it has been my hope since the debate over the stimulus began so long ago, that the economic conditions underwhich it was sought would result in "CONverts", or more repubs for Obama this fall, or at the least, more of them staying home that day. Despite the unnecessary human misery repub policies have promoted and perpetuated in the past, and their failure since 2010 to produce much in the wake of their half-win, BHO and the dems appear to have moved things in a positive direction, which hopefully won't escape notice. And given the resurrection of the Ryan plan, their attacks on workers, women, young people, voters, people of color, etc, etc, etc, I think BHO is heading towards a victory in size not unlike the one he enjoyed in 2008 when the rightwingnuts dubbed him the messiah in hopes he'd clean up their mess in a fraction of the time they took to create it.
But then of course, one shouldn't underestimate the ability or the desire of the common rightwinger to cling to the stupid, like they do to all the countless lies they've been spoonfed in the interim. It takes a special kinda con/repub to finally realize, accept, and acknowledge they've been had, and the first step is the brains that most of them lack. And of course we see what happens when those that do, like a Bartlet, Frum, etc, manage to overcome the spell -- their former peers give them hell, while being unable to justify it, kinda like they can't all that manufactured outrage they stoke against that alleged socialist/marxist pres we have. This is of course not to say that BHO and the dems don't have flaws of their own, given the rightwing-lite nature and character of much they propose and support, but at least they occasionally do something or try to, for "we the people", as opposed to exclusively for the corporate person.
The only thing I haven't figured out is what they more desperate about -- the rising brown demographic tsunami they can neither deny nor ignore, or the rising ocean levels that threatens their strangle hold on political power in this country, since they both raise the spectre of the necessity of socialistic solutions in their dark minds, whether that's a valid pov or not in both cases.
One thing is for sure, they most fear they'll drown in the brown at the moment, if the Martin case can serve as a barometer.

I'm really surprised they haven't connected him to the new black panthers yet.

There was little doubt that as the media voices clamored louder and louder about the Trayvon Martin case, that the cognitive dissonance under which most conservatives survive would be grasping for something—anything—at wouldn't make them feel icky about the realization that they would have done the exact same thing George Zimmerman did (and be responsible for the death of an innocent child, guilty only of Walking While Black). So quickly, conservative sites like Malkin's and media outlets like Fox started looking for ways to cast doubt on the story. Suddenly, George Zimmerman had a broken nose that wasn't in the original police report. Pictures of the baby-faced Trayvon were darkened to make him more menacing. And if that wasn't enough, now they're resorting to using pictures of other African American kids with threatening postures and 'thug' clothing.
