I just read a poll that reported 16 percent of California Republicans (as of this writing) support Mitt Romney as the Republican presidential nominee. Sixteen percent! The poll has him tied with Fred Thompson for second place. In Michigan and Massachusetts he’s in first place. Christ-in-Hell, the guy won the Iowa Straw poll.
It’s inconceivable to consider, but Mitt Romney has a reasonable shot at being our next president. To that I would like to say, “Um, hel-lo! People! Haven’t you heard? Mitt Romney is a freaking Mormon, a member of the Jesus Christ Church of Latter Day Saints! Do you know what that means? It means the man is about a dozen french fries short of a combo meal.”
“The people of [Iowa] have sent a message to the rest of the country,” Romney declared in his straw-poll victory speech.
Oh, Iowa has sent a message, alright–and the message is: Iowans are nuts! They’re bonkers! Insane! You have to be several Sundays short of a calendar month to vote for a Mormon for president.
