If the Republicans put up another dud like John McCain, it won’t matter anyway. Obama will win re-election no matter what the polls on his policies say.
Everything will hinge upon the candidate we put forth. We’d better be on our game this time.
My guess is that given a crowded Republican primary field we will inevitably get a 'moderate' (RINO) nominee. A moderate will inevitably go down to defeat against Obama. The party needs to provide clear policy differences with this administration and not be gun-shy (can I still say that) about controversy this will inevitably create.
