Yes, tis the Year of total loss by the GOPer Party....they call it a landslide...
The complete collapse of a GOPer strategy to prevent this never occured...too busy infighting..
They forgot what the Dems learned a long time ago...keep the Spears pointed OUT...not in.
Their low level banter during their "debates" gave it away big time...no real answers...no meat..
only guessing and whiney blame pointing...
This is the Year it all comes to a cresendo.....the failing of the GOP and all their money...
Watch for the increasing Positive signs....the GOPers Neg signs pale in comparison...

(15,445 posts)promising, opihi, but we must never 'misunderestimate' the power of all those billions of PAC $s.

When did the Dems learn that?
Traditionally, it was the Republicans who were good at not turning on each other, as per the Reagan Commandment. Dems keeping the spears pointed out, not in?
You're new to electoral politics, aren't you?
But seriously, you're right, the Republicans are totally damaging their brand this year.
As someone else suggested on another thread, the Tea Party is about to go the way of the Know-Nothings from the 1850's. Once that happens, the plutocrats will have to figure out another way to get huge numbers of below-average intelligence people to vote against their own best interests...

(4,458 posts)for negative Ads against themselves right now and later into defeating Obama will be spent for naught. They Banked on the HOPE that we would Not "wake-up" to their lies, nastiness and greed. OWS responded.
I hope they go broke, but sadly-they probably Own the AdCo's that they hire and will just "circle" it back to their pockets, minus the slave wages paid to their workers
Its going to be horrific and We need to stay focused on reality, personal research and asking direct questions.
They have been studying our psychology for decades and know exactly how to visualize and verbalize crap to cause fear AND doubt.
We have already seen this in actions-Frank Luntz is Masterful at the word game.
Just be aware and stay prepared. It's about to get really weird.
