The GOP is very concerned. It’s finally hitting them that their endlessly long presidential primary is not producing the best results. Those clever Republicans, nothing gets by them!

So now they’re having meetings about it, arguing, and hand-wringing, and fretting that their little Religious War on Women Marathon has ended up benefiting President Obama. What a shame.

Via The Hill:

Many acknowledge privately that they worry a long primary is forcing all of the GOP candidates to spend more than they want and that the candidates’ negative attacks against each other are hurting the eventual nominee’s chances against President Obama. [...]

The two goals were to keep the primary season out of the holidays, and to prolong the system so less-known candidates would have more of a chance and more states would play a role in the nomination. [...]

Most observers still predict that the primary will be all but over by late April and say that would give the nominee plenty of time to raise money and prepare for the general election. But they all said that if the primary dragged into the summer it could hurt the eventual nominee, and that a brokered convention would be a disaster for the party.

Psst! GOP! The party is already a disaster.

    Kinda like shutting the barn door after the horse is out, isn’t it?
    I say NO>>>continue on. It gives the REST OF THE COUNTRY TIME TO CATCH UP……and see what we’ve known for a LONG time: today’s Republicans are NOT good for this country.

    What? Their war on women can hurt them? How about the war on the poor, the war on the elderly, the war on unions, the war on edcucation, the war on any religion but evangelical Catholicism, the war on the Constitution, the war on minorities, the war on freedom of speech, the war they want to start with Iran…I’d say once you demonize everyone who doesn’t look exactly like you and believe exactly what you do, you are probably screwed in a national election. What’s surprising is it took the GOP this long to realize that they…rich white men who never did a day’s real work in their lives…are the vast minority, and that WOMEN vote!
