Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts just six years ago. Today he's so
unpopular here he's barely bothering to campaign in the state. There are
reasons for that-and they could spell doom for his presidential campaign.

Why didn't you put this in quotation marks? Otherwise the reader
thinks it's you talking, not the article. The word "here" made me
think you were in Massachusetts. Don't you know anything about
writing, fuckface?

Anyway, I know Beldin is not so sure of what your article implies,
because he was afraid to make a bet with me to the contrary. Sure, he
was adamant about Romney not having a chance in Massachusetts, but he
would not bet with me, even if I gave him the money in advance, so he
must have doubts. The offer is still open from me, by the way. I say
Romney DOES take Massachusetts.

Only *profoundly* stupid readers, and I don't really give much of a shit
about them.

No, not profoundly stupid readers, but any reader of average
intelligence is not going to know that is a quote until they confirm
by clicking your linked article. So either you are an amateur writer,
or pretty fucking profoundly stupid yourself.

The reason why Romney can't win Massachusetts, is the same reason any
Republican candidate isn't going to win NewYork, New Jersey, Connecticut
and Rhode Island: they're solid Democrat, blue states.

George Pataki, a Republican, was the governor of New York. No way he'd
win New York if he ran for President against Obama.

Chis Christy, Republican Governor of New Jersey, he wouldn't win New
Jersey as the Republican presidential candidate, either.

They all won on state-related economic issues. With a presidential race,
there's relatively little cross-over voting because of state-specific
"pocketbook issues." In a presidential race, If the state is heavily
weighted in Democrat voter registration, it'll go Democrat in the
left-wing east coast states.

You've just insulted all of Usenet. Why else would we come here?

I must say thought that this group is at the supergenius level
compared with sci.physics. That place is the ultimate black hole of
stupidity. You can't imagine it unless you've been there.

Romney will not win the Mass Electoral votes in 2012.

That's a sure thing
What ISN'T is whether you have some angle shooting asshole twist to steal
the bet money somehow

It's not that I have doubt about the outcome, Peepee. I just don't trust YOU

Ok, that's almost funny.
Actual funny would require you to tag it with "Or that's my spin on it"

Mo_Charles:

Clavey blithered:
Where he was elected Governor?

I wrote:
On state-specific economic issues, yes, a fiscal conservative candidate
can win running for governor; especially with a majority of registered
voters as Independents (or "Unenrolled" as they're technically called in
Massachusetts).

For president? No.

It would help if you knew what you're talkng about before you
post-blither, amnesty-boy.
