	I doubt seriously that "The Donald" will receive the GOP nod.  I say this because, as a Southerner by birth, I cannot imagine fundamentalist Christian, redneck-Bob types ever voting for Donald Trump.  He is too far from their preference for a bible-toting "good Christian" who espouses "strong family values."  Bear in mind, I don't perceive these type of voters to be good Christians themselves given their "Christian beliefs" on the one hand, and their homophobia, racism, xenophobia and such on the other hand.  The sad reality is that this "type" of voter represents the majority of America, of course with varying degress of the "isms" and "phobias" listed above, who reside in the majority rural centers of the country.  Given this situation, it doesn't surprise me that the GOP (and dems for that matter to an extent) tend to offer up relatively sanitized, middle-of-the-road candidates deemed to be most palatable to the masses.  Clearly, "The Donald" does not fit this profile for the GOP.<br />

	In almost every other year I would agree with you, but this year just feels very different to me.  There is no genuine "Establishment" candidate.  Romney's too Mormon, Newt is the sleaziest asshole in America, Pawlenty is kidding himself, and Ron Paul thinks Jews are space aliens who control Zurich or something.  It's a big wild card year for the Republicans.  What it reminds me of the most is 1976 when the Dems had at least 14 candidates running and somehow Jimmy Carter came out of the pack.<br />

	I would not be surprised if the GOP coughs up a strange wad this time around.
