Unless…

 Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Four years ago, we knew neither Ron Paul nor Rick Santorum would be president.

Six months ago, we knew neither Ron Paul nor Rick Santorum would be president.

One month ago, we knew neither Ron Paul nor Rick Santorum would be president.

Two days ago, we knew neither Ron Paul nor Rick Santorum would be president.

This morning, we know neither Ron Paul nor Rick Santorum will be president.

Given the cavalcade of crazies that has populated the Republican primary to date, amazingly, the party is on the verge of nominating Willard Mitt Romney–the heartfelt choice of nearly 22 percent of GOP voters–by acclamation.

In the meantime, though, perhaps Chuck Norris, Amy Grant, and some of the other PAX network luminaries can come up with a new version of “Yes We Can” celebrating Senator Santorum’s photo finish.
