The Obama Campaign, I'm sure, wants a long, bruising Republican nomination so that Romney or the eventual nominee is so damaged, tattered, and torn that he becomes an easy punching bag and Obama can go to bed early the night of November 6. A long primary also leaves the nominee with little time before the conventions and debates to put up too much of a fight. The Republican Nominee wants it to be over in January to give him a good 8 1/2 - 9 months before the debates to prepare.
As an Obama supporter and a political junkie, let's drag this out well into the summer and may Utah, the last state to go, decide the nominee.
