Of all the GOP presidential candidates, only Mitt stands a chance. The rest should be soooo easy to beat. My strong suspicion is that Republicans will pull another year-2000 selection: just plain cheat, mostly with voter suppression. They may well take the presidency (literally), but I doubt they can win it with this field of idiots.
This is important to me, because I cannot find it in myself to give my vote to Mr. Obama. His ordering the assassination of people far from a battlefield with no due process of any sort, not to mention imprisoning people for a couple of years without conviction for any crime (e.g., Bradley Manning), has a way of discouraging an old civil libertarian like me from voting for him. But if the GOP field is wretched enough, maybe it won't matter what I do or don't do.
I think the GOP let the clowns out because the economy and the country are still broken and smoking. They'll wait for a few terms until everything is fixed and there is money to loot in the Treasury again....
