SUPERLATIVES

There are a bundle of them among the R candidates ---- but not necessarily positive superlatives......

Newt and Paul looked very bedraggled after the Iowa caucuses.......conclusion: neither have the physical stamina required to function in the office they seek.Gingrich also unstable and can turn on the vengeance full volume if crossed.

Ron Paul would be eighty years old at the end of a first term.......I do not thing age is going to be in his favor when votes are cast. And many of his ideas are also old and not doable. This is a larger and more complex world than when he formulated his dogmas.

Then there is Mitt -- the richest candidate ever and insulated from what passes as reality for the majority and it shows almost every time he opens his mouth.

Santorum should be on the Vatican payroll, he does more preaching and proselytizing in his stumping than a Sunday session - and again given the age we are living in - he is not going to resonate with enough voters to get to the White House. He is too wrapped up in his extreme positions to realize what harm he does to himself politically -- contrasts very sharply with how a democrat handled being Catholic (Kennedy).

Need I even mention the brain deficit evident every time Perry tries to sound informed?

The party has a very good alternative candidate Jon Huntsman....and he would be inoculated from some of the targeting in the general election, given his service as ambassador, but the R's are too busy hating Obama to perceive this political advantage.

It will be very interesting today to see the results of the first primary in New Hampshire.
