i'm surprised that romney's campaign was so unprepared to answer the obvious attack that he was a heartless plutocrat. it's like they saw the punch coming so threw their jaw at it. they keep doubling down on positions that alienate yet another segment of the voting population.

demographics will beat economics this election. and i wonder about the long term viability of a party that now seems more interested in being an insurgency as opposed to a governing coalition.

Nobody in the media wants to say it—because we have too much fun calling the play-by-play—but the presidential race is over. After more than a year of watching Mitt Romney, very few undecided voters remain. Despite the significant dissatisfaction with where we are and where we are heading, Romney simply cannot sell the public that he is the guy to move us forward. His missteps and awkward moments are too many to catalog here, but suffice to say that an empty vessel cannot be elected president of the United States.



and you're spot on about the republican party. they had four years to get a viable slate of people to run for the nominee...

and they gave us newt gingrich and michelle bachman, and a retread from four years ago who managed to win the nomination-and he's awful, just awful.

they have managed to shift further and further to the right, and now they're about to fall off the edge.
