" ... if Romney continues to show weakness in the polls and his ultimate RNC nomination proves likely to fracture the party ... the GOP elite will be more inclined to fracture the DNC party rather than abandon the investment they've made in him. Loosening the strings on the bag of cats that is Obama's eligibility problem would provide just such a fracture. Watch for a cat to be permitted to sneak out of the bag as Romney's performance continues lackluster."The cats are seeing a glimpse of daylight lately. We are the trail blazers and we serve our purpose ... appreciated or not. To your analogy, ctdonath2, we are trying eat right and exercise so we can avoid all the things you describe, including the congestive heart failure. Supporting Romney is akin to sitting in front of the television with a bag of chips hoping nothing bad will come of it.
My analogy was not intended to imply you had a choice of “neither” (and neither did I when it happened). Sometimes, despite best efforts (be it healthy eating/exercise or voting conservative in the primaries) you end up with a choice between two very nasty alternatives, and you MUST pick one - and not picking one IS opting for the worse outcome.
