What I would like to see is someone addressing whether Obama knows what he is doing, though.

This whole 2 term limit concept isn't looking so hot right now.

Sorry, garbon.  I think HC would make a decent prez but she is really flailing right now.

I am kind of amazed really. I thought that even with all the republican drama, this was going to be kind of boring. Clinton was the clear favorite among the Dems, and the Repulicans are imploding, so Yawn.

Now...who fucking knows?

Intersting, if Rubio doesn't get 2nd place in NH this election will drag on for a while and the establishment's chances drop.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I can almost see an opening for your boy Kasich...but probably not.

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

Hopefully, Kasich's rising above the fray in the last debate will clinch it for him.  But Christie's aggro on Rubio is likely to reap some kind of boost at the voting booth.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Yes.

First, Ben Carson kicked it off by being massively awkward during his entrance.

Then the Marco Rubio robot developed a bug and kept repeating the same line over and over.

Is your vote for NY, CA, or some other group of delegates?
