What scares me the most is that the South, they don't see Palin et al as batshit crazy. They're just seen as normal people that are on the conservative side of the fence.

 

The trouble the Republicans have got themselves into is that they are too beholden to a loony fringe and the rotten Tea Party.The rank and file of the Tea party are basically your poorly educated, Fox news watching, extremist folk who do not know much about politics and are easily lead.The Tea Party leadership though are all rich, white, male businessmen and they have found an easy way to push there own interests through the Tea Party and the Republicans are now in a mess because of them

In terms of Obama he never was a die hard leftie and has always been a social conservative.I think he has tried to rule as a bipartisan President taking all opinions into consideration and he seems too willing to take Republican views on board.Sadly he is giving them to much leeway and too much consideration yet they hate him and will never change and he needs to get back on track pushing Democratic principles.The key voting block will be the Independant voters and the chances are he will hold onto their vote because the extremism, homophobia, racism and sheer foolishness of the Republicans will turn them off just as Sarah Palin sent them fleeing in 2008.

What scares me the most is that the South, they don't see Palin et al as batshit crazy. They're just seen as normal people that are on the conservative side of the fence.
