8. I think you have Democrats confused with another, lesser, political party...

You know, the one whose membership apparently dislikes their candidate, until he lies his way through a manic, bizarre debate "performance" and then they all get hard & wet for him suddenly.

I suppose the damage is done in that regard - many Republicans who didn't want Romney are now apparently for him (that was probably going to happen eventually anyway - most people in that party would vote for the Devil himself if he were their candidate.)

Democrats (and hopefully most independent voters) know that the President is far and above the only sane choice this year.

Gibbs is right - instead of wringing our hands, or as I like to say - curling up in the fetal position - we need to act, even in a small way, if that's all we can personally do.

...regardless of how our candidate looks at a 2-hour televised event.
