I would like to thank the Republican primary voters for picking Romney over Jon Huntsman

as their candidate. Romney is the gift that keeps on giving. If the Repukes had shown some sanity and picked Huntsman I think we would be in a much tougher race. Unfortunately for Huntsman, reasonableness and moderation tend not to appeal to Republican primary voters.

But he is rational, obviously sane, and believes science is real. All of these things are presumptive disqualifiers in the open-air lunatic asylum that is the modern Repig party.
