It's all going to turn on the economy, though.<br /><br />And unless I miss my guess, if Obama wins, by 2014 he'll have wished he had lost. Second terms rarely go well and he's going to have a lot of tough things to deal with, with a lot less defenders, too.Mr. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920907647566015611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29320675.post-25834409289862754782012-03-07T14:28:12.710-08:002012-03-07T14:28:12.710-08:00mc cain didnt have the evangelical vote last time ...mc cain didnt have the evangelical vote last time around, huckabee did.<br /><br />gotta keep in mind that the conservative-wing and the evangelical wing are not the same, but they overlap often due to a few shared principles.<br /><br />besides that the evangelicals are not necessarily a monolith of their own either.<br /><br />if perry and bachman were still around, you'd see them fractured.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29320675.post-816864183760592142012-03-07T12:38:40.060-08:002012-03-07T12:38:40.060-08:00come the general, i think their dislike of obama w...<i>come the general, i think their dislike of obama will bring them out for romney.</i><br /><br />I think that's probably true. <br /><br />I said many months ago (maybe even a couple of years at this point) that one cannot win the GOP nomination without the evangelical vote.
