I don't feel that way today.
I don't either.  Not at all.  Mitt and his team have really been sharp to date.  The heckling of Axelrod was dynamite, as was the surprise press appearance at Solyndra.  His media team has been topnotch as well.  He just CANNOT cave during the debates.  I hope he will accept some coaching from Newt. 
It helps that he is being thrown under the bus on Bain Capital, and private equity in general.  That's a long list, including Clinton, Booker, Hoyer, Ford Jr., Patrick, and others.  I'm feeling pretty damn good.

In 2008 I took a break from politics. By then the GOP had lost it's way big time, the dims had already done their damage in the House and Senate. I knew McCain was going to lose and knew that Pelosi and Reid would keep their positions. I figured we were screwed, and to some extent I was right. Then 2009 rolled around and I was hearing talk of the Tea Party and by the time November of 2010 came around I knew we had a chance.

So here we are in 2012 and the people in congress that we put there haven't got done what we wanted however there have been some people trying. That is why this election is so important so we can get Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, Michelle Bachmann, Jim Demint, Allen West, Marco Rubio, and others that I forget, some backup. If we can at least get a Repuke in the white house, we won't have to deal with 0bama's veto pen, and we may be ok after all.

I'm with the two of you.  '08 just seemed like McCain didn't have the fighting ability.  Everyone on Earth knew that the Dems would throw everything they could at McCain, and all of the inhabitants of the Earth knew that McCain wouldn't take the fight to Obama.  

Everyone on Earth now knows that Romney isn't going to play that way.  The Dems sowed the wind in '08, and now they're going to reap the whirlwind.  They have no one to blame but themselves.  They started it--we're going to finish it.  It's going to be scorched-earth, but at the end, it'll be worth it.

The wookieyeti was just rearing her ugly head in 2008. She had to say on 2 occasions that previously she has never been proud of America in her adult life. I wonder what life is like as a wookieyeti who is not proud of her country.

I ponder things sometimes and what I've been pondering is the necessity of McCain.

Whoever the GOP nominee would be in 2008 was doomed to lose. The romanticism, justified or not, in electing America's 1st half non-white president was just too strong. Not only were there those too star-struck to resist but they would not permit others to get a word in edgewise.

If you were going to sacrifice a GOP candidate would you sacrifice your best hitter or would you hold him back for when he has a real chance?

I wonder if perhaps the GOPPTB were thinking these thoughts as well.

Gotta ageee with ya, Snugs.  Also, this way McCain wouldn't come back and ask for "his shot" in 2012.

I dont think that was the case at all. McCain was neck and neck and even ahead until the economy tanked and some other last minute gaffes. Also McCain became the nominee way before the Obama / Hillary fight was over. So I dont think McCain was setup to take the fall and as evidence by this years primary there wasnt any big nominee that jumped in. It was the 2nd place finisher from the '08 primaries who only got stronger in the 4 years. McCain was the best we had in 08 and it wasnt good enough.

No one was going to overcome the tsunami of white guilt that rode owebuma into office. We as a nation have recovered from that hangover.

If that isn't the truth, there were people I spoke to online on various boards who voted for Obama because they wanted to say "look at me look at me I'm not racist I voted for a black man".

And this is a good thing in more ways than one.

Obama destroyed the notion that liberalism is the home of competent people of color just because they happen to be people of color.

That means the next black/hispanic/whatever that wants the Chief Executive position will have to win on merit.

When that person does win on merit they will be a proper role model for all Americans.

It's painful and backhanded but in his own way Obama and his staggering incompetence were theraputic for this nation.
