Bizarre moments like these in the GOP primary convinced me that in that imaginary world that they were playing in Obama had already lost the election and it was just a matter of the GOP picking the POTUS. Ahh, yes, the country was all ditto-heads in that world.
And in fact that was the tripe that Rush had been preaching, on and off.
With disastrous results. Then lib Romney who out-righted the rest gets to general election and duhhh has nothing to run on and boom 47% video fills the vacuum.
Its like in the GOP 2013 debates they were interviewing candidates to be a Rush substitute host when he takes off, not seriously looking to be elected POTUS.
