It doesn’t really take stupidity on the part of Republican voters to nominate Romney. It takes a load of Republicans-For-A-Day in the Primaries to nominate Romney and if the kenyan doesn’t draw any serious opposition in the Democrat contests then that is what we will get. Effectively, Romney is the Democrats’ alternative to the kenyan. They probably expect to lose the election so they might as well get a president who, while not an organizational Democrat, will preserve all their gains until they can take back the Congress in 2014 and the WH in 2016.

Unfortunately, I believe your analysis is correct, and this creates an obstacle in the primary that we will need to overcome. Still, I think the Tea Party will be highly energized this cycle and it will be much more difficult for the Dems to pick our nominee this time around.
