    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.

    Who said that? The Obama/Bohner deal that Paul Ryan helped scuttle because it contained revenue addressed en lements. The Bowles Simpson proposal addressed en lements which was also partially sunk by Ryan because it contained revenue. I realize Obama ignored Bowles Simpson for political purposes, but I think he may push for something similar in a second term. It'll be sunk by the Republican controlled house, but Obama has been willing to negotiate en lement reform in exchange for revenue. The Ryan wing of the house has showed no such willingness to negotiate.
    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?

    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?

    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!

    No way. Obama will be on the defense and blaming the republicans. You can't erase the last 4 years. 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?

    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
