[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1995046, member: 7488"] [url]http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/politics/55317160-90/americans-appeal-campaign-election.html.csp[/url] [I]Washington • President Barack Obama’s campaign manager said Tuesday that he saw former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman as the biggest potential threat to the president’s re-election. Jim Messina said Huntsman’s appeal to moderate voters could have dug into the Democratic president’s margin with that swath of Americans, whom Obama handily took to win a second term "We were honest about our concerns about Huntsman," Messina said at an event sponsored by Politico. "I think Huntsman [as Republican nominee] would have been a tough general election campaign." [/I] This rehearsed line (said by Rush and others) about moderates going to Romney is bologna. If Romney had won the moderates (not necessarily independents), he would have won the election. Plain and simple, the GOP ostracized the person who would have best connected them to the average voter. Will they make the same mistake in 2016? [/QUOTE]
