    So? The Repubs don't have the balls or desire to stop the juggernaut they've created. The Demos don't have the guts to stand up and say that this was all a mistake and none of the Libs or Repubs would vote for them if they did. And the Greens and Libs don't have a chance in hell to field anyone who'd win. I mourn for my country and fear that it must soon be only my country of origin.
