Headline of the Day

TPM: "Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush Less Popular Than Last Year." Perfect. That is just a perfect headline.

The story is just a bunch of stats about percentages of people who have favorable and unfavorable views about the probable 2016 presidential candidates, compared to stats at different times.

And, frankly, this far out from even the active primary season, those stats are virtually meaningless.

They don't even have any significant relevance for the potential candidates, as they weigh whether to run, because, as long as they register somewhere among likely voters, their major decision-making will be centered around assessments regarding how much money they will be able to raise. Because DEMOCRACY!

Still. I love that headline.
