The GOP is stuck because it's schizo. 2012 will be its recompense.
Here is some Peirce Logic:
Excitation
We have more money, an endless spigot. We can attack like mad.
Brute Fact
The GOP has, since Obama's election, has behaved miserably and thrown any claim to serious conservative principles out the window. It is at best schizoid and media should report it as such.
Third
GOP should seek some light under the tunnel that it's built. Experiment with being more centrist for a change. Less hateful. If money becomes the the issue the GOP will lose.
