Now, many tell us Romney is dead unless he wins in New Hampshire, Rudy is already toast and Hillary is almost toast. The common denominator is that the punditocracy has been consistently wrong, which will not deter them from continuing their pseudo-omniscient, mostly erroneous analysis.

My father used to joke that the definition of expert had to be broken into its component parts. Ex obviously means "has been" and pert is defined as a "drip under pressure." It appears from David's thoughts on the campaign that my father's definition fits.
