How long before the Tea Party issues a clarion call to eliminate the electoral college? And while they're at it, make SCOTUS an elected position that can be recalled by Congress?

[Chicken Dinner]

Whelp, I really do think that some third or fourth party (and not the Teabaggers) will arise from the ashes of all this mess. I remember thinking a couple of years ago when it became pretty obvious that Clinton was the presumptive Democratic nominee and everyone was licking their chops at the prospect of how easily beatable she would be that you can't underestimate the GOP's proclivity for stepping on its dick and nominating someone who is completely unelectable to the swing voters in the middle. This is a fine mess we've gotten ourselves into Ollie.
