Huntsman, the most reasonable candidate can get no traction in the polls at all. Romney has to move to align himself with the lunacy more every day. The reason that the Republican primaries is a clown show is that Republican activists listen to Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. When your pundits are certifiable, there isn't much hope for the party.

I do think our rightward slide over the past several decades serves to assist the insanity, but it isn't responsible for it.

Odd that Greenwald wants to blame Democrats for every.single.thing that is wrong with politics today. He criticizes the clown car and blames us for what's wrong with them. Odd that.
