As far as I’m concerned, these Republican primaries could go on till December. By then, President Obama would have already won the November elections and public opinion of the GOP would continue to erode.
But seeing that my wish for a December Republican primary debate is highly unlikely, I’ll settle for poll results like this:
Four in 10 of all adults say the GOP nominating process has given them a less favorable impression of the Republican Party, versus just slightly more than one in 10 with a more favorable opinion.
Additionally, when asked to describe the GOP nominating battle in a word or phrase, nearly 70 percent of respondents – including six in 10 independents and even more than half of Republicans –answered with a negative comment.
Some examples of these negative comments from Republicans: “Unenthusiastic,” “discouraged,” “lesser of two evils,” “painful,” “disappointed,” “poor choices,” “concerned,” “underwhelmed,” “uninspiring” and “depressed.”
And perhaps most significantly, the GOP primary process has taken a toll on the Republican presidential candidates, including front-runner Mitt Romney, who is seen more unfavorably and whose standing with independents remains underwater.

Yeah, you know that, I know that, but sometimes my friends to my left put their particular dogma ahead of the country, like they did in'10.
Seeing what the other side is offering as an alternative, there's no other choice but to get out and vote. The choice is like night and day – move the country forward with Dems, or take the country backwards with Repubs.
Now…if we can get the "Professional Left" to get off their hands and GET OUT AND VOTE in November…
