All I know is that there's no way the GOP would have allowed this guy the nomination... he has no chance of winning as it is, but if by some miracle he did, he'd be caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy. :)
He's already been caught with a dead boy...

Well, if Ron Paul wins every delegate from now on in every race he can win the election with 57 delegates to spare.
How realistic is that scenario, though?  Ron Paul hasn't won a single contest up to this point.  To have win almost every remaining delegate from this point on will require an enormous change in fortunes.

Well, his plan currently revolves around a airplane carrying Romney crashing into a bus with Gingrich and Santorum in it.
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

The dude's critique of Palin was based on her lack of understanding of issues, not her experience.
Which is fair.  If it was Schmidt though, from all reports, he suggested her.

Even if we have that though only Palin's unqualified.  Edward's is unfit for that, or almost any other, office.

Indeed.  The only office Edwards is fit for is God-Emperor.

When I heard about Santorum "cursing out" a reporter I figured it would make him look bad/worse.  But I have to say he went up slightly in my book, and not just because it's an NYT reporter.

Oh, please;  it's exactly because it was a NYT reporter.  Stop lying.

And it could've been a reporter from the National Inquirer, he was still an asshole about it.  That's not how a candidate should act, unless he's clinically insane, like Santorum.

I SAID IT'S NOT.  MOVE ALONG.

I think he actually kept his composure pretty well, and he was correct to literally call bullshit on a reporter distorting his words.  And as I've mentioned before, I'm not a particularly big fan of Santorum.

Derspeiss was also impressed when Santorum said he didn't want to make the lives of black people better.

Only two polls so far, but it looks like Santorum will not be able challenge Romney in the Wisconsin primary next week, leaving his next possible victory far away on April 24 in Pennsylvania.

QuoteAppearing on CNN, Romney said Russia "is without question our number one geopolitical foe. They fight every cause for the world's worst actors. The idea that he has more flexibility in mind for Russia is very very troubling indeed."

He noted that "Russia continues to support Syria, supports Iran, has fought us with crippling sanctions we wanted to have the world put in place against Iran. Russia is not a friendly character on the world stage and for this president to be looking for greater flexibility where he doesn't have to answer to the American people in his relations with Russia is very very troubling, very alarming. This is a president who is telling us one thing and is doing something else."

Way to go, Mitt.

Here's my favorite non-expletive Santorum quote of the last two days:

Quote"Rights should not, cannot, be created by a government because every time government creates a right, they can take that right away, and they can force you, as you've seen with Obamacare, they can force you to do something that are against what you believe is right for you and your family. They can do things that you believe are against the tenets and teachings of your faith, and that's not what rights are all about."

Well, as you also hate Russia that would have brought some needed clarity...
