I agree with the sentiment you express in #7 but with an explicit qualification:
The nomination of Willard Romney by the Republican Party will mean the certain re-election of The Kenyan King.
I understand what you are saying in #7 and I am not disagreeing with the concept you express, but I insist that nominating Romney will be a disaster of epic proportions.
Yes, it would be.....but we can only blame ourselves for not taking control of the party.
60 votes in the Senate to end a fillibuster and ratify? I really doubt it. Especially after the 2012 elections, which right now forecasts the Repubs holding 57 seats.
