Our Long Nation's Nightmare Begins

It's settled. Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee for President.

• There will be all sorts of speculation about his Veep choice before he picks a unqualified Southern conservative. 
• The campaign will be filled with Mitt's traditional tactics of falsehoods, smears, outlandish regional pandering, and silly recitations of songs.
• Mitt will set records for nasty election tactics.
• Mitt's billionaire buddies will spend the equivalent of the gross national product of the Cayman Islands buying the election.

We've got seven fucking months of this to look forward to. Just kill me now.
