here's the problem.
You have a pile of dog crap in your yard. It's the 2008 GOP ticket. And instead of saying "Hey, let's clean up this crap and we'll have a nice yard", repubs say "Dude, the crap in your yard (obama) smells WAY worse than our crap, so therefore we will leave the feces in our yard - and even defend it!"
I'd like to see Hilary or even an Evan Buyh challenge Obama for the 2012 nomination. And I'd like to see the Repubs run a much stronger candidate than they did in 2008. Look, no matter how you feel about Palin, you gotta admit most Americans don't think she's right for the job. Accept it, and please vote in a GREAT repub candidate in 2012.
