[QUOTE="donner, post: 1734430, member: 277"] If i remember my Poli sci 101 correctly, it's much easier to mobilize your base to vote than it is to get someone to change his or her mind. Hence why getting those independent voters is increasingly more important. You're going to get your base to vote for you. Hardcore GOPers aren't going to vote for Obama, but getting them to show up is still a worry. This is why i think forcing candidates to run towards the base during the primaries is hurting the GOP. Forcing a moderate candidate to embrace the religious right in order to get the nomination only serves to turn off the undecided voters and gives the democrats ammunition. I know from my experience that I've been increasingly unhappy with the GOP candidates who want to confuse church and state with religion and politics. [/QUOTE]
