Don't worry about “voter apathy”. There is a low turn out for every Primary on all sides. And you might want to reframe your definition of “hope”.
You had better “hope” that Santorum does not win, and does the right thing and drops out so we can build a strong offense around a solid candidate to go against Obama.
If this struggle continues much longer, Obama will walk away with it again, because our side of incurably weak and chaotic. That impression alone, will have a major effect on how the ignorant American public votes for a candidate.
And who do you envision that being, if there is not a brokered convention?
Oh...no...I’m so scared. Obama might win a second term! Guess what? The odds of that are just as high if we nominate the GOP’s version of John Kerry as if we fight it to the convention. If you want to back the liberal flip-flopper from Mass., go ahead, but don’t expect me to hop on your bandwagon out of fear of Obama.
“If this struggle continues much longer, Obama will walk away with it again, because our side of incurably weak and chaotic.”
The reason Obama will walk away with it is because the GOP is on its way to nominating a candidate who believes in socialized medicine, restrictive gun control, forcing Catholic hospitals to provide contraception, global warming, cap & trade, etc. He also is proving to be a candidate that will say anything and spend any amount of money to get elected.
The reason Obama will walk away with it is because based records (not rhetoric), there is no difference between Romney and Obama...other than the fact that Obama’s tax plan defines the rich at $250k, whereas Romney defines it as $200k.
This loser couldn’t even beat McCain...now you think he will win against the $1Billion dollar Obama political machine? Because Romney won’t be able to contrast with Obama on any issue, he will lose in a manner that will make Carter look Reaganesque. Romney’s only claim is the economy...if the news spins the economy as improving, its over.
“....so we can build a strong offense around a solid candidate to go against Obama.”
Is it possible to build a “strong offense” when your candidate is about as “solid” as a wet dog turd?
