@High Seas,
I agree to a point, but you have to put them in there place once in a while, otherwise their whining gets uncontrollable.
I guess Palin would win, but I don't want her running for president in 2012. I have nothing against her - she is awesome, but the hate directed at her from the left would hurt our politics.
I think we need to run less of a high profile target, win the election and let Obama leave the white house with his dignity intact.
