Herd mentality
This video from Jon Stewart reveals again the herd mentality that is the press and the professional talking-points circuit. They’ve all anointed a troika atop the GOP nomination sweepstakes — Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, and Rick Perry — but it takes a TV comedian to remind us that Romney and Perry have won nothing, and that someone else — someone they ignore or mock — came within about 150 votes of winning. That guys name is Ron Paul (the name they shall not mention). While I generally disagree with Congressman Paul, he has more integrity than the other three put together and squared.
