bob dole's nomination was essentially a concession of the election.

The tepid support of the mainstream rethugs and the stridency of the paulistas are just some of the signs of bain romney's weakness.

I expect that President Obama will, as President Clinton did, ,ildly improve upon both his electoral and popular vote margins in an election that is never truly in doubt after Labor Day. Of course, we STILL have to work our arses off to make it so. Just ask president dewey.

PEACE!
