Democrats are extremely gleeful now that the Republican presidential primary is in full swing between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. The idea being the two Republican frontrunners will split the Republican base making their supporters incapable of supporting the rival if he becomes the Republican nominee. However, the same was said during the 2008 Democratic presidential primary battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. In the end, Hilary supporters, who were adamant in their refusal to support Barack Obama, became committed to his candidacy once he became the actual Democratic nominee. The same will hold true for Republicans. The visceral hate some Republicans have for Romney and others for Gingrich will not only subside, it will be replaced with enthusiastic devotion.
