And the Winner Is...
... "None of the Above." That's what the latest AP/Ipsos poll says the Republican rank-and-file's favorite (23%) choice is among the Rethug candidates (and non-candidate) for president. Rudy McRomney is second with 21%, followed by non-candidate Fred "Foghorn Leghorn" Thompson at 19%, Walnuts at 15%, and (ha-ha!) Willard "Mutt/Muff/Mousse" Romney at 11%. Two observations: when nearly a quarter of your base doesn't get excited about your candidate selection, you're in deep doo-doo; secondly, Willard's puny 5th place showing is a lesson to all those pols who adopt his "I'll be anything you want me to be, as long as you elect me" approach to running for office.
