All the turmoil in the GOP 2012 field only enables Mitt Romney—and that must make the White House very happy. Former Bush speechwriter Matt Latimer on the Republicans' disastrous presumptive nominee.

Well, this is embarrassing. Mere weeks into the thrill-deprived 2012 election season and I am already changing my prediction. There were more than a few of us in Washington who believed that Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty would eventually triumph in the Republican primaries under the slogan, "He Annoys You The Least."

With the latest fundraising news, and yet another round in the Newt Gingrich gaffe-o-lympics, it looks like the GOP is going to come up Romney after all. All this of course is wonderful news for the Obama White House.

There is no more ideal candidate for the President to run against than Governor Rombot himself.
