I agree with everything until the very last sentence. I am generally a pessimist , and I was worried too until I realized that for once it's the repubs and not our party that is shooting themselves in the foot and grabbing defeat from the jaws of at least a possible victory. I think they have marginalized themselves to the point that even the inevitable relentless spin from the corporate media about how Romney is a "moderate" etc will not fool enough people this time , as to who and what the repubs have become.
I would love to copy this and post to facebook, but will not do so without your permission first.
Thank you again.
