My feeling is that the Republican Powers That Be are ready to winnow the field, so that the money can be concentrated toward the candidate(s) they’ve picked as most easily manipulated. I’ve said since day one that they’ve picked Mitt Romney as their boy. Rick Perry is second choice but I think they put him up for public view to see if Americans had such short memories as to even entertain the possibility of Bush-lite. Even in this field of mental lightweights, Perry is proving to be a failure via his blatant brainlessness and will only be allowed to remain so that TeaBaggers can ‘think’ they have a choice. Mitt will be the nominee because he’s a member of the “club.” I find the timing awfully coincidental, coming only a few days after Michelle Bachmann was told, supposedly by the TeaBaggers, to end her campaign. “TeaBaggers”, of course, means Dick Armey/Grover Norquist/the Koch Brothers, etc., ad nauseum.
