It's not genetic, it's lifestyle-related.  If Argentine women weren't so fixated on staying thin at all costs, they'd age a lot better.
If only all people were like the Argentine people :( :wub:

How does him having an affair affect the well-being of the people of that state?  :rolleyes:
I think the implication is that he needs to stay in SC and keep not governing and embarassing everyone because it's important for him personally, for his 'personal and spiritual growth' or some such nonsense.

It's impossible not to embarass them.  It's South Carolina.  Just being there is humiliating.

I think the GOP really dodged a bullet on this one.  He was a likely contender for the Republican nomination.  The guys not prime time material.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Does the GOP have anybody else left for 2012? An 81 year old McCain, Palin, another shot with Huckabee...

The three most likely IMO:  Romney, Pawlenty, or Jindal.  Huckabee and Palin will both most likely enter, but will flame out.

Romney, Palin, Huckabee, Pawlenty, Crist, Jindal. Not bad. And plenty to arise from the shadows. Giuliani will probably go for NY Governor 2010. Jeb Bush 2016.

Doomsday attitude about Republicans is silly. Reminds me of 2004 after Bush was re-elected, and everybody cried that the Dems were dead.

If Sarah Palin is one of your serious contenders, then you are doomed. And I say this as somebody who thinks the GOP has a pretty good shot at 2012.

She's a serious contender for the nomination. She's still very popular in some circles.

I don't think that Sarah Palin is a serious contender in the mind of anyone other than herself and the most insane Christians around.

I disagree about Palin, I just don't see it.  Everyone gets caught up in hysteria late in the election cycle and is willing to overlook even major shortcomings in their politicians.  However, elections are over now, and Republican post-election insanity has to abate eventually.  Would Palin stand up to the scrutiny after having already started in the hole?  I very much doubt it.

Everybody's going to be voting Republican in 2010 and 2012, after seeing what a mess allowing non-whites to govern gets you into.
