If we keep delaying this, it sends out a message that our side is unstable, undecided and completely lacks unity.
The General public pays very little attention to politics, but they do note that this Republican food fight is starting to effect the outcome. We are creating a strong image of weakness to the voters. The behavior of the malcontents among the base is creating the image to the rest of the voting world, that this ideology is the cause of our own failure.
We really can't afford to let this drag on much further if we hope to win the country back. And the general public is too far gone and ignorant to even understand what is at stake. They will easily vote Obama back in, like they voted for him in the first place.
We seem to be on the same side often, but I’m respectfully not sure I agree.
Any publicity is good publicity, as long as we (all) start to think how despite honorable differences based on deeply held convictions - we can once the time comes - shake hands and turn our attention to the real adversary.
Look at how fascinated the average Jane and Joe in America are with shows like “Survivor” where contestants are one by one voted off the island.
I see the GOP field as a sort of long-running Survivor episode.
The longer the focus is on the contest, the less Obama has a monopoly on the message, and the less time the left has to slime our eventual nominee.
It’s all good.
