I love toast, with butter, jam, cream cheese, even peanut butter. Gimme toast in the morning. Yes!
But "toast" has a political meaning which when applied to some candidate it implies this person is history (another great term now deprecated by toast) in the hunt for electoral victory.
So in politics today, we have our first order on the table. Rick Perry is toast. Other Republicans are in the toaster, perhaps including Lindsay Graham, Jim Gilmore, George Pataki, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Santorum. With more toaster room available, possibly Scott Walker may jump in, though he is as feisty as anyone in the field.
On the Democratic side with far fewer candidates, Martin O'Malley is toast, though only he doesn't yet know it. Jim Webb is in the toaster, and maybe Hillary Clinton is drifting that way. I wonder about Hillary though, and why she drifts down. Except for her colossal misjudgments, could it be that she encouraged the self-promoted moniker "inevitable" and this conflicts with a strong American distaste for inevitability and love for the underdog?
On the other hand, if Donald Trump was declared toast, he'd lambast the institution of toast, and his poll numbers would rise again. :)
