They are basically attacking one another all, attacking Mitt Romney and going after him like Desperate Housewives go after one of their members.” Dan Rather said this morning on MSNBC.

Rather added that the GOP presidential candidates aren’t interested in talking to average Americans, but attacking each other to appeal to the “zealots” of the party.

“I think these Republican candidates must feel that they are kind of extras in the barroom scene from “Star Wars.” he added.

Dan Rather is in New Hampshire covering the primary for HDNet. He also appeared on CNN last night suggesting that if the election was held today, President Obama would probably lose.
