The rivers of money flowing into the campaigns, and the secret political organizations for the Republicans is a bit daunting.
The only people to benefit to any degree from the economy of the last 30 years are fighting so that the rest of us can shoulder the burden of running the country they have shifted to us.
Its a bit shocking how naked and rabidly partisan it gets. Government by whacky billionaires club.

The line of Range Rovers, BMWs, Porsche roadsters and one gleaming cherry red Ferrari began queuing outside of Revlon Chairman Ronald Perelman's estate off Montauk Highway long before Romney arrived, as campaign aides and staffers in white polo shirts emblazoned with the logo of Perelman's property -- the Creeks -- checked off names under tight security.
A New York City donor a few cars back, who also would not give her name, said Romney needed to do a better job connecting. "I don't think the common person is getting it," she said from the passenger seat of a Range Rover stamped with East Hampton beach permits. "Nobody understands why Obama is hurting them.
"We've got the message," she added. "But my college kid, the baby sitters, the nails ladies -- everybody who's got the right to vote -- they don't understand what's going on. I just think if you're lower income -- one, you're not as educated, two, they don't understand how it works, they don't understand how the systems work, they don't understand the impact."
Wow. "Stupid poor people, you just dont' get it."
Really?
