I feel like it's 2007 all over again, only with the parties switched. Which is really weird if you know Republicans, they're known for being cohesive in a way Democrats just are not (that authoritarian streak and all). In a normal election cycle Romney would have long since won. (I'm pretty sure he's going to win this time, which makes me want to gnash my teeth - no one that nakedly power-hungry should be allowed in the White House, no matter what their party affiliation is).

Between how Republican primary voters are reacting to the Republican candidates (at least in polls) and the support of the Occupy protests, it seems like the general mood in the US re:politics is dissatisfaction with a side of anger.
