Yes. He'll be fine. Like you, I don't think the nation will fare as well. We still have no uniter in the race. Romney [the one being pushed here as the lessor evil] will not be able to unite the base and his negatives in the national polls are too high for him to win the general by pulling crossover vote. And, of course, the nomination could still go to one of the others.
Without a brokered convention and the choosing of a nominee other than one of the candidates left in the race, we are in a lot of trouble. I don't hold out much hope of that, so I fear we just lost the White House in 08 and with it, judge appointments, the presidential veto, the war on terror, right to life issues, 2nd amendment issues, tax and spending limitation, and so much more.
I can't believe we are in this position going into an election against Hillary Clinton, whom we would have been able to beat...with an energized base and a unified GOP, neither of which we will have.
I agree with your thinking... This is a truly sad day... You know, they say you have to hit bottom before you can recover. I sure hope the nation at large doesn’t have to do that... This is definitely a very low point right now. And, I fear it’s only going to get much worse over the next 4 years.
