The Clown car crashing?

[DonCoquixote]

A lot of people are happy to see the clown car crash. After all, if Mitt cannot close the deal now, that only shows how much the GOP dislikes him, and so on..

Watch out: There are two nasty consequences of the GOP fight being longer:

ONE: Brokered convention. Anyone wh thinks Tampa was picked by accident should buy a bridge in Brokklyn. This is a state that elected a crook to the governor, because he was to the RIGHT of Jeb Bush. If they Broker the convention, Jeb gets a head start, mwithout having to have taken potshots, nor having to have spent money on the primary. What should be a mark of failure becomes a cheap way to get elected.

TWO: Mixed focus:
Obama needs to fire at the GOP. If Romney is not a target (and heaven knows he makes a fine one) than he has to waste ammo an Rick and Newt. The problem with those two is that their Religous Base would simply eat attacks as ammo, and they allow Romney to look like the "normal" guy, to l;ure in the independent voters. The key to winning is to make the independent voters see Romney as the weak, creepy bastard he is. Newt and Rick prevent that.

1. ROFL at GOP primary debacle but how did We the People end up with 545 clowns in the car in D.C.? nt

3. Their "base"

will refuse any "dark horse" candidate - let alone a Bush.

And they have so pissed off the independents with the pandering to the extremists and shifting positions, option #2 ain't happening. President Obama is a "known" in a sea of unknowns and unstables.

Even if the indies don't bother with the top of the ticket, where to watch out for the sneaky stuff is at the state/local levels and congress, with the redistricting that has occurred.
