It's clear that they going for the white vote and only for the white vote this time

[MrScorpio]

Sure fire winning strategy, or what?

[TwilightZone]

1. They apparently think that they can win with just the Republican base.

They can't. They're not even trying to pander to other groups, much less appeal to them.

2. If they've spent four years setting up vote caging and suppression

operations in black precincts, maybe it's just predictable.

3. Yea, the only problem with that is that are only going for the

neocon evangelical white vote

They forgot about all of the other whites, blacks, hispanics, gays, miitary, union workers, police, fire and the list goes on....

This Republican Convention was not about inclusion it was about exclusion and America finally saw them for what they are greedy, hateful opportunists.

4. Losing strategy I would think, because...

...the "minority" vote will easily put Obama over the top.

[virgdem]

5. Because they are going to disenfranchise

every African American and Hispanic voter that they can in order to steal it again.

6. Worked for Reagan, but I think it's a different world now.

First, we pasties aren't as strong a percentage as back then. Second, fewer of us pasties have hoods in the closets. Hopefully that will make the difference.
