But I do agree with your central point, that this is going to be nasty. Way nastier than 2008.
Republicans did learn a lesson from 2008. McCain actually played pretty nice during the campaign. He didn't go after Obama nearly as hard as I expected him to. That won't be the case this time. The gloves are going to come off and it's going to get ugly, especially if Newt is the nominee.

The media does not want a landslide. Who watches the news when one candidate has a 20+ point lead?
