REPUBLICANS: "My God, what (an effing) mess---A loss is what the GOP's political class NOW expects."

4. Yes indeed. You're spot on, connecticut yankee!

Things their operatives have said or suggested lately strongly indicate they're giving up on the White House this year. For example, grover norquist saying all they care about is a robot "president" whose only reliable skill is the ability to hold a pen so he can sign his name on various pieces of paper they put in front of him. CLEARLY they're not looking to be able to wield any power from the Oval Office. But remember: they don't EVER give up entirely. They just regroup and focus somewhere else. The House and Senate - AND the STATEHOUSES!!!! Look at what's happened around the country since all those republi-CON governors took over, and state legislatures turned from blue to red. LOOK what's happened!

We ALL have to remember - they're not only working to subvert whatever Obama can try to accomplish in a second term. This doubles as a long-term stealth campaign to build bench strength for the future - so eventually they CAN take over the White House with a Trojan Horse candidate who looks and sounds good but is evil to the core. We have to watch out, EVERYWHERE!!!!! And just because we might work toward a win for Obama, that does NOT mean our work is DONE! That's what women thought immediately after Roe v Wade, too, and LOOK what's happened!!!!! That's what the peace movement thought when we finally got out of Vietnam. And LOOK what's happened!!!!! That's what ALL of us thought when we finally got rid of richard nixon. AND LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember what Mad-Eye Moody always warned Harry Potter: "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!!!" The enemy NEVER goes to sleep. Which means we can't afford to, either.
