disclaimer...
i will NOT be voting for the pubs.
i want to see if any ardent dim/libs etc on here will cede anything, or continue to blindly (for the most part) say dims, good, pubs bad categorically while rarely that i've seen do you cast that lazzzer beam focus on your own party for all of its follies, foibles and fvckups.
slam the pubs all you want, but send some on the other side of the aisle where it belongs...there is more than enough blame to pass around.
granted this is just the start, but with a beginning like this there is surely more to follow.

Obama Campaign Sends Around Misleading DNC Video on GOP Debate

At last nights Republican debate, the seven candidates talked about unemployment, taxes, regulations, former Gov. Tim Pawlentys talk of a goal of 5% GDP growth, the individual mandate in the health care bill, the Independent Medicare Advisory Board, welfare reform, the Tea Party, currency policy, the National Labor Relations Board, Boeing, TARP, the auto bailout, Rep. Paul Ryans Medicare proposal, former Gov. Mitt Romneys health care program in Massachusetts, raising the debt ceiling, raising the retirement age for Social Security, the role of religion in public life, the 10th amendment, Libya, Afghanistan, and so on.
But President Obamas 2012 campaign is sending out a DNC video suggesting the candidates spoke only about sharia law, an anti-gay-marriage amendment, repealing health care, Sarah Palin, and the space program.
You should watch this, says campaign manager Jim Messina in the email to supporters, if you or anyone you know is wondering where the leading GOP candidates want to go, this clip makes it clear. The first big Republican debate last night was like a time machine. They want to go back to the failed policies of the past that caused the economic crisis in the first place. They want to go back and reopen every settled debate that they've lost over the last few years -- on the health care law, on Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and on reforming Wall Street's abuses. They even want to turn back the clock and end Medicare as we know it.
Messinas general argument that the candidates want to repeal many Obama policies health care, Wall Street regulations, and so on is correct.
But the video, which Messina calls a highlight reel and the DNC titled What in the world are they talking about? selectively uses clips from the 2-hour forum suggesting that the candidates were focused on idiotic issues, or battles from the past, when all of the topics the video hammers the Republicans for talking about were ones they were asked about at the forum.

There were several multi page threads started here, or are you talking country wide, where last nights GOP debate focused pretty heavily on all the ways that the prospective right wing loonies are going to repeal the Bob Dole health care plan signed by a Kenyan Bolshevik Muslim two years after the fact?
