I want to get this 2012 prediction out there today, because the Iowa caucuses will take place tonight. Mitt Romney will be the Republican Party’s nominee for President. He and Jon Huntsman are the only serious choices left in the race, and the Republicans will go through — indeed, are currently going through — what the Democrats did in 2004: brief, passionate flirtations with energetic, emotional candidates, and then sobering up and picking a grownup.

” He and Jon Huntsman are the only serious choices left in the race”
I assume you mean “serious” as in “grown up,” not “serious” as in “with a legitimate shot at winning?”
Oh, that the latter were true for the latter candidate.
That is true, as to both comments.
I actually took it as “a legitimate shot at winning if they got the nomination.” Which I consider to be more true of the Mormons than the other remaining candidates.
I hope you’re right. Can you honestly imagine President Santorum?
I can, actually. And I can also imagine myself moving to Sweden when it happens.
That’s quite a statement coming from a Canadian.
It’s depressing that someone who is mendacious to his very core gets to be called a “grownup” just because he isn’t also insane.
