We got stuck with Hopey for another 4 years because Romney wasn't conservative enough (that was the impression anyway) and a bunch of voters stayed home. Now we have this jacka$$ running around passing decrees like he's Ceasar. You think elections don't matter? Now that he's done empowering the EPA, guns are his next target. He'll try an end run around current law, just wait. Immigration? Yea right.... There's very little border now, wait. A few more weeks....
Romney's elitism did him in
Close.. The power brokers made some bad assumptions. They used their position to force Romney onto every nomination in every state, and they burned any and everyone around to make that happen. The plan was to play nice .. AFTER he won and could make amends.
What we are seeing now, are the results of burning the locals. There simply is NO good will left (in some states). Further power-brokers using money to force their candidate..further infuriates the locals. ( ie 5 million spent versus 250k).
The same type thing is happening here... Thad's campaign is outspending Chris's by more than double possible triple. However, external monies have Chris getting the bigger bucks. However, as I see it, the real vote getter is not either campaigns nor external ads... its the locals being pissed off (after being pissed on).
