Excerpt
Democrats might have blown off Michigan, but they're certainly getting some goodies from the state. Romney's win makes it all the more likely that the Republicans' indecision will stretch well beyond February 5--all the way to the national convention. It will make terrific theater. And it will ensure that the ultimate Republican nominee--whoever in the world it might be--enters the fall campaign with a divided and perplexed party behind him.
If the democrats would have learned one thing and one thing only from their past two nominees, they should have learned that none of their candidates were battle tested for the big show.
When you play in the NFL, you don't get there without some sweat & bruises. In fact, some no doubters never make it because of a career ending injury.
The same hold true of politics. Clinton & Obama have surrounded themselves with the liberal elite, all yes men. What are they going to do when they get to the big leagues. Unlike the GOP where there's going to be some scars and hopefully some lessons from which to learn.
Unlike the democrats who can't seem to learn from their previous lessons.

I agree. For some unknown reason for the last several election cycles, the libs want to ramrod a nominee through the process. They seem to have a platform already picked out and none of their candidates vear off the party line. It's like they don't want to expose a chink in the armor around their platform. So they are reduced to personal attacks to differentiate.
The republicans don't have that kind of solidarity. We beat up our own platform all the time, but in the end I think it does serve us well. I even wish there were more knock down drag outs in the republican primaries, especially on policy issues. We will have exposed weaknesses by the time of the general but knowing ones weaknesses can help a candidate.
