And that is the problem. The Repulicans who claim to represense "conservative" ideals have had 4 years to figure all this out. The past 6 months have been a disaster for that party and anyone who wants to see O out of office. Every day it's been something different from a wide array of mediocre at best candidates. Now there's talk of that twit Palin trying to get back in the race.
The Dems are licking their chops because Obama will get another term.
If and when the Republican party can ever pull themselves together and 1) Made good on their promises, 2) Learn a little something about the American people (half this country is Democratic) and how to sway them, and 3) Most importantly, stop harping on social issues...they will regain power.
