If a Republican tries it, there will be a million Dems on the streets of DC screaming for his blood. They will occupy the halls of Congress (as they did to the legislative building in Wisconsin) and stage a human-wave assault on the White House.
And the press will back them.
Lots of good comments on the polling skewing taking place to create the appearance of a horse race. Romney is on track to win big, 5-8% IMO based on the internals of these polls.
There is another big factor to consider when viewing the skew in these polls. The same bias exist in the polls for the Senate races, if things break right we could go +5-7 in the Senate: PA, VA, FL, WI, MT, MO, ND.
Also factor in Tea Party Senators taking over for RINOs in IN & TX.
Also heard Mia Love leading in UT now.
Everyone just needs to vote.
