Despite all of Paul's numerous unelectable qualities
I listened to a few NPR call-in shows today, and at least two Iowa-Paul voters said that if Paul didn't get the Republican nomination, they'd be voting for Obama. The Republican field scared them silly.
I think that while negative campaigning might "work" in the short term, it also buys the Republicans the kind of voters who can support the clown car candidates they've got now. Republicans are now reaping what they have sown. If anything, these voters will force Romney to move to the right, and that will alienate the independent voters both parties need.
Crazy times ahead? For sure, but I still think the grown-up in the room will prevail at the end of the day.
