Maher: Mitt Romney Is A Symptom; The Problem Is The Republican Party


"All week long I've heard that Mitt Romney is a poor candidate," Bill Maher said on his HBO show "Real Time" on Friday. "He may very well be the poor candidate. I happen to think no matter who the Republicans put up would be in the same position. I think Mitt Romney is a symptom; I think the problem is the Republican party."

"Now, last week Laura Ingraham -- Laura Ingraham, Republican commentator, I guess one of your competitors on right-wing radio. She said,'This is a gimme election, or it should be. If you can't beat Barack Obama with this record' -- now we have to go inside the bubble where he has a horrible record, okay -- 'Then shut down the party. Shut it down, start new with new people,'" Maher read.

"You see, this is why you guys will continue to lose. You think it's about new people, it's about new ideas. You need new ideas, not new people. Whatever people you put up there, whether it's Mitt Romney this time, whether it was Rick Santorum --Herman Cain said today he could be doing better," he said.

Ron Paul Electors May Cost Romney the Election


Ron Paul Electors May Cost Romney the Election

Contrary to the mainstream view that Ron Paul supporters have returned The Shire to write comprehensive Things We Would Abolish lists and plot of the rise of Rand Paul, Paululons are not done wrecking havoc with Mitt Romney's electoral plans. The Associated Press has found three Republican electors — in Iowa, Nevada, and Texas — who are considering not casting their vote for Romney even if he carries their state's popular vote…

"They've never given Ron Paul a fair shot, and I'm disgusted with that. I'd like to show them how disgusted I am," said Melinda Wadsley, an Iowa mother of three who was selected a Republican elector earlier this year. She said she believes Paul is the better choice and noted that the Electoral College was founded with the idea that electors wouldn't just mimic the popular vote.

The defection of multiple electors would be unprecedented in the last 116 years of U.S. politics.

In addition to several plausible scenarios that would create a 269-269 electoral college tie, sufficient defections could also deny either candidate the 270 votes necessary to secure the presidency. If so, the presidential election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where each state delegation will be required to vote as a block, and the vice president will be selected by the U.S. Senate by majority vote.

If a majority of House delegations remain Republican while Democrats hold the Senate, Mitt Romney may win the presidency while Joe Biden holds on to the VP slot. At which point, the electoral college would finally begin to approximate an actual American college. Nobody graduates from it — at least not on time — but it sure does inspire a lot of binge drinking.
