Santorum is not a serious candidate. By saying he will bomb Iran if elected, a self-destruct was already attached to him.

I think Huntsman was a spare Romney (or maybe Romney is a stand-in for Huntsman) -- Mormons are a small but not inconsiderable component of the American elite -- and it just may be their turn, by ruling elite thinking

Iowa is really a laboratory -- Iowans are a microcosm, not of America, but of the classes that the elite must hoodwink and control. During the pre-Iowa caucus period they are polled and statistically analyzed in every demographic and sociological dimension -- because politics can be as troublesome of weather to model, simulate, project and steer - but both can be and are done.

I'm a Mormon -- and I do put Huntsman and Romney at the top of a bad lot (Ron Paul being phony and Austrian (rather than monetarist) and libertarian (rather than Jeffersonian or populist) and just very weak - you know a guy who has no energy or will to fight it out when you see on -- he runs on his reputation etc.

Of course, the third Mormon is my favorite choice.

China started buying up oil lands in the US, yesterday. They say it is being done because capital is needed to develop those resources (since no one likes government or social credit, right?) -- but I know that the real reason is that deflation and depression have knocked down prices as intended to make the conquest by buy-up possible.
