GOP Primary Megathread!

[Caliga]

What I want is a meaningful choice between two moderates.  I won't have that if anyone other than Romney wins.  Granted, one of the other two winning Mississippi and Alabama won't necessarily spell doom for Romney, but if Santorum wins both of these Newt might drop out and if all of the wackos go over to Santorum, Romney's path to the nomination gets more challenging.

In reality, I'll still probably vote third party like I usually do, but if Santorum actually gets the nomination I would probably vote for Obama.  Not that it matters all that much because Kentucky is always safe for the GOP in the general.

Like I said, if he had only called himself Barry Dunham, he would've avoided all this "Muslim" nonsense.

Also if he had avoiding being black. 

Really?  You think the the muslim thing is because he's black?  I guess Colin Powell & Herman Cain dodged a bullet, then.

[Caliga]

He's only half-black.

Santorum's won Alabama, probably gonna win Mississippi.

[derspiess]

Mississippi also now called for Santorum.  Scheisse.

Yes, yes I do.  I don't think Colin Powell is running for President.  Neither is Herman Cain for that matter.  "Muslim" is a more acceptable prejudice then "black".  Calling Obama a Muslim is way to call attention to his otherness.  He's not one of us.  He's different.  Alien.  The difference is of course, that he's black, not that's he's Muslim (which he isn't).  Same thing with the Kenyan thingy.  It's a way to point out that's he's not like us.  If Barry had a different name, they would use use some other way to draw attention to Obama's "otherness".

Romney was never going to win any true red states. This is more bad for Newt rather than bad for Mitt.

[Razgovory]

My questions are: how is Obama responsible for the San Diego electrical grid? Where else in the US are they suffering from rolling blackouts?

If Gray Davis could be responsible for it, seems only fitting to not let the President off the hook.

A little to late to recall George W. Bush, ain't it?

On whom are the 60% of Alabamans that think he's Muslim trying to use this strategy?

I think Raz's point is that they are the ones on whom the strategy has been used.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a serious question.

[jimmy olsen]

I believe that poll was just for Republicans in Alabama and Mississippi, not the statewide population.
