The Republican nominee, whoeverthehell it might turn out to be, has got a hard row to hoe until the convention in August. I'm told that it will be in Tampa FL this go-around.
We've seen pretenders come and we've seen pretenders go. I'm told today that Gallup says that Newt Gingrich's numbers are slipping, and that's to be expected. Pretenders come and pretenders go, and until the voting starts it's hard to know who'll wind up on top. Iowa and New Hampshire will start separating the sheep from the goats, and by late July or early August, we'll know what's up.
I'm not really worried about it. Let 'em rise or fall at their peril. Eventually we'll pick a nominee, then we can all get behind him or her and move forward to elect a President. This is all part of the process, folks. Don't get too worked up about it.

Don't get worked up? Hard not to, since the Stupid Party is falling right into a (D)onk trap.
The (D)onks just wait, making only low background noise, until one of the interminable "debates", then they fire a broadside or two. Easy-peasy. A 5-year-old knows how to do that, and a six-year-old knows not to expose himself to the broadside a second time.
The Stupid Party doesn't realize that all this "debating" is doing is giving unlimited targets to the (D)onks. That's just simply not fighting smart.
The Rivrdog program would have looked like this:
1. Assemble all the wannabes in July (this year), and tell them that the RNC will conduct several SECRET polls, and use the results to invite the TOP Three to any debates that would be held, but there wouldn't be many, and NO candidate would go to a "debate" sponsored by the minions of the (D)onks, which means MSNBC, etc.
2. By now, there would be front-runners, but the RNC could say that their vetting process was incomplete, which would spread out the counterfire from the DNC.
3. Everything starts in earnest after Iowa.
There's been entirely too much exposure, and the RNC is conspicuous by it's absence in protecting the candidates from the DNC attacks.
The way the RNC is cocking this campaign up so badly, I'm beginning to believe that Obama will be re-elected, just by the stupidity of the Stupid Party.
