GOP in a mess.....

The Grand Old Party of the Republicans is in a bad state.

The party is seriously divided between moderate (Republicans) and right wing (Tea Party). This division has led to some nasty debate that in turn has acted to weaken the Republican majority.

The far right is a bit looney. By embracing a political extreme, they cut themselves off from mainstream voters.

The bigger problem is the absence of a candidate who can move voters. The growing list of wannabes does not help as it disperses election fund donations. At present, not one single candidate can pass the acid test of being able to unseat O.

Most maddening of all, however, is the fact that I am even talking about this. We already have election fever and it is still a year and a half before the election. How about some electoral law reform while we are at it?
