For too long both parties have been drifting toward statism. The conservatives lost their base due to that drift and liberals misread their subsequent presidential win as a mandate for increased statism due to that drift.
Unfortunately for the democrat party, their relentless partisan pursuit for state run health care has defined them as unpalatable to the American people. They seem paralyzed.
Fortunately for the conservative party, the fact that they are out of power allows them to redefine themselves. They are nimble.
From PoliPundit
Colorado, the swingiest of swing states, is going heavily Republican as a repudiation of Obamunism.
This just a couple years after going heavily Democratic as a repudiation of Bushism.
If the two major parties are paying attention, they should be aware that the huge, moderate/independent swing vote hates two things: 1) religious/social conservatives imposing their morals on others; and 2) tax, spend, and borrow leftists mortgaging our country’s future.
It’s a jump ball. So far, the Republicans are reaching for it. They are burying social issues and focusing 100% on the fiscal disaster. Democrats, not so much. They are doubling down on burying our children in debt.
I could not agree more.
Jump Ball.
