I'm really hoping that that frothy mix gets the nomination. Aside from all the fun with his name and the opportunities for glitter bombing him, it would present a very clear set of differences.
That said just look at the agenda he's advocating, Bans on contraception, abortion. He's stated a number of times he wants to eliminate public schooling. Seriously what is it with the current crop of Republican candidates they just keep getting more and more batsh*t crazy. Are they trying for a Carter and Mondale election? With the republicans having the wacko nominee? Even Romney is getting loonier and loonier, and he's the Republican establishment's annointed one.
