Objects in mirror are closer than they appear

I'm not really paying much attention to Republican Idol, 2012--only Romney, Pawlenty, and Huntsman have a chance to be the next President, and Pawlenty and Huntsman's chances are about as slim right now as Popeye's true love, Olive Oyl.

A list:  George W. Bush.  Rick Snyder.  Rick Scott.  John Kasich.  Scott Walker. 

After the talent show is over, after the republican candidates have finished tripping all over themselves to see who can out bat shit insane the others to please the republican base, the republican nominee will surely begin the campaign with a deke to the center:  the compassionate conservative, the business leader conservative, the individualistic conservative. 

Democrats need to quash this right out of the gate by making big blow-up pictures of those on the aforementioned list and delineating their agendas below their names.  There is no such animal as the moderate republican. 

Turning to republicans in times of trouble is about as effective as pouring gasoline on a fire to douse it.  Woe unto any other than the 30% who are too far gone to save who dare to think the republican Kool-Aid isn't spiked once again.

Peace,
