It is obvious
the Repub Party has gotten exactly what they deserve.
Their nominating process, controlled by the religious warriors and anti-government agitators who dominate straw polls, has reached its logical conclusion: The hottest candidate in the field is Herman Cain, a fast-food tycoon who never heard of neoconservatism, has never held office, has no foreign policy and a three-digit number for a domestic policy, and likes to joke about electrocuting illegal immigrants. By contrast, Jon Huntsman, governor, ambassador, the man who in a normal political environment would be the most qualified and formidable candidate in the race, wasn’t even on the stage.A system that rejects a Jon Huntsman in favor of a Herman Cain isn’t a primary process, it is a primal scream, and what happens when a political party gets hijacked by the radical, right-wing Christian conservatives. The Dems, who are nearly as bad, gotta be loving it.
