Yes and as close as he got it was, as I said, a math example of how far left the Country is.
If it was Cruz instead of Romney the election would have been called right after supper....

Are you being a smartass?
Jeb could win the nomination.

No, there are few if any Conservative's running.
Remember, Republicans have largely asked Cruz to stay away.

Agreed.
I'd campaign and vote for him now, as well.

Interesting,the R's are part of the problem. Cruz is doing what he was elected to do. Would rather see Cruz as Majority leader in the Senate,than that old wore out has-been Mitch McConnell.

First things first. We need to take control of both houses of congress on Tuesday. Then we need to keep control and elect a Republican President in 2016. Hopefully a conservative one, but we have to realize that currently RINOs control the Republican party at this point, and we may have to hold our noses and vote for one not as conservative as we would like. we cannot afford to stay home in droves and let the Democrats regain the White House and congress. After we have got control of all of that, THEN we start weeding out the RINOs. It took the Communists 40 years to get control of the Democratic party, and they didn't do it by staying home and not voting when the Democrat candidate was not as far to the left as they would like.

Not if but when we take the Senate next week, would Cruz rather be the Senate Majority Leader for the next four years or do the long hard slog to maybe win the White House?
Especially if he likes and would support one or more of the Conservative candidates with a realistic chance to win the WH?

Some weird numbers posted here... but that's the 24hour political awareness average. If you don't understand the math there's no way you understand electability.

Why don't we all just stay home and not vote, that'll show 'em. And there are all those �Constitutional Experts� that lecture us and make a point to tell us why they never vote.

That is ironic, at least if someone votes for their candidate, their words mean something. Staying home in a snit because their candidate will only get 3% of the vote excludes them from having any meaningful voice. Kent

If Romney nominated Susana Martinez he would have won... It has been suggested before that Gov. Susana Martinez would be a prime choice for VP in the next go around. If she wins this election as big as they say she will... So much about the 2016 field of candidates depends on this election...

Anyway, the most unelectable demographic is a GOP white male babyboomer... matches the MSM profile of every 'homeland terrorist'... until it's found out it was a muslim.
Ironic...

During the first week of November, 2016, there will be a GOP candidate and a DNC candidate.
The winner will need 105 million plus votes to be president.
Can we please stop talking about those in the thousands vote range?

You have no idea who might win the primaries or even who will be in those primaries. Especially from an old poll with less than a six point spread.
