The biggest problem with electing Mitt, and Congratulatons for this GOP idiot establishment, is that he DOES NOT HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE BASE. Consequently, Republican voter turnout will be seriously depressed, causing losses in the down races in the House and Senate. I will be the first to call it. If Romney wins the nomination, we will gain only TWO of a possible 23 seats in the Senate and there is a 50/50 chance we will lose the House.

You are not the first to call it but you are early and it is true. I think it would also be the mortal wound to the GOP. The Tea Party saved the GOP from its near death experience in ‘08, only to be mocked, maligned and betrayed at every turn by that same left wing, big government, big welfare and small liberty party.
Romney’s ascendancy will be the death of the GOP, which on balance may be a very good thing in the long run.
