but it's a topic that only works in favor of the democrats. the more the republicans tie themselves to something that causes a gag reflex in rational people, the better.
so shhhh.

I'm most interested in this election result in Congress:
Only about 30-36% of Americans rate themselves as proudly associated with the most extreme elements of the 2012 version of the John Birch Society: ObamaHateMuslimKenyanSocialist stuff
So that leaves a huge center gap of "rational Republicans" who recoiled in horror at the GOP primary freak show of Bachmann, Perry, Gingrich, plus abhorrence for truly extreme crazy folks like Alan West, Steve King, Joe Walsh.
They probably voted McCain 2008 - but Romney? They've watched the last four years of House-Senate GOP sabotage against everything, and they are not happy. Government needs two parties and cooperation to work (like Christie working with Obama in the face of disaster)
I can't wait to see if the Tea Bag 36% can hold their congressional seats, or if rationality will overtake the non-TeaBag portion of the remaining GOP that now calls themselves "independents".
Obama will win, that's a given. He's got every swing state but NC. The Senate will remain Democratic.
It's the 25 seat difference in the House that will reveal which way this nation wants to go.
