More GOP Implosion -- What Fun!

Like so many of my LJ friends, I'm puzzled by the news out of Alaska today.  Sarah Palin's resignation is, as political strategery goes, pretty bizarre.  And her rambling, self-aggrandizing speech justifying the move was one of the worst I've ever heard by a Presidential contender.  At this point I think that the GOP field has been winnowed to Newt-Man, Romney, Huckabee, and my dark-horse pick, Haley Barbour.  They should all be sending Mark Sanford thank you notes....
