All in

The famous Romney video doesn’t add anything new. All it does is confirm the Atlas Shrugged mentality of the 2012 GOP, which is one step removed from divine right of kings: if you have money, then by God you deserve it and earned it no matter how you came by it, and anyone who doesn’t is a parasite grasping for what is rightfully your own.

The reason Ayn Rand is so seductive among a certain adolescent segment is because it tells them the elite are better than anyone else – and said adolescents assume they are obviously among the elite. The problem is, too many don’t grow out of it, and we get what we have now.

I honestly expect the tail end of this race to look like Wallace vs Brewer in 1970. It’s all Romney has left.
