George Will
has already decided the 2012 GOP Clown Car will only be stuffed with five men (of course Palin didn't make the cut, or Bachmann).
Let us not mince words. There are at most five plausible Republican presidents on the horizon - Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, former Utah governor and departing ambassador to China Jon Huntsman, former Massachusetts governor Romney and former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty.
What's quite peculiar is his description of Mike Huckabee, who has been going off of the rails birther crazy. Referring to the former Arkansas governor and pastor as a "vibrator" has got to be the funniest thing I've read in a long while.
[S]ensible Americans, who pay scant attention to presidential politics at this point in the electoral cycle, must nevertheless be detecting vibrations of weirdness emanating from people associated with the party.
The most recent vibrator is Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas who won the 2008 Republican caucuses in Iowa and reached that year's national convention with more delegates than Mitt Romney, and who might run again.
