What was The New York Times's Nate Silver just saying — that it's not crazy or impossible for another candidate to join the 2012 Republican clown college, even at this late date?
We cats fully expect that chatter to begin anew, as a fourth woman has not only alleged eewy behavior on the part of "Herb" Cain but — unbound by any legal settlements or payouts — has just held a press conference and provided all the disgusting details. Ugh.
Should that 2012 chatter gear up again (and in some respects it already has), it will represent many Republican dilemmas:
- Fear of Ron Paul and his whackjobs;
- Fear that Newt Gingrich has somehow managed to survive his disastrous launch;
- Grief that Jon Huntsman is going nowhere;
- Relief that the same is true of Rick "Don't Google His Name" Santorum;
- Disgust at the disaster that is pain-pill-addicted Rick Perry;
- Equal disgust at the folly that is Herb Cain;
- The knowledge that the famous quitter from Alaska and her doppelganger from Minnesota are both unelectable;
- But, most important, the ongoing distrust and contempt for the prospect of Mitt Romney taking the Republican nomination, sticking it in a dog crate and driving away to Canada with it.
