It amazes me that the rednecks and religious nuts would rather broker a convention than get behind a centrist candidate. In their minds, Romney may as well be a Democrat. I think he still gets the nomination, but Obama doesn't even have to campaign to beat him.
PPP came out today with a figure that won't matter (or might?) 9 months from now, still worth noting:
The poll finds that 58% of Democrats were "very excited" about voting in this year's election, as compared to 54% of Republicans. Six months ago, enthusiasm tilted towards Republicans, 54% to 48%.
"Generally you would expect voters to get more excited as the election gets nearer. That trend is occurring on the Democratic side, but not for the GOP."
I have no trouble believing this.
