Triangulation on Mittens in 2012..

It's a bit of a stretch with some 17 months to go and we're currently in the political equivalent of the earth cooling period with algae and slime to form, animals to emerge from the sea, dinosaurs to walk the land, followed by Neanderthals, Cro-Magnon, Hammarubi, the pharaohs, Ceasers, all the way up to Michael Jackson and Barack Obama..

..but in the upcoming days, the history of the 2012 presidential race will start whizzing by at blinding speed.

So, herewith -- while to primordial ooze is coagulating -- is a questionable prediction of where we will be on that firts Monday evening in November 2012:

It's gonna be Mitt Romney versus The Pantload.

I came to this revelation based on, well, my customary Sunday evening Glennfiddich-induced haze and after perusing a Hot Air Headlines post entitled "With Daniels out, it’s Romney’s election to lose" and this brace of comments zapped me:

If Obama is the Dem candidate, I’m voting against him.
Simple as that.

This. Hate to say it but if Romney’s the nominee, most on here will do the same, warts and all. That’s how bad Obama is.

I believe these sentiments to be sadly correct. Many of us dislike Mittens intensely but despise The Pantload and what his administration has done to this country much more. It is also a fact that there are many, many on the "near left" who, discontented with Obama's flummery, would cross over to vote for a Mittens but not do so for a Palin.

Hell, there are even those on the "far left" who might do the same "just to punish the Democrats".

If the Dems receive another thrashing in 2012 (i.e., lose the Senate), then they may retrun to some semblance of sanity and offer a decent candidate for president for a change and -- who knows? -- with the so-called strengthened conservative "farm system in place, Mittens himself might get primaried by a more conservative candidate in 2016.

..and there really is a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

ADDITIONAL, GRATUITOUS, SUNDAY NIGHT SOBER-UP SPECIAL:  The never-imitated, bone-crushingly funny Scooter, late of Scooter's Report, has set up camp in a dark, acrid seam of the internet entitled Big Hairy News replete with the wit and wisdom (and graphics) that made Scooter's report what it was. A sample:

While I fix the link over there on the side, you go to Big Hairy News and Hoover up such earthly delights and Joltin' Joe Biden "Jerkin the Gerkin" and "So your binkmate is a Bone Smoker" or Major Meat's Rump Ranger..

..don't ask, don't tell.
