Reply #6: Romney has clearly been the establishment candidate from the start.

And the media has cooperated with them in that big time.

Even as Cain led Romney in the polls, the press was saying Cain is not a serious candidate (the very same media that had pronounced that winning the meaningless Iowa straw poll meant that no one could deny that Bachman was now a serious candidate--even though she said the first shot fired in American Revolution was fired in New Hampshire, a rather ironic mistake for a Tea Party candidate).

Honestly, the Party establishment choosing a candidate and the media acting as their accomplices both sicken me so much.
