Romney's Tea Party

The tea is weak and poured with an unsteady hand.  Romney has forgotten the sugar, and, embarrassingly, is mixing milk with lemon.  The Romney campaign is curdling.  Tea partiers,who have finally earned a place at the Romney table, doubt the sincerity of the host.  His most authentic tea party moment was offending the British, and that is the wrong tea party. There will be no shortage of mad hatters if, as is increasingly likely, Romney loses.  We can expect a Republican food fight.

On the other side, Democrats are enjoying double lattes.  Not only is Romney running cold, but super pacs keep pouring money on the same tea bag.  With a candidate as well know as the president, the law of diminishing returns precludes a few extra ads from impacting the voters' verdict.  Money flowing to Romney siphons off funds, which could preserve, or enhance, the Republican congressional majority.

Is it too soon to chill the champagne?
