He simply didn't take it seriously at all, he seems to have been convinced that this would be a cake walk for him, just cause he is a good ol' boy.</p> <p>But even George Bush prepared for debates.</p> <p>Is Mitt even a top tier Republican? Cause to me he seems like he might just be a really rich guy trying to buy a political office, this time the top office. The problem for Mitt is even Republicans recognize this.</p> <p>And then we have to <a href="http://www.juliansanchez.com/2010/03/26/frum-cocktail-parties-and-the-threat-of-doubt/">discuss</a> the <a href="http://www.juliansanchez.com/2010/04/07/epistemic-closure-technology-and-the-end-of-distance/">Epistemic</a> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/28/books/28conserv.html">Closure </a>of the <a href="http://www.tnr.com/blog/jonathan-chait/the-great-epistemic-closure-debate">Republican</a> <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/04/epistemic_closure.html">Party</a>, that Julian Sanchez and others have discussed, because it is an indication that there is something terribly wrong with that party. And there is something terribly wrong with that party.  It's been hijacked by a small very fundamentalist group, including Paul, Gingrich, Santorum, Bachmann, jeebus! Most are some sort of fundamentalist religious whack jobs. But they do all have one thing in common, they and their constituencies focus heavily on their fear and hatred of everything they don't know.</p> <p>So Mitt wins tonight, well it was to be expected, yet there is something about this win that seems weak, I can't quite put my finger on it, but something is off.</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 05:30:37 +0000 tmccarthy0 comment 146308 at http://dagblog.com I should have a hilarious http://dagblog.com/comment/146307#comment-146307 <a id="comment-146307"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/146265#comment-146265">Oh, and by the way, we all</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>I should have a hilarious add-on to that comment but I'm blanking.</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 05:02:07 +0000 erica20 comment 146307 at http://dagblog.com There has been a ton of http://dagblog.com/comment/146306#comment-146306 <a id="comment-146306"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/146260#comment-146260">Todd Palin, although I don&#039;t</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><span style="font-size: 13px">There has been a ton of commentary tonight about whether Newt will continue on his Mitt destruction campaign, a la Bain Capital. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px">Actually, ole unelectable Perry had the best comments, as if he awoke from a deep sleep. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px">He said there was a difference between Venture Capitalism and Vulture Capitalism of the type Romney engaged in, that they were doing Romney a favor in seeing beforehand  how well he would handle Obama's eventual attacks on Bain.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px">If Perry can begin to string sentences together, he might have a shot.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px">On second thought---Nah. </span></p> </div></div></div> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:46:32 +0000 Oxy Mora comment 146306 at http://dagblog.com Oh, and by the way, we all http://dagblog.com/comment/146265#comment-146265 <a id="comment-146265"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/146263#comment-146263">&quot;I guess we&#039;re going to see</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><blockquote>Oh, and by the way, we all better hope they don't win in November. </blockquote> <p>Yeah, then thing's would be really Koch'd up.</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:32:59 +0000 Verified Atheist comment 146265 at http://dagblog.com "I guess we're going to see http://dagblog.com/comment/146263#comment-146263 <a id="comment-146263"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/146233#comment-146233">If they nominate Romney, as I</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p> "I guess we're going to see what it's worth."</p> <p>I guess we are. My bet is that The Tea Party's Whackadoodle Straw(man) house won't present much of an obstacle to the Lucrescenti's smooth, well-financed and carefully-gamed Panzer attack of bamboozlement.</p> <p>We're already seeing the meme "one thing about those Mormons, they're good with money," and Romney's generic "American-ness" being talked about.
