11. It's Too Late Baby...

You hit a big nerve that won't be healed. Just cruise over to Freeperville and you'll see the angst of the great unhinged that won't be glossed over by whomever wins the nomination be it Millard, Noooot, Rectorum, Mooselini, Jebbie or John Wayne...it doesn't matter. There are a lot of raw feelings out there that is ripping the rushpublican party to shreads...and we're not even counting the Paulbots. Many on the wacko right are still pissed about backing Gramps McCain in '08 and won't support another "RINO" while the "establishment" would rather tank an election than see a Cadrich or Rectorum as President. Either scenario assures that turn out will be down on their side and even if its 5 or 10% that could be the difference between a close election and a landslide.

For those thinking some "great white hope" will emerge are pipe dreaming. Whomever is the nominee will not only need to fire up major coin virtually overnight but also put together a campaign organization that is competitive in the "battleground" states...and this is supposed to happen in late August? Good luck with that one. Or that other campaigns will turn over their staffs for a brokered candidate? Yeah, right!

We'll see "lets make a deal"...delegates bought and sold...and my bets its Mittens who does the most buying. That's how rushpublicans roll...
