Arm twisting and back room deals with the old guard got them Romney, such a poor candidate he got humiliated, not merely defeated. However, he was "electable," meaning he didn't scare Wall Street.

They're not going to be able to do that a second time. Teabaggers and religious crazies will have had another 4 years to sharpen their claws and demand a lunatic like Santorum or Paul in the top slot.

If they fail to agree on a candidate, I won't be a bit surprised.

I just hope the fist fights are televised.
