It's funny how in just a couple of months Rick Perry has gone from the Great White Hope of the right to the bottom of the standings. I guess he overdid the anti-intellectuailism bit: it's one thing to show contempt for learning and education and quite another to come across like a dumb-ass. Herman Cain is being dogged by multiple accusations of sexual harrassment; he should complain about a "high tech lynching" (it worked for Clarence Thomas.) Michelle Bachmann has antagonized even her former supporters.
It seems that the GOP establishment has lined up behind Mitt Romney. Not that I'd want to see him in the White House; he wants to cut taxes and go on a military spending spree, and he claims he's going to "balance the budget." This is how we got into the mess we're in today. In any case the Fundamentalists and the Tea Partiers are going to learn that it's the big corporate interests that are really in charge.
