This will be the end result of the meltdown of the clowns. They need the faux "base" that covers the crap with noise and for other reasons(although the wild bunch is itself devoid of reason enough to challenge people like Boehner). The WOULD eat there own and end up in a landslide fiasco but these types of angry children are authoritarian and ultimately can be controlled, duped, whatever even out of their wildest passions and ambitions. At the last they will not know what hit them when the mysterious money and media spigots are turned off or down, as what happens in the real world to any candidate. Money rules and the sudden gulf of campaign debt and ad costs with the fearsome gods they worship saying no will bring them swiftly to heel. As it seems with Palin who couldn't behave enough to get the nod to advance, and hence her fury as Bachmann is still allowed to tease the field.
The dynamic should switch as the economy/Obama fails or succeeds. I think they are content with a massive effort to bleed away Obama's still certain victory into a crippled second term. That makes them equally poised to do anything they want to beat Obama, including sweeping the current field away easily on behalf of newcomers, maybe, unbelievably(but thanks to the blank checks given the BFEE by the WH) to Jeb. More likely it will be some "new" name, relatively unsullied in the corporate media heretofore waiting in the wings for 2016. Nor do they want a dark horse entering the clown show since they have nothing real to offer the people and don't want the scrutiny or the dirt of the clown show to rub off. The Republican process is not a democratic process in the least. Someday, at this rate, we will be gifted with a simple middle of the night coup for some schmuck of a dictator.
The Democratic Party process is run by the money gods too but has to present itself to the people with some semblance of a people's agenda and choice process. Still, out of 300,000,000 educated people to believe we can get great representation or any 100% uncorrupted representation is a faint hope in itself.
If they think they can't win Romney will do as a born loser on the charisma front. If they think they can win, the real signals from the rank and file and the kingmakers are that someone else has a great opportunity to be anointed and the plug easily pulled on anyone else. If a bunch of them become overcome with ambition and have enough donors it still would shift down very very quickly to one. It would be wonderful if it spun wildly out of control no matter what, with the rivalry of the billionaires among themselves spoiling things. If it becomes uncertain whether Obama will be vulnerable or not that risk would be the biggest chaos inducer. Some reliably submissive bagger, IMO, will have to be Veep and follow orders and keep mouth shut, performing stubborn rope a dope in the debate.
