The GOP roster according to Kim
Kim Du Toit sums up the GOP slate in a spot-on bit of analysis:
The Republican candidates in a nutshell:
Fred Thompson: the only true conservative in the race. No wonder he’s so far behind. Liberal Republicans hate him, and conservative Republicans are either stupid, apathetic or our views are so far in the minority that his candidacy will be irrelevant.
Huckabee: backwater religious populist / economic illiterate / foreign policy yokel. That’s not going to do real well in any state where the average Republican voter has an IQ higher than room temperature.
Romney: smooth-talking East-Coast liberal Republican and Big Government apparatchik. If he wasn’t a Mormon, the Establishment Republicans would be fawning all over him.
Giuliani: Romney, with an authoritarian streak. Power-obsessed uber-lawyer.
McCain: maverick (polite word for “self-serving asshole") authoritarian.
Other than Thompson, I wouldn’t trust any of the above with my gun rights, either.
Paul: still an asshole. He did okay in Iowa because of the stoner student vote in Iowa City. He may do okay in New Hampshire because those morons once voted for McCain (!) over GWB, so anything’s possible.
Gah.
Honestly, I can't remember a more open primary season -- and one with so many uninspiring choices.
Four RINOs, a raving moonbat, and one lonely conservative.
Sigh.
