Remember that raw_input() is what actually asks you a question and stores your answer somewhere. You only ever ask the question one time in your code, then keep re-checking the same value over and over, without anything to ever change its value.
In a case like this, it's helpful (especially if you're new to programming) to step through the instructions you've written for the computer, one at a time, and repeat to yourself what each step is accomplishing.
