re: #69 Girth

Don’t count him out. He may not be the hottest ticket in town right now, but after a few months of crazy and then the actual voting starts to clear the field he may be in a position to pick up the pieces. A lot of GOPers wouldn’t like it, but then they didn’t like McCain either.

That’s his problem. Nobody really likes him. He doesn’t have a natural constituency. Even if he wins the nomination, I don’t think it will be with a majority of primary voters who will want an alternative to him, there will be no passion for him personally. There is just something about him that is unlikable. He can’t excite or emote and even if he tried it would look tired and fake. He’s the GOP’s John Kerry. A rich patrician from MA with a reputation for flip-flopping.
