I'll have to disagree with these two. But I think you may be missing the fact that a huge portion of the Republican base dies off every year (old white people) so you'll have to broaden your base. Like it or not whites are becoming a minority in this country and that's a fact. So running from the middle will definitely benefit your party.

I basically said as much too in past posts.

All you have to do is watch the YouTube vids of this year's GOP convention and Dem convention. Look at the faces in both crowds.

GW Bush had more diversity at his convention. That's how he won.

Florida will be within 10,000 votes one way or the other. Auto recount.

Romney needs to run these 5. Very possible but not easy.

Mittens ran in the GE from the 'middle'. It isn't good for anything, not the party, not the country.. maybe you're just a liberal.

The "center" isn't even a possibility any longer. Hard decisions have to be made, the credit bubble ended (and begat the govt debt bubble)...but that "touchy feely" centrism of the 90's is a relic.

Both sides are dug in and they aren't relenting. Logic_Man is basically right...there is no fixing it aside from splitting the country in half...the libs get their wishes and the conservatives get theirs.
