day. Romney will end up a sacrificial lamb. I think I'll just do my duty and vote third party and spend election night tending my virtual farm in Farmville.

Dude, you need to relax. His point is that Mormonism is hard enough for the Evangelical right to accept, let alone a non-Christ-inspired religion. Get over it!

I think you're right- he'll get the McCain treatment... the 20% diehards will show up, the moderate GOP won't (all 3 of them.... in RI !!), and Independents will support BO. I don't think it makes a hoot in hell difference if Mitt or Noot gets it. The GOP is doomed unless there's something big happens...(like 9-11 or 2008 collapse). The GOP has to pray for a US Disaster to have any hopes of winning. I think they have a good chance to lose the House too... esp if the economy grows and they keep on this theme of "gloom & doom" !
A commentator remarked about the "Halftime in America" ad all the GOP has their panties in a wad over. The GOP and Dems have switched places... in the 1980s it was Reagan's "Morining in America" speech that inspired the masses, got him re-elected, and the Ds were the "gloom & doom". Now it's reversed and the Ds are the upbeat and the GOP the "gloom & doom"
