re: #58 Expand Your Ground

In Red States, yes…but I think they would be an embarassment at the national level, and will eventuall even backfire in the states.

I think the “message” that Mitt wants to get across with his VP choice is that he is prepared to be tough on balancing the budget and lowering the deficit, which is a major talking popint against Obama, even though Obama inherited most of the debt after Bush inherited a surpulus.

Wouldn’t call New Jersey or Wisconsin red states. The GOP can win when economic issues are the mainstay of their message even in left leaning states.
