issue and offer any specifics on how you would specifically go after Romney. What an utterly ridiculous charge.

Romney will be a formidable candidate in this election. There is no question of that. He will have a massive warchest, the R base's hate of Obama will motivate them, he has some indie appeal, and the economy remains a real challenge as it slowly works to dig out of the Great Recession. If you don't see all that, then I think you are the one with the blinders on. (He is VERY beatable, but he will be formidable.)

As to the Dem base, they will indeed STRONGLY support Obama as they essentially do now. We just had Iowa for example. 25000 turned out, 7500 volunteers signed up, and only 1.5% voted "other". Obama got a 98.5% endorsement. And 7500 volunteers. That is AWESOME !
