Ever get the feeling Republicans may not want to win? [View All]

[casus belli]

It's hard to believe they're really invested in it. I mean they run a guy who fractures the party, who has temper issues, and probably more skeletons in his closet than any of the other candidates they ran (except for maybe Giuliani). They watch the guy unravel in interviews and accept endorsements from controversial figures without saying a word. They talk about him like he's a red-headed step-child on talk radio, and openly question his sanity and conservative credentials.

I mean, do they want to just hand the election to us or what?

I'm wondering if maybe, just maybe, they realize they have gotten in over their heads. Maybe part of them realizes that they just don't have what it takes to run a country without scratching up the paint or totaling it altogether. Maybe, just maybe they want the Democratic party to save them from themselves in the same way the country is reaching out in large numbers to Democrats to undo what their party has done to our politics, to our country and its citizens, to our relationships with the world.

Or, then again, maybe they're just really completely, utterly clueless. Yeah. I'll go with that.
