We cats find it interesting that while the Romneybots don't seem to have control of their campaign — the last we checked, Willard and his running mate were disagreeing not just on the budget but also on lifting the Cuban embargo — the Republican Party hasn't exactly got a grip on itself, either.
Latest case in point: Cliff Stearns lost his primary in Florida last night, a shocker. Not just because he was sitting on a huge wad of cash, but because he was bested by a teabagger with no experience, less money, and the improbable name of "Yoho."
You can bet that the folks over at Planned Parenthood are celebrating. We're not sure how the lamebrains at Susan G. Komen feel, unless it's "Oh, damn."
And what do we cats think? That despite another Florida election yesterday in which a veteran Republican trounced a teabagger, the Stearns defeat is just one more instance of a high-ranking member of the GOP falling to a clown, in a primary over which the party should have had control. A guy who was elected as a quasi-reasonable conservative a hundred years ago runs farther and farther to the right, and still doesn't insulate himself from the wackos. Incredible.
Oh, and let's not forget that Cliff Stearns had been endorsed by the ever-batty Michele Bachmann and Allen West, and by someone named "Paul Ryan."
