Delaware Liberal

In the same way Christine O'Donnell demolished the Delaware GOP by forcing it to own the religious lunacy and small mindedness that fueled its base, Rick Santorum has exposed the national GOP's fetid soul to a shocked nation. Whereas in the past, Republicans were able to use a system of codes to identify themselves to each other as misogynist, homophobic authoritarian, racists, and religious fanatics - Santorum made the heretofore unspoken word become flesh. To his credit he essentially told America, "If you vote for a Republican, you should know that you are voting for a crazy person."

Rep. Allen West (R-FL) told a crowd of Florida voters "he's heard" up to 80 U.S. House Democrats are Communist Party members, "but wouldn't name names," the Palm Beach Post reports. I've heard that half of all Republicans in the House are Nazis. Or at the very least fascist. And you know what, I bet you there is more evidence to support the latter allegation than the former.

The advantages each candidate has in their matchup. First up, Romney: 1) Willingness to lie his ass off. I would say that this is more than a willingness, it is an eagerness. Romney will literally say anything to get elected. This can work against him in some ways, but it is certainly something that the GOP's spin doctors can work with.
