That is such a good post and right on. I read an interesting article about how the right likes Cain because he hides their racism. I always felt that to. I haven't seen the word for a long time, but uncle tom seems to fit. I hope that isn't politically incorrect somehow and I just missed it-lol. Off to work. <<The crazies have taken over the (R) primary process, so, it's pretty much impossible for any reasonable candidate (say, like Jon Huntsman) to make it to the general election, without pandering to the crazies. Romney's been trying hard to avoid doing that, but it's also why he trails Herman Cain. Only a total political whore like Romney would even want to TRY dancing that hypocritical two-step. I don't see it getting any better for the (R)'s in future elections. Last election McCain went for Palin to get the nom, but Palin cost him in the general. The (R)'s need to quit attempting to hold their coalition of single-issue and social voters together ( abortion, gun rights, constitutional purists, tax haters, immigration, etc. ) and totally reinvent themselves. The country gets inevitably browner every year, and no amount of voter suppression will keep the (R)'s from being demographically doomed.
