"Police protection" is an oxymoron. Gun laws are like masturbation, they both feel really good, but after you're done you realize you haven't accomplished anything."

I don't think the 47% sunk him. Didn't help, of course, but in the end his and his party's ideas were soundly rejected. Why vote for the guy who wants to institute the plan you don't agree with?

It didn't sink him alone, but ask most people which gaffe they remember most and I guarantee you that the 47% remark was the beginning of the end.
Arguably, what sank him started way back in Iowa, when a former moderate decided he was going to pander to the Michelle Bachmann type crazies, and then KEEP doing that all the way up until, by my count, debate #2 where he then magically turned into Obama. Or was it #3? I can't remember. Kinda late in the game to be shaking that etch-a-sketch.
So we got the best of both worlds: a plutocrat throwing out misleading memes about taxpayers (when he's the biggest tax dodger of all) who ALSO aligned himself with tri-corner hat-wearing morons who want to scorch the Earth because they hate Obama just that much.
