Bob Krumm:

My suspicion is that if Republicans pursue this “we’re not quite as bad as Obama” strategy, they will continue to lose. The country will lose too. The President’s budget proposes crippling levels of debt. Eight years of this kind of spending will wreck the economy. If we’re lucky, it might also wreck the stranglehold that the political class has on our country.
