The GOP Presidential Primary Debate this week on Fox

News this week presented the electorate with the edifying spectacle of nine (or is it eleven ?) grown adult men chasing all manner of sensible ideas around the stage, beating the same to death and then symbolically throwing the corpse at the feet of the republican base whilst panting with canine glee.
If this callow and hopeless farce repeats itself over the next several months, and it will have no doubt, it is inevitable that some shrewd opportunist will climb into the presidential race as an independent.
Could be Chuck Hegel or Mayor Bloomberg (BTW pretty dumb of Giuliani not to secure his successor's endorsement eh?)....but someone will ride on horseback posing as a maverick outsider undoubtably accompanied by squeals of glee from the usual chronic hero worshippers like Chris Matthews and Joe Klein.
So...watch for it is all I can say.
