(25,453 posts)The President has enough of a lead in the swing states that he would win the electoral college if the election were held today. The only way that Mittens can beat the President, is to convince voters in these crucial swing states that the President is the problem with the economy and he is the solution. Pandering on social issues ain't gonna cut it.
Furthermore, this will get Mittens way off message. Every moment that Mittens spends trying to pander to social conservatives on this issue, is a moment he's not spending trying to convince people in Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia, and Iowa that he can do a better job on the economy. If we're still talking about gay marriage and birth control come October, the Republicans don't stand a chance in hell.
