Be worried. Really.

According to writer John Batchelor in the Daily Beast blog, the Republicans do not stand a chance in 2012.

Right.

Remember how all of us (all of us liberal Dems, that is) laughed about the possible election of GW Bush?  You can never, never, take anything for granted in presidential politics.  Spin enough embarrassing incidents, cover enough of your previous record, and you can win handily. Or at least with the help of an uncritical media, the Florida supervisor of elections and the Supreme Court.

The thought of any of the Republican candidates being president -- with the possible exception of Mitt Romney whom I do not like but also do not fear -- is enough to make me wake up in the middle of the night with the cold sweats.

Just think of it: President Rick Perry.  Or even worse, President Rick Santorum. Thankfully, I do think that Michelle Bachmann is enough of a flake that she won't win the nomination.

 The time to start getting the message out about these people is now, not when it looks like they do have a serious following.
