Post-Mortems before the patient is even in Intensive Care

I know -- and hope -- it is unlikely to happen, but considering Mitt is still within single-digits and could conceivably win under unlikely but still possible scenarios it is amazing the amount of dirt being shoveled upon his not yet corpse:

If the Republican ticket loses in November, the rush by Mr. Ryan and other 2016 hopefuls to position themselves for the Iowa caucuses “is going to look like Best Buy the night after Thanksgiving,” said Craig Robinson, a former political director of the Republican Party of Iowa. “I hate to say this, but if Ryan wants to run for national office again, he’ll probably have to wash the stench of Romney off of him.”
THAT. IS. BRUTAL.

Oh, that part about Iowa in 2016...it is going to be wide-open and for an Iowan almost unbearable on both sides.  Starting about September 2015 we'll have about 30 minutes of political commercials a night and we'll have to unplug, or turn off, the phones at night.

Ryan will just be one among many creeps, crazies, crackpots and jerks making the parade.

Ryan is not a mainstream character, however much the Romney campaign and Ryan himself wish to portray him as such. He's a radical slash-and-burn wingnut and, with a little luck, he'll show himself to be exactly that in the intervening months.

Lord only knows just what he'll do if he thinks he's got a shot in 2016. But, there's no doubt that he'll do his best to out-fuckwit every other candidate.

WE already have more than that in Montana, what with the highly contested Senate election. I have never in my 60 years witnessed such an orgy of outright lying as the right (the candidate, the state GOP, the national GOP, Rove, the Kochs, and the Chamber of Commerce) has deployed against the very moderate Tester.
