Because the clown bus needs another passenger, Rick Santorum is going all in.

Just when you thought the Republican presidential field was filled to the brim, here comes Rick Santorum: http://t.co/LOPkpEOHfa

And next week we’re supposed to get George Pataki too? Seriously? George Pataki? Who the hell was advising him to run? Can anyone actually identify a single achievement from his terms in office? Yes, he defeated Mario Cuomo, but that’s going on 20+ years ago. But that’s it. Debt boomed under Pataki’s term, and the WTC rebuilding became a total mess because of his meddling.

Yeah, that’ll go over swell. And yet, with this field, Santorum and Pataki (and Joe the Plumber?) could think that they have a chance at winning the nomination. This is the weakest field of prospective candidates we’ve seen in a long time. The big field isn’t a sign that the GOP has a deep bench; it’s a sign that they’ve got a bunch of people who simply can’t break out of the signal to noise ratio and who are incapable of putting together a coherent vision for anything beyond taxes=evil; federal government=evil; abortion=evil; and Obama=evil.
