And for God’s sake, let’s get some new faces in there while we’re at it.There’s just one thing they forgot: dynamic candidates.             ……………………Another massive miscalculation by the Republicans was the emergence of the super PAC. In past nomination battles, candidates have dropped out almost immediately after they lose a few primaries or caucuses in a row for one simple reason. Money.

Obama.I think those Repubs are blowing smoke….either that or they're *playing* themselves.Nobody…and I do mean NOBODY…is excited about Mitt and EVERYBODY knows it. The "base" can't stand the man. Their disdain for him equals almost that of their disdain for the President.Will the "base" turnout to vote for Mitt in November? Yes. But I don't think it's going to be in large numbers. And they sure aren't going to do much_if any_ground work for him.
