You have correctly identified the ‘real’ object of the exercise as removing the incumbent.
Getting there, however, requires a serious investment in ‘retail politics’ which seems to expose your tender sensibilities to various unpleasantness and unhappiness with the messiness of the process.
Man up, Dude ! Welcome to the ‘real world’ ...
‘Our guys’, as you so casually labelled ‘em, had better be able to ‘stand and deliver’ in the very messy process you so decry — what do you suppose they’re going to get from from the Donks come September and beyond ?
You can’t seriously expect they deserve some kid-gloves treatment from us or whoever — ‘If you can’t say anything nice, say nothing at all !’ — and then expect ‘em to survive the kind of campaign the Donks will deliver.
Keep your eye on the prize — Dump Hussein Obama ! It may not be pretty but it’s the only system we’ve got to get the job done.
Complaining that FR somehow looks and sounds too much like ‘retail politics’ and that we should somehow ‘cool it’ and make nice is a remarkably lame political ‘strategery’ and / or point of view.

I think we here on FR still do our share of examining Obama and his ilk. My message was really directed to Rush. I don't know how else to say it. But he directs quite a bit of the debate, and these days he's directing it in the wrong direction.
