The Presidency @ the top of the ballot is NOT the election.
As has been demonstrated repeatedly, it’s the House and Senate and the State Legislatures that matter most in determining the course and future of the country. It matters NOT what the POTUS wants if Congress isn’t going to deliver it. Alternatively, it matters NOT what we think we want if we don’t take care to elect a Congress that WILL deliver.
I want ‘almost’ anybody ‘not Obama’ waving the baton and will figure out how to vote against him when the time comes.
JimR’s point seems to be ‘ ... Well, we can’t have the POTUS we want THIS time but we MUST get rid of the POTUS we have AND pick up every Congressional and State Legislative seat we can get’. Seems an adequate strategy for this and every future election cycle.
‘Eating our own’ because we don’t have the POTUS nominee we want is simply self-defeating.

There is a difference between not getting the POTUS nominee we want and getting one who is on the other side. Romney is a progressive.
I’ll vote for him and then go home and take a shower.
