I disagree. I think you are going to see a backlash from conservative elements within the Republican party who begin to ask, "are you kidding me? THIS guy is our nominee?"

I would've thought that would've happened by now. Romney only won the conservative vote by 10, and the Republican vote by 2 (or so I'm hearing). And obviously, Huckabee remaining around is a problem.

It may yet happen (I certainly hope so), but I think after tonight the odds diminish.

Your party is dangerously close to fracturing and running a third party candidate. Irrelevance could be a mere 9 months away. Republicans don't know what their party is anymore, or where they want it to go. They are living in the past, trying to find a Ronald Reagan to fit into the 21st century. In the process, they might discover Jimmy Carter instead.

I don't think a backlash would have happened already, by the way. Republicans have been dancing around trying to figure out which of the 5 candidates is most like Reagan. They went so far as to find an actor to run for president. Now that the party is down to two people, and the frontrunner is nothing like Reagan, you will see a backlash. It is all a bit desperate and amusing from my perspective.

Heh, rumors of the Republican Party's demise are greatly exaggerated. Don't you wish.

The party is experiencing some growing pains, no doubt, but I'd rather have our internal debate be over issues than over race. Worry about your own problems, mate.

Your internal debate was over race, at least in 2004 when Bush accused McCain of having a black baby.

At the end of your debate, we got Bush. At the end of our debate, we can get Obama. We win.

Is it possible to short sell Cali? Every prediciton he's made this election has been spectacularly wrong. It's comical.

Every prediction? I think I have been pretty close on most of them. Care to compare?

Your have been very cock sure in saying that Romney and Obama would be the nominees. Pretty close. LOL. I guess that's one way to put it.
