Election Update

The Republican party race to select someone who is not Romney moves one step closer to selecting Romney. Gov Rick Perry announced he will be dropping out of the race. Or maybe he announced that he will be making an announcement later. I get confused some times. That leaves only two electable candidates remaining in the Republican field who are not Romney.

The Iowa caucus committee announced this morning that Rick Santorum and Romney officially were a tie in the Iowa Caucus. Seriously? When Mitt was 8 votes ahead, he was the clear winner, but when Santorum is 32 vote ahead, "we'll just say this is too close to call".

Too bad there aren't any conservatives running. That would make this an easy choice.

I wonder how bad a Biden/Clinton administration would be?

True. But who?

Any conservative. But high public office tends to squash conservatives and moderate them.

What do you get when you moderate a libertarian?

Better than Romeny since the Repubs would then feel some minor obligation to oposse them in the House.

"The munchies?"

Or Cotton Mouth.

Hale admit it, you're this close || to not only voting for Paul but sending him some money and campainging for him as well.

I don't send money to career politicians. They take enough without asking.
