John Davis, already a winner; Iowa Caucuses 2012
In the TMR tally of candidate cliches, John Davis of Grand Junction, BackSlope, is the hands-down champion. No other statesman/woman competing for Iowans' attention has a prayer of closing the gap.
Among his revelations: "My family has lived in this town for six generations and I can’t imagine living anywhere else. " (That's also the site of his entry in the cliche contest.)
Which is misleading. He clearly can imagine moving to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, a long slog from his Colorado lumber yard.
That's how he has earned a place on your newly updated, handy-dandy, list of GOP luminaries practicing to say aww shucks and you bet.
He brings the total back to 19, and let it be added that there's no reason to think a lumber yard guy would do a worse job of running the country than a neighborhood organizer.

Obama now unbeatable
You don't have to be listening hard to your electrical teevee to hear that Obama is now "unbeatable" because our spies and our SEALS took out bin Laden.
Uhh-huh.
His Obamaness is enjoying a giddy pop in the polls, but fickle, thy name is the American electorate.
My pal Fred invites our attention to the flighty nature of our voters with this.
By November of next year you might have to interview one Hell of a lot of voters to find one who remembers why we got so excited about the shootout at the Abbottabad Corral.

Foreign Policy Advice
You and I know there are only two logical possibilities.
--Pakistan bosses didn't know Osama lived across the street from its version of West Point. That makes them stupid.
--They knew but didn't tell us, probably because that might reduce Uncle Sam's shower of cash before every Paki general became a millionaire. That makes them evil.
---
Nevertheless, we shouldn't press those points too hard at the moment. When they tell us they were full partners and rilly, rilly, helped us find and kill bin Laden, we should smile and say sure and thanks-a-lot. Because until we figure out how to get our kids out of Dodgeghanistan, we need docile Pakistanis on the eastern flank.
We can pop their treacherous asses later if we still feel like it.
