(534 posts)Less and less so as the campaign drags on. Money wise the tide is beginning to shift - there's a lot of neutral corporate money right now that originally promised checks to the GOP when they figured that Obama was vulnerable but that now are recognizing that Romney's self-destructing. Bribes ... er, campaign contributions ... are pretty meaningless if they end up going into the losing candidate's pockets. Romney's coat tails are fraying like bad burlap, which means if anything that the down-ticket races are now facing a headwind because of who's at the top of the ticket.
Romney will win the Fundamentalist base, and the Texas oil zillionaire contingent, but he's alienating just about everyone else, including the Libertarians who should have been easily in his pocket. That's not strategy - it's just ineptness.
