| Normally, but too much of the Republican voting base hates Romney, so he was basically forced to pick someone they like. ____________________ Cordilon - Minecraft RP, and several other games too |

Originally posted by Stigandr I wonder how much this was really necessary for Romney, though- I mean, the Republican base may not be hugely fired up by him, but it would be cancelled out by how much they dislike Obama... ____________________ Nicole - LV 123 - EP 20776328 |

Originally posted by NicoleOriginally posted by Stigandr They don't want to risk an apathetic voter base, particularly given how enthusiastic Obama's voters were last time around. Of course, the problem with that is that they've also given Obama more material to ignite his own base, what with the Ryan budget and all that... ____________________ Cordilon - Minecraft RP, and several other games too |

Originally posted by StigandrOriginally posted by NicoleOriginally posted by Stigandr The second part is why I wonder if Romney really made the right move- for awhile, the fear was an apathetic Democratic base disillusioned with Obama... but they certainly don't like Paul Ryan's budget. ____________________ Nicole - LV 123 - EP 20793214 |

| Even without that, though, the underlying problem of certain states having more power still exists. Hawaii has 1,374,000 people. California has over 27 times that. Where do you think the campaign money is getting spent? ____________________ Cordilon - Minecraft RP, and several other games too |

Originally posted by Stigandr I would guess in neither state, since as far as I know both are fairly reliably Democratic.  ____________________ Nicole - LV 123 - EP 20809159 |

Originally posted by StigandrOriginally posted by NicoleOriginally posted by Stigandr You just picked bad examples. California has over 37 million people while Wyoming has just over 500,000 people. Yet they both get two senators. In any case, I am aware that the whole point of the senate was to give equal power to every state, I simply find that to be a terrible setup. |
