Romney 2012: The Last Great White Campaign

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

I anticipate a white vote of about 58% for Romney.

Maybe we would have gotten more done if the GOP were willing to work with us at all. Their stated goal was to block as much as possible to stagnate Obama and make him easier to beat.

Because you can totally filibuster with 40 Senators. Man, damn those Republicans, for uh...making funny faces and writing angry letters while our party passed the bills we wanted to pass!

We only had the full 60 for a few months (between Al Franken's seating and Scott Brown winning in MA), and Lieberman joined the 40 on health care reform. The stimulus, which by all means should have been bigger, was probably about as big as it could have been.

“The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

The GOP back then had a decent-sized progressive wing which was willing to work with FDR, and FDR (in hindsight a morally gray move) agreed to ignore civil rights in exchange for having conservative Southern Democrats vote with him on those 100 Days agreements.

If the GOP cared about moving America forward instead of waiting 4 years to get their turn, they'd work with the President on creating jobs.
