Winners, Losers of the Freak Show

Last night's freak show demonstrated two undeniables. This is a race between Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. From what I saw Romney looked cool and calm. He even defended Social Security and hit Perry right back with some George Bush lines on job creation. That is general election material no doubt.

Perry, on the other hand, appeared to be trying too hard. Yet he said all the things necessary to win the GOP: he loves to execute people, Obama is a liar, etc., etc.

The other contenders are just there to be seen on teevee. Bachmann is done. Ron Paul ruined any chance he might have had, which was none really, when he said he feared a wall on the Mexican border not to keep people out but to keep Americans from escaping with capital. Newt is a has been. Santorum is possessed by demons. Herman Cain stands not a chance in Jim Crow that he'll ever be nominated. And Huntsman did the unthinkable thus ruining his chances forever when he said science was real. Yes, these people are nuts. No doubt about it.
