What We Saw at The GOP Convention...

Apologies for being a bit late with this. Tess has been deathly ill, and I've been kinda busy keeping her alive. Which is more than Obamacare would have done.

In keeping with our general theme this week, let's wrap up what we saw at the GOP convention. In no particular order:

Douchebag of The Week: Todd Akin...

We here at the Asylum haven't given out a Douchebag of the Week Award for some time now, if only because with Barack Obama winning one every week for the last two years there didn't seem to be any point in it, anymore.

But, like buses, if you wait awhile, another douchebag predictably comes along.

This week's recipient is Rep. Todd Akin (R-Missouri) who, for some reason which you just KNOW is connected to throwing theRight To Lifers a bit of red meat, finds it necessary to make a fine distinction about "legitimate rape".

There's a specific reason why this sort of ultra-conservative scares the fertilizer out of people, and Akin just reminded everyone of it.

Don't Jump on That Santorum Bandwagon Just Yet...

With regards to the recent surge of Rick Santorum:

Santorum is the lucky beneficiary of the following fortuitous factors (hey, that's alliteration!), in no particular order:

Herman Cain: Man, Mitt Romney: Pussy...

Cain to attend South Carolina GOP debates.

I'm liking Herman more and more with each passing day.

Romney can make whatever excuses he wants about not attending, the real reason is that he knows he'll have to answer all sorts of redneck questions about his Mormon faith. To a South Carolinian, being a Mormon is the next best thing to being an openly-professed Child Molester. And they should know; they're expert Child (and livestock) Molesters, themselves.

For some strange reason it seems as if the people who should be the GOP front-runners don't want to take that mantle. Romney avoids debates, and Newt Gingrich remains virtually invisible, and so we're approaching a point in which it might be possible that -- once again -- the very WORST the GOP has to offer will be in position to win the nomination for 2012, which is a very bad situation to be in when your poor competition has to pray for Miracles and depend upon SEAL raids just to continue justifying it's own existence.

Obama may have gotten Osama, but he's still easy meat come next fall without a massive economic turnaround.

Mark my words: if the GOP manages to vomit up Pawlenty, Palin or Santorum, we're sunk come 2012. If Huckabee wins out, it's, at best, a 50/50 proposition that he squeaks one out. Your front-runners have to act like front-runners, and we also need to be listening to and including some of these second-tier candidates, like Herman Cain (who should be on someone's ticket, top or bottom doesn't matter as long as he's in there) who have more to offer than kissing Evangelical ass.
