The Republican path to victory just gets narrower and narrower

[kpete]

The data in the Current Population Survey (pdf) reveal rising black turnout and falling white turnout in 2012, but even if turnout rates shift to a more typical pattern without Barack Obama on the ballot in 2016, the constantly increasing non-white share of the population means that the GOP's door moves a little closer to slamming shut each year.

1. You forget the power of the "liberally-biased media" ...

you know, the one which helped create the 'baggers, focused on the million moron march led by Beck, and allows the Repugs to filibuster everything and BLAME REID FOR NOT GETTING ANYTHING DONE (by not having 61 democrats bust a filibuster ... because there are not even 59 democrats in the Senate now).

Today's "liberally-biased media" is used as a bullhorn for the Republicans. Obama scores a minor win ... let's cut to Boner getting the last word. Republicans score a minor win. Let's cut to Boner for his celebration.

2. Yes, and now they breathlessly promote this Benghazi nonsense.

3. I wish that Liberal Media would quit giving John McSame

airtime! Why do they love him so!?

4. Because they are tools.

Any sane person recognizes McCain is a vindictive sore loser who will SAY ANYTHING and tell any lie to "get" Obama. That's why they love him.

5. The "liberally-biased media" kept up the constant harping after December 12 2000

that the Democrats were "whining sore losers" ...

None of the "l.b.m." bothered to shut the Repug m*****-f*****s up and point out ... "Yes, the Supreme Court gave Bush the election." It was all "Move along, nothing to see."

6. Let's hope it narrows more especially in Pennsylvania. The pigs control PA-State House,State Senate,

Governor, 1 US Senate seat, and 13/18 US house seats.

7. Does it even matter with a Democrat party that drifts right when elected?

Democrats constantly run on a liberal agenda, and then get into office and drift away from it.

There is no left-wing party in America today. We have a right-wing party and a centrist party.
