Frankly, it's too early to be bringing out anti-Romney material. We should focus our efforts on getting rid of the REAL crackpots and despots, like Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry. Once Romney is nominated with our help, then we can ensure he gets all that he has coming to him in the general election process.

I'll be blunt. The GOP needs to be utterly destroyed, but until we have individuals with BALLS on our side of the aisle who will take the necessary step to constitutionally BAN The republican Party, we have to play the games as they exist. Just use it to our advantage.

By the way, I'm working on promoting Ron Paul in Iowa. The ideal situation would be to have Romney win the GOP nomination, then for Ron Paul to go rogue with a 3rd party candicacy. If that happens, we split the GOP vote, Obama wins with ~39% of the general vote, and we go to town with executive orders for four years, ignoring Congress and the courts if necessary to get our progressive agenda established.
