As for "the establishment", I think there's probably at least two of those on the GOP side alone. I mean, what sort of batshit crazy divide exists when Ann Coulter spends most of her time trying to convince the rest of us that Romney is actually worth wasting time on?

Right - its a question I've seen a lot at NR and elsewhere - where the hell is this mythical Republican establishment that's all powerful? John McCain won last time because South Carolina liked the former military guy more than the moderate Mass Governer who pretended he was a culture warrior - he sure as hell wasn't the establishment candidate. Same thing here - if there was an establishment, wouldn't Mitch Daniels or Chris Christie be winning this thing now?
