Garfield

It's a fair question. In my opinion, it's Rick Perry. He isn't in the limelight much, save for some awful performances in debates, but with that set aside, as hard as it is to set aside, he has a directness that, when he uses it, makes him formidable when dealing with opponents. As much as he has looked like a joke in the few times he's showcased, he's the governer of Texas, where I live, and has a very impressive jobs record in the state, and thumbed his nose at the religious right with the HPV issue. If it were up to me, he would be it, but there are a lot of conservatives who want anyone but him, but with Michelle Bachman and Herman Cain as the darlings, to name just two, he's far from the weakest of the bunch.

That's great news!

I wasn't in as much a minority as you think. There were quite a few people who simply thought that anyone with a D could beat whoever the Republicans put up against them, yes, but at the same time, a lot were also concerned about dropping the ball. At the time, and still now, I thought and think that Clinton would have been better. But to that point in the campaigns, Obama had only given vague speeches, and Clinton had seemed shrill. The point is, a lot can happen in ten months.

It has to be a parody, or otherwise, it would be a

That's not an inaccurate view at this point. Then again, I was on the left at this point in the Democratic primaries four years ago, and I wasn't crazy about any of the Democratic candidates running at that point, including Obama.

So, if The Pack was Buffy's Moon of the Wolf, is Beer Bad its Terrible Trio?

Being one of the few conservatives on this forum, I'd comment, but I don't have the time to answer all the responses I'd get.

Fair enough. I can't say I'm a fan of Ron Paul, but I know quite a few people who are.

I have an ear, or rather internet connection. Just shoot me a PM, if you want to.

Talk about this primary is purely academic. Santorum and Paul have a combined -80% chance of getting the nomination.

Can't say that bothers me that much. It's better than giving Brad Meltzer one.

I know it's late, but I hope you had a good one.

I wish everyone the best Christmas ever!

You know, I really hate blood tests. They're the only things that have ever given me panic attacks.

Congratulations!

That is made of awesome.

I would totally go for that.

Was it that bad?

Please tell me Bane doesn't call him "Senior Batman".

Many of the things he said about religion outright offended me, but he was nontheless a brilliant man.

Ha! When did it get a sense of humor?

Politics may be the only arena where a perfectly sane person can be called crazy.

By the power of...North Pole?
