Will he stay or will he go ?

I stopped by The Huffington Post tonight to check their feedback on the SOTU address, which I did not watch. My record for consecutive occasions avoiding that dumb p.o.s. on television is intact. While I was browsing, I came upon a fragment from the LA Times which reports that Rudi's making the same kind of noises about the Florida primary that Ferd was making about South Carolina. It'll be a hell of a note if the two most interesting Repub candidates drop out of the race before February, leaving us with the dreary prospect of a struggle to the death among Willard, Hucklebuck, and McCain. Picking among those three is like trying to decide which brand of skim milk is tastiest.

Addendum 11:16 pm, Tuesday, 29 January: Well, based on what I'm reading online, McCain won the Florida primary, and the lovely Rudi came in third. The story that will be in tomorrow's print editions is that Rudi is hanging up his skates and will endorse McCain. It's a sign of how dumb I am that a few months ago, the two Repubs I thought would be sure winners in November were Ferd and Rudi, and neither one ain't shit now.

Hucklebum couldn't get into the top three in FLA, and it's looking more and more like he appeals exclusively to the evangelunatic crowd. Say goodnight, Hucklebum.

We've endured seven years of unadulterated disaster under W-for-Walker, and I've been getting a sense that we might be in for four more under W-for-Willard. If we're correct in designating Hucklebuck as a niche candidate, a novelty item that exists only in the deluded minds of the evangeloonies, then the typical R voter is left with a choice between McCain, hated for his tolerant attitude toward the Mexicans, and Willard, the acolyte of a Satanic cult. If they sit out the election as a matter of principle, they end up with Hillary or that Negro person with the Muslim name. Hey, Repubs, sucks to be you.
