I was hoping this day wouldn't come, honestly. I dread another term of Obama, but I don't think any of the GOP candidates can beat him.
Santorum is a big government social conservative who seemed more concerned with ending porn than economic issues. He had zero chance, and the only reason he was still around is because the more legitimate GOP candidates other than Romney clobbered each other early in the race.
Rick Perry Chris Christie Mitch Daniels Tim Pawlenty Successful governors who either fizzled out early (Perry and Pawlenty) or didn't run (Christie and Daniels). You knew Pawlenty wasn't going anywhere in the race when in his first week as a candidate he told a crowd in Iowa that he wanted to end their ethanol corn subsidies. His "I only tell the truth" shtick, while refreshing, was just too honest to work.
its like needles come through grapes now, and I refuse to eat 2,000 beans to build trust in these crazy cyborgs
This is the single greatest moment in political history, though I think they should have put Colbert's bald eagle in at the end of it. "I am Ammuurrriiiccaaa!" [video=youtube;lwawPMSJins]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwawPMSJins&feature=player_embedded[/video]
It's early April. The significance of this, IMO, is that Romney can spend all the rest of the money he raises (and has raised so far that's left) addressing Obama. The general premise of the ads I foresee is "Obama's a good guy, over his head as president."
The extra few hundred $million he gets to raise and spend against Obama won't hurt. That kind of money got our president elected last time.
