Reality TV Primaries

I haven't posted any thoughts on politics in a long while. I'm not sure what happened to serious political discussion. Watching the republican primaries is entertaining, but it feels more like watching a bad reality show than the selection of a party representative for leader of the free world. I keep thinking, Newt. Really? The guy is an arrogant blowhard. He's capable of saying anything and at the core of it really loves himself more than anyone or anything. And yet, he's still the more likeable one. Romney has an authenticity issue and even though he's flipped on issues so fast that it will make your head spin, he doesn't understand why.

It's hard to think about either winning. But on some level it's scary to think that either of them have gotten this close already. Clearly, the best choice for the Republicans is none of the above. Too bad for them.
