Is the Republic Doomed?

SEE HERE It's hard to underestimate the ignorance of the American electorate apparently. If they can't see the difference between Mitt Romney (granted that he is not my favorite candidate) and the absolutely awful current occupant of the White House than we will get what we deserve. It may well spell the end of the Republic as we know it. It is already battered and a shabby shell of what it once was, but it is still standing. After four more years of Obama that seems much more unlikely.
