<<<< I don't care who's "exciting". That's for idiots>>>

Clearly the "excitement" for Obama is what propelled him past Hillary and into the White House. Exciting for a presidential candidate is a good thing and it seems to me - given your desires - that it would be way advantageous to have the excitement behind a democratic candidate than a republican candidate.

<<<<Are you suggesting anything that is a remedy for stupid? No>>>

Well, yes I have been suggesting a remedy; find someone in the democrat party that can bring some excitement to the race - someone who gives us a reason to get out and vote. Someone other than "more of the same". I mean the democrat party is looking like the party of the stale and old. I don't think stale and old is going to win the election. Certainly is no reason for people to get "excited" like they did for Obama. The party needs a Reagan or a TR or and FDR that can bring the huge issues of the day to the American people so they can have a cause to fight for - GW for instance! .............Pragmatic issues such as scaring about SC nominees will get you a few votes, but not votes from the masses. Not the votes to win - unless of course the republicans fail to pick a sane candidate themselves.
