I keep hearing things like 4 million republicans stayed home (not correct) and didn’t come out to vote for Mitt Romney. You know in the red states Romney won by no less than 53% of the vote…mostly between 55% and 68% of the vote. What we need is more red states.

But did you know that every one of Romney’s 4 million votes of California residents were wasted voting in California? If only 200,000 people from California moved their permanent residence in income tax free Florida, Romney would have tied with Obama in Florida for 29 electoral votes.

Other battleground states, (sorry I don’t know why anyone would want to move to Ohio from California, but perhaps northerners might consider it) but beautiful Virginia? he needed 116,000 votes to tie, for 13 electoral votes. I would encourage you to think about moving to historic Virginia. If you waste your vote in DC, you might consider it too.

And nearby Nevada, 6 electoral votes…Romney only needed 66,000 red state leaning voters to tie there, and Colorado 9 electoral votes, 113,000 votes to tie. NM, 5 electoral votes, 75,000 votes needed to tie. Both an easy jaunt to California, if you are sick of CA politics, keep the CA home for vacations, up and sell, or if just want to do good works, make the move.

And if you are in MA wasting your vote, perhaps, you might consider the move to, nearby NH, (4 electoral votes) where Romney lost by only 41,000 votes. And help restore the Sanity there…Obama helped elect them a dem governor. There was a lot of yelling about “women would die,” if Romney won.

So in my calculation, no need to worry about the 4 million “lost” republican voters…I think they voted, personally, it only takes about a half a million conservative republicans moving strategically to challenge the math from this year’s election. No need to change electoral colleges…no need to beat anyone about the head…no need to nominate Newt Gingrich. ooops. Although I wonder sometimes if he would condescend to run for Senate.

Hillary – vs – Christie

Their positions are completely identical on every issue, so I assume, that if their both run, that they’ll be fighting each other for the democrat nomination.

BATTLE of the OBNOXIOUS, TREASONOUS WINDBAGS!

The Titanic’s taking on water??

I just have to believe the American people are really not THAT stupid. I have to believe…

You need to understand that the American people may not necessarily be stupid, but most of them have no idea what Obama’s been doing in Washington. It will be the job of Obama’s opponent to actually bring attention to these issues during the campaign. One of Romney’s biggest failures was basically ignoring everything Obama did to mostly offer vague pablums about the economy.

I think we politically plugged in people forgot a lot about what campaigns were supposed to do, and there was too much sense on our side that Romney was “supposed” to win in a walk. While conservatives need to figure out the big issues (like what to do about a hostile party leadership), we also need to get back to the nuts and bolts of basic campaigning.

Too soon. We’re still hung over from the disaster in November.

This poll’s results show name recognition and nothing more.

Clinton has at least 22 years in the national spotlight .Biden has maybe 5 years. Christie, maybe 4; Ryan, maybe 2; Rubio and Cuomo, maybe 1.

Agree with both of these. It’s not too soon for campaigning, but too soon for polls like these. There’s also going to be a “honeymoon” or burst of support for Obama with him having won re-election.

Be interesting to see if the Paul filibuster starts to bring those numbers down.
