Dennis Kucinich is dropping out of the Dem race tomorrow. By my calculation, that leaves Clinton, Obama, and Edwards still in the mix. Edwards will probably be the next one to go belly up. Kucinich cluttered up the debates in 2004 and had no business running again this time, but in all fairness, he probably had as much chance of being elected president as HRC and Obama. If the Dems were smart, they'd put all their resources into the House and Senate races, and try to build a decent congressional majority that could put a leash on whichever Repub wins in November.
Ron Paul, the conservative R answer to Kucinich, is still hanging around, but it looks like we're down to McCain, Hucklebuck, Rudi, and Mormon Mitt.
Who in hell names a son "Mitt" anyway ? I spent a little time checking up on that name, and learned that Mitt is really Willard M. Romney. There are conflicting stories about whether the M. stands for Mitt or Milton. Doesn't matter. By either name, Mitt or Milton, Romney is still the textbook example of a political whore who will say or do anything to collect a few extra votes. Your prototypical empty suit with an expensive hairstyle.
Back in the 1970s, there was a horror movie called Willard, kind of a cult classic, about a maladjusted young man who keeps pet rats, and the rats wind up in a man-eating frame of mind. There may be some parallels between the movie Willard and the one who's running for prez when it comes to associating with man-eating vermin. I'll have to keep an eye on that angle. For now, I'll start referring to Mormon Mitt as Willard.
