Oh Dear, GOP, Your Slip Is Showing

You know the Republicans are in trouble when the smoke clears from the Christie implosion, the Huckabee re-declaration of a War on Women, the Rand Paul "I'm going to win by talking about Bill Clinton's sex life twenty-plus years ago," and assorted slip-slip-slip trip-trip-trip drip-drip-drip events by Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan, Bobby Jindal, and any other once-and-future occupants of the clown car:

Following the controversy over his 'Uncle Sugar' speech Mike Huckabee has...taken the lead in the Republican primary race for 2016. He's at 16% to 14% for Jeb Bush, 13% for Chris Christie, 11% for Rand Paul, 8% each for Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Paul Ryan, 6% for Scott Walker, and 5% for Bobby Jindal.

Jeb Bush -- you go, guy! -- is back in the pack at second. Who knew? (Me.)

Jeb Bush embraces his ball and chain: Run, Jeb, run!

On a serious note: We're three years out, but I'm starting to get the feeling that the GOP is looking for another sacrificial lamb -- which McCain and Romney were, to be frank -- to throw to the lions in 2016. Their chances will be so much better in 2024...
