10. I have said that he is the most dangerous guy in the GOP field. I've been saying it for months.

He's the only one who doesn't make a vast percentage of the population vomit.

And the thing is, he's no ray of sunshine--he has some creepy viewpoints, he just couches them in an aura of mature reasonableness.

He's probably the only one who will make Obama have to work hard to win. He'll get the "Don't Like Black People" vote, even from those who don't care for his social policies. He'll get the "This Mormon is better than the sleazy Brylcreme Mormon" vote from people who don't like Mormons. He'll get the Stupid Idiot Oogler vote from people who like his hot daughters.

His daddy is rich and he has set up a well-funded PAC that makes commercials suggesting that JH is the only adult in the room. They are playing quite well.
