David M. Shribman: Bushes v. Romneys v. GOP unity

Decades-long loyalties to both families are being tested in a divided Republican establishment.

Mr. Romney and Mr. Bush are not sunshine and snowstorm versions of the same political profile. But they draw from the same fundraiser, organizer and activist pool. They’re scions of political giants, firmly in the establishment wing of the Republican Party, each with prep-school backgrounds and personas. They both have strong, imaginative records as governors — and cool temperaments. And they each claim a deep well of family and personal loyalty. Within the GOP establishment, loyalty is the virtue that is valued most — and is causing the most anxiety.

I sincerely hope they all manage to rip, shred then cannibalize themselves in epic form, right into the abyss.

One teeny bright side would be the GOP primary wars will offer up some interesting and possibly sordid topics as each ghoul uncovers interesting muck from the other ghoul's dirty linen closet.

Let the games begin.
