Boy, I agree.

There's gotta be somebody that's a more serious candidate than the current GOP front-runners. Yesterday's Cain interview on PBS just adds fuel to the fire. Can we really have a commander-in-chief who doesn't know that China has nuclear weapons and has had them for over half a century? If Sarah Palin had said that, she'd have already been skewered and on the way to being well done on the political rotisserie. How does Cain get a pass on this stuff...becky-becky-stan-stan, the sexual abuse allegation, now almost complete ignorance of a fairly important fact regarding the country that's the biggest threat to our continued well- being?

Interestingly, I read an article within the last few days that an Irish bookmaker has taken millions of dollars in bets on the outcome of both the GOP primary and the 2012 Presidential election. The odds set by this bookmaker have had impeccable results over a decade or so of making odds on elections around the world. They've been right on the last four U.S. presidential elections, all fifty U.S. gubernatorial elections, all but a handful of the U.S. House and Senate elections for the last three Congressional cycles, etc.

This bookmaker is now predicting with very high odds that unquestionably Mitt Romney will be the GOP candidate and that at this point he and Obama are neck-and-neck in the general election, with Romney having significant increasing momentum and Obama the opposite. Let's hope the Irish bookies know more about what's going to happen than the respondents to the recent GOP nominee polls.
