GOP Establishment take that to mean their candidate should be as squishy as that squishy 8% they’ll ultimately need.

Thats also Obambi's take. The problem is, squishy doesent look so good when things seem to be failing all around you and you are the incumbent. So all the GOP has to do is put somebody up there that isnt as null as Ozero.

The side the GOP is missing is the massive effort to scare the squish voters from their opposition. Obama sometimes did that once or twice removed, but he was very active on that count.
