It all fits.
The Republicans need to neutralize the Tea Party. With those loonies deciding the primaries and nominating knobs, the Republicans will never win another general election again.
The 2012 election is a made-to-order opportunity to put the Tea Party back in its basket. Those wingers hoist an unelectable knob. The knob goes up against an incumbent and loses. It’s all the Tea Party’s fault, and the Republicans beat them into jelly. The way is clear to run a real candidate in 2016.
Meanwhile, back at the White House, the Current Occupant pushes Republican ideas beyond the Republicans wildest hopes.
A total win. The Republicans get their own base in line while they gain on the policy front. And by 2016 everyone is so fed up with poverty-while-Democratic that Republicans win in landslides at all levels.
The good news is that if the Republicans miscalculate and we actually get President Knob, the Democrats may well win big in 2016. On the other hand, considering what the Democrats have become, maybe that’s not good news.

Yeah, I was waiting to see where you’d take that. The reality is more like this: the Dems put an unre-electable knob in the office. The Republicans will win the next round big. Then there won’t be a country in 2016. Nice job, America.

I agree, especially since the current knob was actually selected. Hillary won the popular primary votes by quite a bit, but the Dems dealt with that by declaring several piles of votes invalid. He’s not just unre-electable.
However, if the Republicans want to hand it to him on a plate, he might win the same he did last time, by votes against the other guy.
