Countdown to November

The GOP candidates all seem to be racing to the extreme right.  Is there a chance any of them will fall off the end?

Moguls pay big bucks to elect them
And then they expect to direct them
Many who give
Are conservative
And dominate one end of the spectrum.

Even without donor pressure there is an incentive to move toward the extreme.

It's a dilemma all candidates face
In primaries they whip up their base
Then maintain that zeal
Yet broaden their appeal
If they get to the national race.

This marks the second anniversary of RubberTeeth.  I hope you have been enjoying it.  Happy new year.
