      Al needs to get with Karl Rove.

      It's Guns, Gays and God--not Gun Lobby, Immigration and Evangelicals.

      Close Al, very close.

      What does it say about our democracy when Florida and Ohio hold the cards to the election?

      It says that something needs to change now so that we are in fact the United States.

      REMant Funny, I find 'Romney' and 'Perry' to be rather both "Chickenhawk and Uncle Tom catagories" Too. And they're both 'winning'!? What do 'Political Conservatives' Want? I don't think 'Political Conservatives' know what they want; Eletist Socialism maybe?.

      I imagine Christie has forgone furthering his political career by this decision, but I agree also with Hunt's feeling that he likely wouldn't have pulled off the nomination. It may have come down to income as much as anything else. I don't know about his possible chances in an election. Perhaps if he could attract Clintonians, assuming, of course that the president is not challenged in his own party. It was, in any case, no doubt a difficult position to be placed in.

      Cain certainly has better business credentials than any of the other GOP hopefuls, but no political ones, and appears to fall as well into both Chickenhawk and Uncle Tom categories. There is something artificial and insubstantial about him, and I doubt he can secure the nomination or beat Obama.

      Everyone is forming committees right now, but I doubt they will have much impact on this election, where ppl are looking more closely at substance, however, there is certainly both room and reason for a distinct third party, tho it certainly shouldn't be "moderate," unless, of course, you wish to concede the other two parties to their more radical elements.
