Some are saying Romney wins and he is neutered by his own party because he is a "centrist" at heart. I don't buy that one. If he loses, the Right may double down because the claim will be that Romney was not "conservative" enough and they should have gone with a true believer. Yes, scary but true.chaunceydevegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09652406326490873337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-81216004351104964672012-11-06T07:40:12.607-06:002012-11-06T07:40:12.607-06:00If Romney loses the Republican Party will disinteg...If Romney loses the Republican Party will disintegrate with the hard core right permanently moving to the Tea Party who can only hope to rule some Congressional districts and elect some mayors, governors, and a senators.makheru bradleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-58368200294246233042012-11-05T18:55:38.848-06:002012-11-05T18:55:38.848-06:00I don't think real republicans and the plutocr...I don't think real republicans and the plutocrats who run this country want Romney to win, his only connections are to a nutso church Obama's connections to the plutocratic class run deep.
