re: #20 BryanS

I’m sure you’re right that Dems are happy about the selection. Democrats were also very pleased when Reagan was the nominee for the 1980 election. But this selection makes the election about important budget and fiscal issues rather than whether Romney killed some lady with cancer, spends too much on his horse, or mistreats his dog. If the GOP has such a bad platform, then you should be happy that Romney is going to actually run on it. Whoever wins, so be it. That’s what elections are for.

Yeah. You’re right. This election is about whether Obama ate dog meat and whether or not a zygote is a “life”; does the Spaghetti Monster dole out “natural rights”; and if snow disproves climate change science.
