seems to be the main GOP *strategy* for 2012. I don't necessarily believe, however, it's going to drive people to the polls enough to vote for somebody like Romney because most people don't have the same blinding rage and hatred towards President Obama that they do. They may not agree with all of his policies but that seems to be mainly because they think most of his policies don't go far enough, not that they go too far and I don't sense an overwhelming desire for the Republican's preferred economic policies and I think that that will become clearer as the two parties hold their conventions and, particularly, when the debates start and people can see what each side is pitching and I sincerely believe that they will prefer President Obama's policies over R.MONEY's.
