We cats now will leave the unfortunate subject of "Transvaginal Bob" McDonnell to focus on the sorry state of the 2012 Republican clown college.
(This was a tough decision, because hot on the heels of tamping down his state-sponsored-rape bill, Transvaginal Bob has had his legislative minions in Richmond shove "personhood" to the back burner until after the Presidential election. What a craven political opportunist we have in Transvaginal Bob. But at the same time, we were awfully sick of looking at that ultrasound picture.)
So. It seems that the GOP had a clown confab in Arizona last night. We cats didn't watch a moment of it, but we admit we're confused.
See, after Willard Mitt Romney's surprise "victory" in Iowa, his romp in New Hampshire and his crushing-of-the-barbarians in Florida, the Republican nomination was supposed to be all wrapped up by January 31. Yet, here we are, facing another life-and-death, game-changing pair of primaries next week.
Not only that, but Willard is behind in Michigan, a state he was supposed to win in a walk. Here's how dire things are for Willard in his much-ballyhooed home state: If he picks up a point a day, every day, between now and Tuesday, he only wins Michigan by less than five points — less than half the margin he had over John McCain four years ago.
How's that for inevitability?
Then there's Arizona. This is a state that a month ago, no one figured would be on anyone's radar because it was a lock — a sure lock — for Willard. But here's Rick "Don't Google My Name" Santorum, within the margin of error there.
Again, what happens if Santorum holds Willard under a majority in Arizona, or holds the victory margin to five points? What if it's closer? What if Santorum wins? Don't get us started on what happens if Willard wins one/loses one next Tuesday. The questions are too numerous and head-spinning.
Therefore, we cats spare you any more revolutions du tete. The bottom line is that Mr. Inevitability could go into Super Tuesday having lost three, four, five or even six of the previous seven nomination races.
Who could ask for a stronger nominee than that?
