Pat Tumor = bad example. This isn't 2010.
It not being 2010 doesn't mean his formula for uniting very different types of voters is worthless.
Please understand the topic and point being made before you post. Thanks.
It's probably not a good idea to compare the mid-term strategy though with the general considering that if that race happened in 2012 (with the same political environment), Toomey probably loses as the number of democrats that would have showed up would have exceeded the increase in GOP voters.

Implementing a strategy that appealed to a broad group of voters,
not narrowly focused on the base, has nothing to do with what the result would have been if it was a Presidential election year. If the strategy was to just appeal to the Republican base, you'd have a point. That wasn't the strategy. I've made that clear. You and others keep talking about the result in a different environment, not the strategy. You're comparing apples and oranges.
