Is there anyone who didn’t see this<\/a> coming. In fact, hasn’t it been here all along?<\/p>\n

The teabaggers aren\u2019t happy with Mitt, and some of them are saying that his now seemingly inevitable coronation as their candidate will turn them off. Mitt is, at heart, not a tea party man. He\u2019s Wall Street pure and simple, and makes Obama look like an anti-oligarch of the highest order, which, unfortunately, he actually is not.<\/p>\n

Something not considered in this article is that Mitt\u2019s inevitable tack (lurch, lunge?) left (or centerward, depending on your preference) once the nomination is secure, will have a further depressing effect on these whackjobs, particularly if Rush Limbaugh doesn\u2019t fall in line. And he might not. From Rush\u2019s perspective, Obama has been pure gold. Rush would be far better off having another four years of bashing Obama than four years of defending Mitt Romney. As a matter of fact, Republicans in Congress generally would be better off with Obama in office. After all, they have no interest in actually accomplishing anything. Their own offices would be more secure. Imagine the state of this country after two years of solid Republican rule. The poor whipsawed voters of this nation would have no choice but to give a huge percentage of the Republicans the old heave-ho. <\/p>\n

Note: For those who are interested, Dr. Fell is a person who otherwise would be lost to history had he not been immortalized in rhyme:<\/p>\n

The reason why, I cannot tell
