can we just cut to the chase already?

.
to the red team:

it's gonna be mitt.  it was always gonna be mitt, because that's who the money wants; the others were merely a collective sideshow whose individual stars were programmed to rise and fall in rapid succession leading up to iowa and new hampshire.  ron paul's stubborn refusal to go quietly wasn't part of the plan, but he'll be dispatched quickly enough--in fact, his assassination is already well underway.

so, face it--you're stuck with a loser, whether you want him or not.


to the blue team:

unlike the red team, you're blessed with a candidate who inspires fierce passion among the rank and file of your party, and who wins regardless of what the match-up turns out to be.

problem is, she's not about to challenge an incumbent who's willing to hold your party hostage with his automatic lock on 90% of the black vote regardless of how spectacularly unfit for office he's proven himself to be.

so, face it--you're stuck with a loser, whether you want him or not.


to america:

either way, guess what?  you lose.

Well sir, I disagree.

The reason there has been a number of "other than Romney" folks rising and falling is that for the majority of Republicans (I dare say...certainly for the majority of conservative Republicans), Romney is unacceptable.

Bill Kristol is representative of that very large wing of the Republican party and he was begging Chris Christie (and several others) to get in the race.

The country club Republicans have coalesced around Romney, but the Christian conservative voters have not and probably never will.

So, the Republicans have a very tricky situation. This is the most likely scenario: The field clears and there is one or at most two opponents to Romney. You will then see a real match up. If there is only a single opponent to Romney left standing after the South Carolina primary, it is likely THAT person will get the nomination.

Right now, while Romney has the clearest path to victory, the anti-Romney vote is the majority and if it can find one person to support, Romney will lose.

As for the Democrats, I personally do not think that Obama is "spectacularly unfit for office." In fact, I think that is just the sort of hyperbole I would see on other, less enlightened blogs.

Indeed, a warming economy will have Obama re-elected in a walk.

But, then again, as you know the real story is quantitative easing and the coming destruction of fiat currency particularly the United States Dollar and the person that matters most is Ben Bernanke.

Right Guttermorality?
