GOP Establishment in Panic Mode
Wow this broken record again...
2000 - Republican establishment was in "Panic Mode" because "the Maverick" John McCain was surging, what happened? "establishment" candidate GWB won the nomination
2004 - Democrat establishment was in "Panic Mode" because "Doctor Demento" Howard Dean was surging, what happened? "establishment" candidate John Kerry won the nomination
2008 - Democrat establishment was in "Panic Mode" because the Big "O" was surging, what happened? they figured out that the Big "O" was actually an "establishment" candidate and gave him their blessing to win the nomination
2012 - Republican establishment was in "Panic Mode" because "Professor Pizza" Herman Caine was surging, what happened? "establishment" candidate Mitt Romney won the nomination.
This year is no different, same bread and circuses, dog and puppet show, same people will decide who gets the nomination, namely the party bosses. It all makes for entertaining television, I guess.
