You are right about lazy conservative voters who did not turn out in higher numbers for Cain/Newt. I did my share.
I am hoping we all turn out with enthusiasm to turn out Obama out of office in November 2012. Otherwise this country is gone to a 3rd world status by 2016.
Kicking Obama out will, unless some miracle intervenes in the GOP nomination, mean hold-nose-and-check-Mitt. Poor pickings, but Mitt has promised to nullify Obamacare with an EO. This would have to be a different, less liberal Mitt than the Mitt of Massachusetts. But it looks like a bid for survival requires no less of a risk.
