It would appear that Gail Collins has returned to New York from North Dakota and is back to writing drivel. In her latest New York Times op-ed entitled "The Wacky Primary Voters" (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/09/opinion/collins-the-wacky-primary-voters.html), Collins seeks to highlight the foibles, blemishes and defects of various Republican candidates for office throughout the US.
There is nothing worth quoting in the entirety of Collins's opinion piece, which, bless her, fails to mention the Romney dog-on-the-roof story for the hundredth time. Perhaps this is because Democrats are encouraged by yesterday's Washington Post-ABC News poll (see: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/post/romneys-favorability-ratings-stall/2012/08/07/b9b8c612-e0fa-11e1-a421-8bf0f0e5aa11_blog.html), indicating that Romney is failing to make headway as we coast toward November.
But at least in one respect, Collins is correct: Given the state of the economy, Obama and the Democrats are highly vulnerable, and Republicans have responded with ungainly alternatives.
According to a common adage, a fish rots from the head down, and I suppose the best that can be said of the Republicans in 2012 is that they chose the least offensive of a motley crew of presidential candidates.
Will Romney be rescued by his vice presidential choice? It certainly can't do more damage than was done when McCain chose Palin.
