Will the GOP actually benefit if they lose the 2012 presidential election?

This is not a question, but your thoughts are not accurate. Even Mitt Romney is ahead of Obama and will continue to increase his approval. Obama's approval ratings are heading south.

Your last two hold no merit. The GOP will win and that will end this mess.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
