Basically, since losing in 2006, the GOP has written the 47 percent crowd off. Dems have had new members of congress especially members like McCaskill, heidikempt and Warren to help assist in holding the Obama multiracial coalition. With Hillary against Christie it will be the same.

None of what you're saying is true. Also, both parties have had many new members of congress. Look at 2010. 47% of this country is able to write off paying taxes because they aren't required to by law. We could talk about that too, but it's off topic. Also, Romney ran a better campaign than George McGovern.

The minimum skilled workers, received no raise in the minimum wage, they desperately need which includes women due the GOP opposition in the tax reform act to the payroll tax holiday expiring which raised the social security tax everyone pays.

What are you saying? He wasn't expected to lose?
2011 was when Obama's approval was below 50 percent. By the fall 2012, just like in the case for dubya, Obama had approvals at 50 in time where most inc win reelection. And plus the economy was below 8 percent unemployment and capture of Bin Laden increased his approvals too.

He could have won, but Jon Huntsman was the model he should have followed. And he was defeated already in primary.

When Romney called Gingrich a liberal for endorsing Climate change with then Speaker Pelosi, on couch, that effectively ended his campaign. Allowed Gingrich to define him from the left on Bain Capital, and freed Gingrich from courting conservatives for Romney in general.

Gingrich and George Will are conservatives, no doubt. But both of them look at Dems, as nonpartisan lenses. Just like Will complimented Hillary on finding 28 electors to beat Christie. Referring to the fact, Dems feared Guiliani more so than Chris Christie. And he is no Rudolph Guiliani.

But Gingrich was especially sensitive on this subject, because tea party supporters said he helped raise fees or taxes to end the govt shutdown with Clinton along with tax increaser with then Maj Leader Dole.
