It's this: There is a chance Obama could be defeated without a third-party interference. With Paul or Trump in the mix, that chance is gone... completely. Say hello to at least four more years of Obama.

I wish I could be as optimistic as you, but I see Romney as McCain without Sarah Palin, and we have the same election over again.

The chances are that it will be anyway. As the conservative representation in this campaign falls away, I`m not optimistic this election will be anything other than a default win for Obama. Like I mentioned earlier, if we`re going to dilute the GOP vote, let`s at least make it entertaining, and draft Sarah Palin to run as yet another indie in addition to Trump and Paul. It`ll dull some of the depression so many of us will have as we watch Obama sail to a landslide reelection.
