Robert Reich compares "bizarre group of characters" in GOP field to denizens of bar in Star Wars.

Robert B. Reich
Former Labor secretary; Professor of Public Policy at UC Berkeley :

Bring Michele Bachmann on -- along with Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, and Mike Huckabee. The tea party likes them all. Never before in modern history have the Republicans considered a more bizarre group of characters, who bear more resemblance to the denizens of the bar in “Star Wars” than to serious leaders. Their candidacies will only help President Obama, whose favorability ratings -- despite a level of unemployment that would sink most presidents – remain relatively high. He’s a statesman. They’re ideologues.
