For gosh sake don't HAND the election to the GoP

It's getting depressing now. The Dems are willfully tossing the election and IMO another Republican administration will founder the US. [I've been a registered Rep since I was 18 - but I'm a 'small gov't, no gov't interference, no colony grabbing/war mongering, for gosh sake we -need- social programs Republican']

Problem is that the Dems are trying to be Republican-lite and just sucking at it. Obama is caving to the pressure and has gone as focus-group-crazy as the other pols. Why can't -someone- keep a spine and run for office?

I consider myself a conscientious objector to the politcal process, but I do like the fact that this is the first election since Reagan, I believe, that has a lot of people showing some passion for the process. When Bush Jr. ran the first (and second) time, my overall impression was that the voters shared a 'who cares' attitude. This election, it seems everyone has an opinion, and doesn't hesitate to share it with me. . . at length. . . usually while I'm trying to concentrate on something important (but that's a rant for another time).
