6. Obama and Clinton like each other. No love lost between Romney and the radicals.

Gingrich and Santorum made Romney lurch to the far right just to keep ahead of them, and
thus force him so far off the edge of the cliff as to be unacceptable to many moderates who
might have been open to candidate Romney otherwise. Realistically, Gingrich and Santorum
have basically maneuvered Romney into a position where he has become unelectable in the
general election. So, sure, he hates their guts as much as they hate his.

I'm liking this because the love fest they'll be forced to put on after their nominee is decided
will be so unbearably phony that even the Foxsuckers will see through it. Fox will trumpet
the virtues of the Republican nominee no matter who it is, even if they nominate Barney
Frank's dining room table, and thereby lose some of their dearly bought credibility with the
extremist right. Fine with me.
