GOP debate: Ugh

Special Editorial: Yikes

I can't stand to watch these "debates," but by all accounts last night's hootnanny was a disaster for Perry, who's now being referred to as "Texas Toast," and highly unimpressive for Romney, who's had a lot of time to polish his act, but obviously spent it doing other things.

In other words, the retreads went flat, and the new guy got his tongue, and maybe his brain, caught in the spokes. This party badly needs to have the young talent (Rubio, Ryan, Christy, etc,) push its way to front and center.  What we see up there now looks like collection of has-beens, never-weres, and screwballs who are all on a mission to make Barack Obama look like the reasonable choice.

My takeaway is never, ever to underestimate the GOP's ability to fumble, even now that Obama's catastrophic performance in office has placed the ball on the one yard-line and a touchdown is not much more than a matter of falling forward.

Too much to expect, apparently.
