Regrettably, I agree. (BTW, while I will vote for Romney, I don't think he can win a general, for some of the reasons you list).

We have one good inspirational story from the Bible, where one of the Israelites (Joshua, I think) was going into battle with 30,000, and God said, "Too many. Not dedicated enough. Get rid of some." He got them down to 3,000 and the Lord said, "Too many. Not dedicated enough. Cull out more." He got down to 300, and God said, "Ok, now you have an army that has faith." And they won. Maybe we need a little of that.

Lenin took Russia, a nation of 120 million, with just 20,000 die-hard followers.

The major problem, barring any earth shattering events between now and November, will be the lack of enthusiasm among Republican foot soldiers.

Take a family like mine who usually is out on the streets actively campaigning for our nominee and who save our money up to make substantial donations to that nominee.

We won't be doing that this year and it's going to hurt down ticket.

What a mess we find ourselves in LS.
