    I laughed

    I laughed when I saw Broder pimping for Bloomberg on the front page of the Washington Post.

    Wait! Maybe this means the Post really is a left wing paper? Because, the only possible effect of Bloomberg is to be the "Perot" and split the Republican vote. So if the Wash. Post is pushing Bloomberg, maybe they want to see a Democrat in office? And why would they want that? Well maybe they've decided that the Republican field is SO bad that they rather have Hillary Clinton in office for 4 years and then run against her with a more reliable corporate fascist (I don't know... maybe Jeb Bush?)

    Who knows. I think it is all about Huckabee fear, and the realization that Romney is a truly robotic and inhuman entity, and the rest are barely electable for other reasons. It makes no sense to me... but then the thinking of Republicans never has made any sense to me.
