Their hope the Dems would be split are clearly dashed. Their hope the Dems would fail to make the case McCain's policies are more of the same as GWB's are dashed. Their ability to characterize Obama as unloyal or elitists will no longer be listened to. The hope they would have an opponent unwilling to strike back when faced with the same same Republican negative campaign tactics are gone. The hope Obama would not take on security threats against the US is fiction. Any hope they had regarding Obama's ability to inspire and bring new Democart's to the polls is certainly gone.
The last hope, convincing voters Obama is not ready to lead is all the Republicans have left. So to quote Obama when referring to debating this issue
"bring it on".
I'll watch the Rep Convention with great interest to see if they can be as effective as the Dems were. They will need one hell of an effort to counter what can only be graded as an A+ effort for the Dems.
