Reply #33: The GOP is in such a muddle right now that just about anybody [View All]

looks good to THEM. Jeb never ever looked good to US. So I'm hoping he is carted away on a camel caravan and left in a remote desert venue, and soon. He certainly sucked as Governor of Florida and he would suck even more as President.

On the other hand, Romney cash and ambition may not be enough to secure him the nomination. Huckabee can turn on that Sunday school preacher charm but he's behaving like he doesn't really want the nomination that badly. The second-tier candidates are lackluster, unaccomplished, or morally askew, or all three. Haley Barbour is actually a competitive presidential candidate for the GOP in a field with very little competition. Which is not a good sign for the Republicans. Pretty good indicator for us, though.

This voter has endured the ordeal of two Bushes in the White House and as I count it, that's two Bushes too many. 'None' would have been exactly right. 'Two' is two over the tolerable limit.
