Running The Gamut From A To B
By now, most of the Republican electorate has pretty well decided to vote for the lesser of all evils instead of voting for the best candidate. None of these guys is perfect for each constituency and there are enough warts on all of them to decorate Macbeth's witches for generations to come.
Romney is an empty $4,000 suit, Giuliani is a one-trick pony (9/11, as if I had to say it!), Huckabee plays the religious right like a banjo and John McCain simply looks angry all the time with his few smiles forced through clenched teeth. As for the rest of the field...are there any others running?
These guys keep invoking...pathetically...the memory of Ronald Reagan; no one wants to remind the voters that two... count 'em...two Bushes came after The Gipper. Interesting that no one...except John McCain...even mentions Bush/41 or Bush/43. Gosh...I wonder why!
The economy seems to be intertwined with Charmin, home-ownership is declining, the dollar is in free-fall and quality-of-life is dropping therefore I can't see even one issue upon which a Republican can or should stand for election.
Republican primary voters may indeed opt for the candidate who creeps them out the least.
