As far as the candidates go... time for Santorum, Bachmann and Huntsman to bow out.  Matter of fact, Bachmann and Huntsman have the appearance of being Willards' stalking horse in the last few debates.  Perry up in the polls?  They attack Perry.  Cain up in the polls?  They attack Cain.  Romney?  They play softball.  Where the Romneycare individual mandate thrashing?  Crickets.

Santorum?  Sucks on immigration but does have valid discussion on the creation of a National Sales Tax that could in fact be another Congresscritter TARP disaster.  Ultimately, Santorum has a snowballs chance in hell seeing the Oval Office unless as a cabinet member.

Gingrich?  Damn, I wish he weren't such a proven douche with baggage.

Ron Paul?  Thanks, but no thanks.  I'm not really interested in pointing my ass to the West five times a day and learning to expand my Arabic vocabulary before the Big Guy calls me for the great dirt nap.  Ron's a disaster on everything beyond monetary issues in the hands of Keynesian economic theoreticians.

Perry? Oh, hell no!  Perry started with a state budget at roughly $49 billion and it's now at $90 billion?  In ten years?  WTF is any different between him and Bush 2.0?  Or, for that matter, his Al Gore loving Democrat past?  He has Big Government written all over him.

Romney?  Oh, mother of Hades!!!  See this blog for any further explanation on Willard for why not to vote him.
