The only path to victory for him was to, a la Palin, skip the debates and not give interviews -- which is exactly what they've done in Texas for years. And when those restrictions weren't put in place, it didn't take long for him to start babbling about Ponzi schemes and lynching Ben Bernanke.
Game over.
