A Maxist and a Center Left Socialist. What do we choose? I predict a low voter turnout and Obama wins by default, i.e Conservatives either staying home or voting 3rd party.
I posted the following on another response in this thread. Instead of feeling so defeated, I am not sure we shouldn't feel encouraged that we have lasted this long against such a formidable opponent... and it's time for the people of deep courage to dig down deep and double down.. it's not over yet.
According to this, the RNC thought they had it all wrapped up six months ago - that's not too shabby for a band of Davids against a monied Goliath...
TOP GOP Official: We “Do Not Consider Perry a Factor… We Know Who it is Who Will be Our Nominee”

"Those words were spoken today by Georgette Mosbacher, RNC Finance Co-Chair and huge GOP fundraiser, after Chris Christie’s announcement. The “we” is all the big bundlers, fundraisers, and money folks who have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the field to be set — and that quote represents the coalescing around Mitt Romney that is expected to happen rather quickly now. Mosbacher went on to say:
“I think tomorrow, we’ll be contacting one another and probably put something together with Romney… And I would say that the race is now Romney and Obama. Quite frankly, the enthusiasm wasn’t there at the outset. He’s less conservative than a lot of us would like. However, our first and foremost goal is to defeat Obama. And we do believe Romney, in terms of independents, will be a strong candidate. We will coalesce behind him now… the time has come to get behind him… Tomorrow I’ll be on the phone all day. Quite frankly, it’ll be easier, because now we know who it is who will be our nominee. So we will pull our Rolodexes out and get to work.”

I will tend to disagree with this ultimate D.C. insider, another person out of touch with reality.
I will say this, the one issue that will defeat Obama regardless of Romeny is $4 to $5 gas on election day, that is the one thing that dooms Obama, a real pocket book issue that he frankly just doesn’t care about!!!!!!!!
