2. The GOP won't be giving up jack IMHO

They want it all, badly- and could potentially win it all. They may not like Romney much (if at all) but they DESPERATELY want to get rid of President Obama and Romney/Ryan is their only "vehicle" for doing so. For the record, I believe that President Obama will win re-election and our chances of holding onto the Senate have gotten better. I'd like to think (and hope) that we could win back the House too but we may not be able to win back enough seats to recover from the 2010 washout.

The bigger question for me is what will the Republicans do- after stacking the deck so high against President Obama and the Democrats- if/when President Obama wins a second term and/or the Democrats hold onto the Senate (though that could be another topic in and of itself)?
