Quote from CaptainObvious:
Romney has lost the entire working class. You can't win their vote by telling them they haven't sacrificed enough. That they don't pay enough in taxes. That they are a bunch of freeloaders looking for a hand out. These people are busting their asses day in and day out just to get the bills paid. He has grouped the guy making 15 bucks an hour, working 60 hours a week, with some slug scamming the welfare system. When you generalize to that degree you're not going to make any new friends.
Quote from RCG Trader:
It is a cause celebre that FT and I defected from the conservative camp. He left due to religion. I left because the Tea Party had taken over the GOP, and they had gone too far right. Arab racism was unacceptable to me, considering the recent history of my own people.
I agree with you Ivan, but you do not realize that this GOP would call Reagan a liberal. It is about social issues with this group, and they believe in "states rights" and "natural selection" which is another way to say they believe in Apartheid, therefore, the conservatives can kiss my black ass.

Quote from CaptainObvious:
Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania will all go republican this year. Want to know why? Blue collar white males. Specifically the ones who voted for Obama last time, of which there were many, will not be doing so this time. This election, contrary to all the media bullshit, will be decided by white males. Not women, minorities, special interest groups. They're all decided and always have been. Working class white males are the swing vote this time around, and Obama has lost them.
Quote from RCG Trader:
This is why the GOP basically self immolated shortly after this comment. Worse, Mittens thought he would not be heard. That aspect is the most damning of all.

Quote from AK Forty Seven:
Disagree.Indiana maybe,not Ohio and Pennsylvania imo
Quote from CaptainObvious:
Yes, he has failed to win the hearts and minds of the average American. Indiana will still go for Romney, but he has lost Ohio and Pennsylvania. All three were his for the taking a month ago. Not so today.
