When the latest flavor of the month is done with, there's always Vanilla Mitt

"Corporations are people, just like all of you!"

The top of the ice cream case has recently been stocked with assorted flavors of the month. One by one, they have become all the rage only to soon melt away. And there, at the bottom of the refrigerated case is good ol' Vanilla Mitt somehow managing to find itself at the "top" again, for lack of a better word.

If it wasn't Michelle Bachman, it was Rick Perry. Then for a while, the self-described black walnut flavor, Herman Cain came into vogue. Well, after a week of zany commercials and repeated missteps, republicans are going back to the basics once again. Republicans have tried a variety of seasonal favorites but keep coming back to the current standard bearer, "Vanilla Mitt" Romney.
