I believe that the establishment Republicans of whom Joe speaks do believe that Obama's re-election is inevitable and are only interested in gaining control of the Senate--or just keeping what they have. They are defeatists at heart . . . one reason for this is their insular life-style which keeps them "inside The Beltway" so that all they hear is the Washington establishment-liberal point of view.

I suspect that Romney, or indeed any Republican candidate will handily defeat Obama and the Democrats know this--thus they have created this narrative that the DC insiders have taken hook, line, and sinker to be the inevitable truth.

If they can break the will of the Republican electorate then they know they might be able to win, but if Republicans refuse to buy the BS they're selling, the election in November won't even be close. IF nothing changes substantially between now and November, I predict a double digit margin of victory for the Republican.

It’s really quite simple. An adult will always make the best of what he has to work with while a whiner will wail, gnash their teeth and threaten to take their football and go home. The latter is what we are seeing from the anti Romney people.

To be clear, I am NOT a fan of Romney and had I the choice to make myself I would not choose him. However I believe i do see the reality and the seriousness of another Obama term and believe with the support of all registered Republicans whomever the nominee is will be elected.

Those who say Romney is another Obama are either a bit crazed or else they are liberal plants sent here with the purpose of dispiriting the right.

The very first thing which must be done after a serious injury (Obama) is to stop the bleeding. After that is done the healing process begins. But without the first thing happening there is NO CHANCE of the second coming about.

“I suspect that Romney, or indeed any Republican candidate will handily defeat Obama”

That’s my gut feel. The Obama administration has too much going against it. As Peggy Noonan said recently, Obama’s getting creepy.
