GOP cognitive dissonance

Over at DKos, they point out, "Romney's the conservative alternative to McCain. McCain is the establishment alternative to Romney."

A few months ago, McCain's campaign was in the toilet with no money and everybody thought he'd have to drop out. Now he's the front runner. It suggests that Goopers suffer from cognitive dissonance too:

They cry out for leaders who aren't establishment insiders yet they continue to elect leaders who are establishment insiders and, all the while, they expect a different result for repeating their unfortunate and misguided choices....

So, I'm predicting that the General election will be the choice between the establishment insiders, too whit, Clinton vs McCain. And I'm giving it straight up 50-50 odds.
