As early as it is, the Republican Party's internal "establishment" primary is almost over. Only two candidates are now competing for that nod: former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman -- who most recently served as Obama's ambassador to China.

Huntsman is going nowhere because he's been nowhere. Mitt is not getting much traction. But I don't see the RINO establishment giving up that easily. There is already talk of Rooty joining the race. If not Rooty, then they will bring out Mitch Daniels, Rick Perry or some other milquetoast whom they think they can more easily control.

If T-Paw finishes third in Iowa, he's done. He may not even make it that far. His only compelling qualification is that he's from a potentially winnable liberal state.

Rudy would draw from Mit. It would probably be good to split the RINO vote between them.

The Establishment is ready to suck it up and back Perry, sold as a rock-ribbed conservative.
