I just don't understand where this respect for Captain's Quarters comes from. Whenever I've checked it out it seems like any other conservative Republican blog. Maybe not quite as whacked out as LGF or Powerlines but not that much different in its Bush worship, either. So far as I've seen, Romney is promising the base to be a good little Bush clone. Has he said anything to counter that view?

Could we end the “There was this one (good/bad) candidate that is somewhat superficially similar to today's candidate” thing right here please?

Davebo,
Ed doesn't have to agree. It's established fact at this point.

George Bush was a governor of Texas for two terms and I think he did a relatively miserable job of managing the Presidency.

I doubt Ed would agree.

What the Republicans are going to have to realize is that the current crop of presidential candidates are probably unfit to be dog catcher let alone president. The Republicans would be better off dumping the current group of candidates and starting over instead of deciding who is the least pathetic candiate of the current crop. If the voters want better candidates, they have to stop voting for lousy candidates just because they are on the ballot.

Until the Republicans insist that their candidates have some level of crediblity on the issues that are important to conservatives, their party will continue to collapse.
