Considering the RINOs’ comfort level with being second-place finishers, I can’t help but think that theory has merit.

There is another theory. The establishment doesn't thing the country can be saved, and doesn't want to be blamed when the house of debt and false promises comes falling down. It reminds me of an old Bugs Bunny routine. Bugs tells Sam that the ship is sinking. Sam jumps into the lifeboat, but Bugs pulls him out and reminds him, "The Captain goes down with his ship." Sam instantly resigns, puts the captains hat on bugs and tells Bugs he is the captain.

Romney is a sure loser. But that might just be what the establishment is looking for. They don't want a winner they want a patsy. Someone to take the fall just in case he does win.

Sure is a long, hard fall from the heady times of the Reagan years, no?
