[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obama.  Romney just lost the independent appeal with a Ryan pick.  Stupid.  If you look at Romeny's record he's actually fairly liberal.  Independents sould have been tempted.  But abolish medicare?  Anti gay, anti reproductve rights?  No they just scared away swing voters and that is where the election will be decided.  [/quote]

My thought too.

One thing I've never understood about politics is the appeasing the base concept.  [b]Your hardcore Repubs or Dems aren't going to vote the other direction regardless of who you pick as a running mate[/b].  It really is that majority of moderates, independents, aka swing voters that make the difference.

Yes, my thought exactly.

If Republicans would give up on gays and abortion, they would have SO much more broad appeal.  Hardcores are not going to go Dem.  Independents would be more open to them.  I really don't get it.  [/quote]

The strategy is not to appease the base, but rather to energize the base. If the base voters stay home on election day you will lose.[/quote]
