The powers to be in the GOP don't give a rats ass if they win the presidency in 2012.

This is 1996 all over again, and the higher-up powers would rather not waste any time with the presidency in 2012. Another Bob Dole type candidate will run against Obama and lose.

In the mean time, they are building a new group of 'Bush Brothers' - governors who are getting strong names in the press who will be groomed to run in 2016. I think back then the GOP wanted Jeb as their candidate but he lost his governor race in 1994 so they had to go with George. But by the time 2000 rolled around, they had George secured as their candidate of choice and they had Florida and Texas already protected as wins for the GOP (even if they had to cheat to get there).

There are no more Bush brothers nor are their any other children of famous GOP politicians available to run. But instead we have a host of GOP governors that will be groomed to win in 2016. And while only one of them will be chosen as the candidate of choice, the others will do what they can to secure the win in their respect states including Wisconsin, New Jersey, Michigan, Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania. Expect to see wretched redistricting and a flurry of voting laws to help prevent alot of people from voting (people who tend to be democrat).

Our goal? I wouldn't worry too much about Obama - unless he decides to broil a small child and dine on him while burning the bibles all while televised by Faux News - he should be able to win fairly easily. But the GOP would like to still keep us discourage, try to divide the party up a bit more because disgruntled democrats means nothing when it comes to Obama, who will win, it will impact the races downstream and benefit the GOP.

If anything, I know I would rather spend more time helping local races. I know Tom Carper will win in a landslide here in Delaware so my eyes will be more focused on Pennsylvania, where the GOP would love to go after freshman Bob Casey Jr. Or if Bob seems to be holding his own, I'm sure we'll have tough races with other freshmen up for re-election with Bob Menendez in NJ or Ben Cardin in Maryland.

I don't think we can get the house back but I'd like to try, but we need to hold on to that senate else we could be back to 2000 all over again in 2016!
