He's a smug functionary of the most mechanical type: to the manor born and with the gall to presume any real awareness of the lot of the peasantry.

Still, contrasted to the rest of them, he's not so repellent. At least Huntsman seems to have a scrap or two of decency. Perry's just a sub-moron. Gingrich is just meaner'n a snake and as trustworthy too boot. Santorum is delusional as only a lucky simpleton can be, but he's dangerous because he's at least consistent. Huntsman seems to have some decency, but can't get any traction, so he's the only one who isn't some version of repellent in a big way.

It must be driving them nuts: sitting on a volcano of money and with a very flawed opponent who's having trouble from his own base (Obama) and they can't come up with a standard bearer who doesn't make them gag.
