Do not let the GOP blame Romney if they lose.

In 2008 the right wing blamed McCain because he was a "moderate" (translation: almost sane) and for 4 years they have been saying we will not nominate another modeate.

This time they will say they lost because Romney was a moderate.

Not so. Romney's comments about the 47%, we should remind them, is a big part of what killed him and we should remind the press and the GOP that the 47% comments are what the far right of the party believes. Romney may have acted like a modearte to win Mass. but he ran this whole campaign from the outer reacher of wing nutterville.

If Romney loses it will be because Americans rejected the rights' view that there is no social compact and the 47% should just pay up and shut up.

they will loose no "if" about it... when they do, i certainly do hope they blame it on a moderate candidate, and run to the right ... as the demographics favor us going forward..
