An Ever-Expanding Field

It seems like the field of Republican presidential candidates is growing rather than shrinking. With Jim DeMint the latest to throw his lure in the water, it’s doubtful that there is a venue in America that can stage a debate of these ass-clowns. Think about it. We have: Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty, Haley Barbour, Jim DeMint, John Thune, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Rudy Guiliani, and (possibly) John Bolton. And Ron Paul could always get into the race again. How do you get them all in one screenshot?

More to the point, why would anyone want to listen to them debate? Do you get 10 seconds each to respond to a question?

Romney could be dangerous in the general if he can somehow get there. Thune could be a taller and better looking Bush (i.e. empty vessel) with fewer a-hole tendencies. Other than those two? Roadkill.
