What shade of lipstick, and how much for Little Rickie?

We all know that the RW Wurlitzer is a remarkably adept makeup artist. They have limitless funds and a rigid ideology and a fierce determination.

Can they slaver it on thick enough to sell this guy? What's his fatal flaw? What will make him unsellable, either to other teabaggers or the great wishy-washy unengaged public?

Google is your friend! That alone should be enough to scandalize at least some of the unengaged.

Gotta keep "spreading the Santorum."

that will get the people in primaries angry at Santorum. Meanwhile, Rmoney spent years in the private sector as a job creator. That's his ticket past Santorum.

might not sting enough...and the google problem may end up being mostly a footnote if the Kochs & other deep pockets decide they can run with him. The thing is, I can imagine them making something passable of him. He's not a loose cannon loaded down with baggage like the newt.

I know he has no ground game or much infrastructure.. How much of that can vast pools of money provide?
