New Hampshire Primary

What does the New Hampshire Primary results tell us about the Republican primary race? Not much. Mitt Romney will be the nominee. He's the chosen of the Republican elite. He will win. The rest is just a matter of everyone else falling in line. New Hampshire is just another small step on path to inevitability. Just sit down, be quiet, and listen to the people who are really in charge of the Republican Party.

But there's South Carolina in a few days. There is and all sorts of unholiness is opening up down there as the unregulated money from the Super PACs floods the airways with negative ads. Newt Gingrich's Super PAC is flush with cash, but so isn't Mitt Romney's Super PAC. Technically there's supposed to be a division between the candidate and their Super PAC, but let's face it if you believe there is you are probably stupid naive. So they'll cancel each other out in a wave of negativity that will send ripples through the entire country. So they'll cancel each other out, but there will be a lot of side damage that occurs. End result will be a Romney victory.

Romney has better financial backing and more money flowing into his Super PAC. Romney is the chosen one of the elites. There are a few rich people who don't like him, but they're out numbered. We don't even have to pretend anymore that the party nominees aren't chosen by the rich and corporations. In the era of Post-Citizens United the US system is laid bare. The wealthy and the corporations will choose our nominees and they'll fund them generously. Romney will win the nomination because that's what the people with the money want. And in America the people with the money always get what they want.
