re: #211 Sol Berdinowitz

And Romney lost because he was not “True Conservative” enough…which is true to a point, he was not RWNJ enough to motivate the base to come out in droves to support him.

But anybody that crazy will motivate a lot of otherwise moderate voters to get out and vote to ensure that they do not get in: the Aikin Effect.

Very true, and when the moderate voters do turn out to defeat the bad crazy, they go on and on about “The vote was a fraud! We were robbed!” and that sort of conspiracist nonsense.
