The Republican's opposition is starting to buckle.
Not surprisingly, it's Senators up for reelection (especially in blue states) that are afraid of being labeled as obstructionist.
Somewhat amusingly, former John McCain strategist Steve Schmidt says, "To defeat a presidential nomination, it is usually better to derail it slowly over time — not announce blanket opposition up front." Sound's a lot like the Romney campaign's Etch-a-Sketch metaphor. I'm not at all a good bullshitter myself but here's something I can figure out: Don't TELL them you're going to bullshit them!

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
