How Much Money Is Rove Prepared To Pour Down The Toilet For Mitt's Sake

I know he's the establishment choice and it's sad really that he's the best the once proud party has but I'm convinced he's unelectable, no matter what they think. He's had an easy ride so far and once the Obama oppo gets going, time will expose what a weakling he is. There's something about him people just don't like, though they can't exactly say why. Maybe it's his Beavis and Butt-Head laugh. Anyway, he's riding high these days but pride goeth before a fall and he's due because his hubris is reaching a critical level.

1. Watching this Republican primary, including the media, it becomes more and more obvious that

primary winners are pre-ordained by their party's establishment (some would say simply by the .0001%) and all the rest is kabuki.

Remember that story about a speech Harry Reid made to Democrats saying Obama was articulate and clean cut, or whatever?

Almost everyone looked at that purely from the race standpoint.

I saw that, but I also thought, "Why was Harry Reid trying to sell Obama to high-powered Democrats before the primaries even began?"
