I am all for debate and a good choice of candidates but we have had that for 6 months. We had 10 interesting candidates who were all great on some issues, and terrible on others. What I think is bad is not that we have 5 double-digit candidates to choose from but that apparently none of them is even close to unifying the party after 6 months of non-stop campaigning and a debate or more a month. The media is buzzing Obama to make it look like a race but the beast will wrap that up in the next 45 days. That leaves her 8 months to raise money, build organization and take daily potshots at the GOP which will be glowingly covered by the DBM. The GOP looks like we will be spending all spring and maybe up until the convention running attack ads against each other. A unified grass roots campaign team will not be built. We will have nothing but a party self destruction to the tune of “Rudy is no better than Hillary, Fred is lazy, Mitt is a flip flopping Mormon, Huckabee is Slicky Willy II, and McCain a traitor to the party. I just wish someone would pull ahead, and whoever really can’t stand that guy could coalesce around one choice against that guy. That way in the end at least a majority of the GOP would have their guy. As it stands now we may end up with an under 30% nominee.

I’m currently reading a bio of JFK-—it’s amazing how recent this notion of “unified” parties is. JFK was struggling for the nomination well into the primary campaign, even to the convention.
