Hey RepubliCONS! Time for a Hearing Check!

 

If the republiCON race for the presidential nomination could be

described as a sound it would be a cacophony, a high pitch shriek of

noise. Everyone one of the candidates is struggling to remain

relevant, raise money, or fend off bad press.

 

Take Mitt Romney. In the first quarter money race, Romney came in with

a staggering $25 million. However, in the preceding quarter is haul

dropped to $21 million. Still seemingly impressive, however hidden in

these numbers is a nearly $7 million loan Romney gave to his own

campaign. Subtracting his self-love, Romney actually came in second to

Guiliani and well behind the leading Democrats. Speaking of self-love,

Romney appears to be caught up in a porn scandal that threatens to tar

his family values image. It appears slick only opposes porn that

doesn't make money for the corporations he serves.

 

The news wasn't that good for the Guiliani campaign either. Most

notably Rudy's ability to select quality people was once again called

into question. First, it was his pick for Homeland Security Secretary

who was hounded by allegations of infidelity, sexual harassment and

mob ties. Next, Guiliani's South Carolina chair was busted for

distributing cocaine. Now his southern regional chair admits to

soliciting prostitutes. Makes one wonder who Rudolph would put in

Departments like Health and Human Services.

 

Meanwhile, McCain's campaign has taken more hits than the battleship

Bismarck and appears headed for the same fate. His campaign is nearly

broke, losing staff and like Guilliani, has an accused john chairing

one of his states. Sorry John, but its time to abandon ship!

 

As for the bottom tier candidates, their dim hopes are fading. Jim

Gilmore just threw in the towel. Jim must have seen the writing on the

wall, heck a google news search shows him sharing headlines with a

recently cancelled TV show.

 

It's just a matter of time until other republiCONS also hear the bell

toll. Although, some candidates seem to have been made deaf to and by

the incessant ringing of their dying campaigns. What Fun!
