THE GOP Candidate Vetting Process is Hopelessly Broken [View all]

because the party is controlled by a wacky combination of the pathologically greedy and a creepy doomsday cult.

When you look at the pathetic collection of nuts and repulsive losers that ran, Romney was the "Most Electable". All of the issues that are accumulating were already apparent a year ago, but in Tea-Bag La-La Land, being a modern Robber Baron is an asset.

They couldn't find anybody better because, in a party that thinks Sarah Palin is a gift from God and Newt Gingrich is smart, this was the best they could come up with. There is no Dark Horse, Plan B or even Plan 9. Only the comfort that they really could nominate Charles Manson and still only lose 53-47 as long as he supports tax cuts for the rich, more defense spending, and would be willing to see an (R) next to his name.
