I said "legitimate". When your budget doesn't get a single vote by either party, it's not legitimate. Are you suggesting no one brought it to a vote because it contained revenue? Or could it be that it just wasn't any good?
Props to Nate Silver at 538...
Turning out your base may not be a sufficient strategy if your base has become too narrow. In 2004, Mr. Bush had an excellent base turnout — but he also captured about 40 percent or 45 percent of the Hispanic vote, a share that Mr. Romney is unlikely to reach. Without that relatively strong performance among Hispanics, the election would have been a tossup.
...
But pay attention during Thursday night’s speech to whether Mr. Romney offers any moderation on issues like immigration. Otherwise, he may have drawn a very narrow path for himself between now and November.

brother, I doubt you need to hear Mitt to rate it. ron bless.
Wrong , again. God bless
it's ok, jack... your god forgives you. ron bless
The Boehner/Obama 'grand bargain' was more legit than some budget Obama put out that had no chance of passing the Republican controlled house. Why in the world would he slit his own political throat by putting cuts to en lements in a budget that had no chance of passing?
btw - this speech is absolutely horrible.
Apparently, Willard tried to shake someone's hand, and the guy yelled back at Willard to "not touch him"... so much for all that party unity Preibus and Boehner were hyping up!![]()
It's true, mitts right....we are not better off than we were 4 years ago. God bless
Mitt is going to get eaten alive in debates. Its almost like he is whining in the speech.
I am tbh.
No way. Obama will be on the defense and blaming the republicans. You can't erase the last 4 years. God bless
I just said that exact same thing to my wife.
Mitt had a chance with this speech. He blew it.
Good for you. 23 million unemployed are jealous of you. God bless
He really said that? Mitt thinks we were better off 4 years ago with $5 gas and the nation on the verge of collapse?
It was basic and to the point. Obamas 4 years is what Obama is running against. Not mitt. God bless
And how on Earth is Willard going to respond? He certainly wouldn't dare bring up his record, which includes Romneycare and a boatload of tax hikes, as Obama would probably nod and agree as neocons throw a fit.... basically, Willard can only keep playing the "Obama's fault" card....
GOP = fcked
No. God bless
Oh No. He's providing 'the specifics' now with his and Ryan's 5 point plan!
You missed a lot of the convention if you think good old family man Mitts record was not brought up. A pretty good business man and governor, tbh. God bless
Whoever did his makeup should be fired! He looks even more artificial than normal.
Laugh at environmental concerns and cheer for military spending...
Not impressed.
