Too Much Static

The GOP race for a candidate to contest Barack Hussein Obama for the US Presidency is as clear as mud at this point. New candidate Rick Perry, the long-term governor of Texas, has thrown more confusion into the contest, seeming to supplant former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney as the favorite, but in the next showcase for the Republican vote, New Hampshire, Romney with his power base originating in a neighboring state, would remain the natural favorite in a "live free or die" state vote. There are other good prospects like Michele Bachmann who won the Iowa straw poll but who has made some relatively inconsequential gaffes like confusing Elvis Presley's dates of birth and death and who wrongly stated Concord, New Hampshire was the location of the early US Revolutionary War battle. Considering that Barack Hussein Obama is systematically disassembling the nation as the Founders envisioned her and has tripped over his own tongue by saying the country had "fifty-seven states", Bachmann's missteps are minor and certainly do not disqualify her. She will likely not play as well in New Hampshire though. Right now, the Republican field is still emerging and it is less than clear who the favorite is. It is like a driver trying to tune in an FM station just at the periphery of the broadcast range, sometimes the signal is clear but at other times, all the listener is receiving is static. In any event, every contestant in the GOP field would do a better job than the current resident of the White House.
