No worse than 2008 (D), possibly better. Remember how bad that was and how it went on for ever and ever. The result ended up being good.
Now your just being a partisan hack.
This isn't even comparable to 2008.
Yes, 2008 wasn't over until June. This is March.

I'm sorry, but this is complete and utter rubbish.
Despite some bitterness, Obama and Clinton were pretty much line-ball on issues and what they were doing was hardly isolating to Independent voters... this GOP nomination race is doing nothing but airing all of this extreme right-wing policies... and unlike the Dem race when there was some very left-wing stuff floating around... the candidates didn't publicly embrace them.
In 2008 the race unarguably made Obama and Clinton better candidates (mind you it was too late for Clinton) - each week makes Romney look weaker and weaker and his campaign is not responding.
Jemimah Wright? Clinging to God and guns? Punished for having a baby? The three AM phone call? Are you serious?
Yeah, the primary was nasty and mean. I think everyone knows that, but the 2008 primary was about two candidates whom the base actually liked duking it out for the nomination. 2012 GOP primary is about a weak frontrunner who can't close the deal.
The only thing they may have in common is length when it is all said in done.
