No republican has the vast network Obama has (vote, Congress, candidacy)

[tropolis]

I was on barackobama.com and then went to mittromney.com and it wasn't even comparable. Obama has a individual state page for all 50 states giving people information on events, meet ups, stories, blogs, etc. Romney has nothing like that.

It looks like Herman Cain is trying to do that on the other hand. He has a 50 state initiative, has you create an account where you can have friends, groups, plan a event, create a group, etc. He just doesn't have the base Obama has though, which makes the site look empty.

Haven't checked out Santorum, Bachmann, Gingrich, Paul, Huntsman, Perry yet.

Well Obama's got the advantage of incumbency. He doesn't have to contest his nomination so he can run a 50 state campaign. To quote Herman Cain it's apples and oranges. The GOP candidates have to focus on the important early states.

For what it's worth Herman Cain's running a "50 state" campaign because he's not actually running for President. His candidacy is a joke to raise his profile, sell books, and land a Fox News gig. He's running a "national" campaign because he doesn't have the resources, or the organization to put boots on the ground in Iowa or New Hampshire. He's simply not running a serious campaign.

That is easy to answer: the GOP has 3 or 4 candidates with massive support and the rest with some. Right now, the Democrats have one: the imccumbant. When we get closer to convention time, after the primaries I would expect things to change.

I don't see the GOP coming together over anybody this time around, except maybe Rick Perry.

The conservative evangelical base will NEVER support Romney, not even to get rid of Obama.

The GOP strategy over the past forty years has been to keep the Extreme Right in a cage, and throw them enough red meat to keep them enthused enough to vote for the Republican stiff each cycle. Well guess what- someone left the cage open. The extremists are running the show now, and they want one of their own. They WILL NOT abide Romney as a candidate.

Brokered convention? Third party? Civil war in the ranks? A Sarah Palin surprise???

Pass the popcorn!

You may have a point here. During the 2008 campaign I once registered at an Obama site in order to post. I wanted to post a correction to an error they had made in a discussion of gun control.

What a mistake. Every since I registered, I have gotten spam emails, mostly from David Plouffe. I later saw a news story in either the Seattle Times or PI.com where people were complaining about getting spammed by the Obama campaign. I doubt that any GOP candidate can match this spamming capability.

Romney is doing more of that through social networks like facebook. There are lot of groups on there and new ones starting up daily. I know that the Obama campaign is highly organized though, to the point of being a little scary. I am not sure how they get some of their information about people they email but it's strange to say the least.

You're right Nita, and let's not forget Obama's 3 years of economic failure, broken promises and lies.

That right there is going to take millions of dollars of spin. Obama now has his record to run on. A vast network lies, BS, spin and Liberals can't erase it either.

You're right, the only way he can win is against a total doucher, kinda like '04.

Voting for the president of our country is not about who has the coolest webpage or how many webpages they have. Its about what they can do for our country ... or in Obama's case ... what he as done for our country.
In that respect Obama has hurt our country and our society tremendously. We don't need Chicago gangster politics in Washington. Obama has done nothing to help us and way too much to hurt us.

This really is the very tired line you Conservatives continue to push isn't it? It stinks. It's wrong. It's misleading. It reflects a continuing effort to ignore the following glaring realities:

1) For 8 years before Obama was elected, you Republicans showed that there isn't one thing that you know how to do right.

2) Since Obama has been elected, you have continued this trend.

3) The economy is stalled because of your narrow-mindedness on taxes and your historically pathetic loyalty to Norquist.

4) This President has compromised and given Republicans their way, and as a result, Bush still lives. It's obvious that when Pubs get their way, the country falters.

5) Congress is broken and the most pathetic, worthless version in history because of Pubs and tea party.

6) The current crop of Pub candidates are pretty damn sad. No way the GOP is going to unseat this great President.

Nonsense your view here. Enjoy President Obama's second term.
