      <![CDATA[@10, I simply disagree the GOP failed to reach its possible objectives. By all measures they should have been pilloried until kingdom come after 2008, yet they managed to gain the house in 2010 and retain it by a comfortable margin in 2012, thereby likely ensuring another 4 years of Democratic "spineless" capitulation. Capitulation that was sanctioned by the large decrease in turnout for Obama (minus 7 million vote whereas as noted in my previous post a poor candidate like Romney managed to retain all of the GOP base). How do you think it'll shake out in 2016 if as is probable the economy doesn't noticeably improve or if Occupy doesn't get a second wind?
