Here are three of the former candidates for the Republican nomination. I’ll look forward to their appearances at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa Bay this August.
With Dick Santorum out of the race (yeah, I know what I wrote), and Newty Gingrich irrelevant but for the existence of his wife’s hair, Mittens Romney is the presumptive nominee as of today, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the launch and sinking of the Titanic.
Unmarried former NYC Mayor Ed Koch, 87, as seen at the Broadway opening of Gore Vidal’s “The Best Man” on Sunday, and Warner Brothers cartoon star Beaky Buzzard, now 70.
Alleged comedian and host of “Are You Smarter Than a 5th-Grader?” Jeff Foxworthy endorsed Mitt Romney yesterday during campaign stops in Alabama and Mississippi. Perfect. So you know you’re smarter than a 5th-grader if you prefer Romney over Gingrich and Santorum. But not much.

That’s Tricia Nixon Cox, 66, eldest daughter of Tricky Dick Nixon, as she appeared yesterday to introduce Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the U.S.-China Conference in Washington, D.C.
Disgraced President Nixon met with Chinese leaders forty years ago. In 1971, Tricia brought Cox into Dick’s family (ahem).
Edward F. Cox is Chairman of the New York Republican State Committee.
Their son, Chris Cox, 32 (above), served as John McCain’s Executive Director for NY State in the 2008 campaign, and ran for Congress in 2010. He lost. Can you see Dick in him?
