The Republicans look like they have a big problem, with a raft of unqualified publicity hounds and unknown radicals, but they have had this problem before and dealt with it. The Republican party has a strong party machine behind the scenes and they are good at closing ranks once the candidate is selected. The Democratic position will depend on the economy and that is really about it. If the economy recovers, Obama will coast into a second term. If it doesn't, then he faces a fight. If the economy crashes again he might not even get the nomination. Jay

Also the independants that voted obama in are the same folks that voted out the dems in congress. They would prefer a split government as the last two times a single party controlled everything it got bad fast.

It's not split government that's the answer, it's changing how you select the people who get to run for office.
