As long as the other loons were still in the primary race (or at least as long as they thought they were still in the race) they were making statements that made Willard seem marginally human by comparison.  Now that the spotlight will be aimed full on him without shiny object distractions ordinary people (as opposed to us political junkies)will get a real feeling for just how awful, horrible, terrible, heinous and unlikable he really is.  Let’s sure hope so, anyway.

“Don’t vote for Romney, he’s worse than Bush,” is my message to moderates this year.

Jeff Fecke has his essence for sure.  But I think what most people also sense about him is a kind of contempt for real, people-to-people politics and for the notion of civic culture (something sadly lacking in general) as well as his utter cynicism, something I suspect he learned from his experience At Bain Capital.

The man has no fuckin’ manners.

I’d have dumped the box over his head in a display of utter contempt.
