Alternatively, have you considered smoke-filled rooms ?  :bowler:

The Ron Paul supporters have that covered.

I'm a bit surprised by Santorum's surge here.


And worried too.

Yeah, but they forget to vote and instead get six monster burgers from Hardees.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Good god, could you lot not hurry up and choose a/any candidate.

Nope.  Just like our TV shows require 20+ episodes instead of 6 we like to drag the drama out.

President Santorum?

Well, at least he could be relied upon to put a smart-bomb through the window in Marti's flat.

Pretty fucking boneheaded.

Anyone know if Santorum's states have open primaries/caucuses?  I'm wondering if he won because of a deluge of Idy Logs.

I doubt it. My understanding is that strategic voting is actually very rare. Plus, you'd have to be a pretty committed strategic voter to go to a caucus, which I imagine is a much bigger pain in the ass than regular voting.

It'd be funny except for the fact that there are people of legal voting age who actually will believe that pile of horseshit.

If we elect Jughead as President, then does that mean Archie will become Secretary of State? :hmm:

Are there any prominent ginger males in Congress?  :hmm:

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

There is no evidence that my camps do anything but provide badly needed essential services.

I got some resistance earlier about my theory that organization is less important than being the most hardcore in these caucus states--it seems I was right on this one (you are unlikely to see me posting many follow ups for all the times I am wrong).

Also, Romney sucks as a candidate.

Also, I got a chuckle out of headlines like "surging Santorum" and "show me Santorum" this morning.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
