I have thought this all along, as others can testify, but I'll just say it now for the record: It will be Romney, it has always been Romney, and he will lose.  It's too bad so much money has been wasted on this race.  I have a somewhat less strong feeling that he will take Santorum as his VP, but I'm not really sure about that. I hope he doesn't, because Santorum is one scary dude.  If he does, he will lose even harder.  There you have it, we'll see what happens.

Finally! Jeez...why did it take this long? She could have asked me a long time ago and I could have told her she didn't have a chance. Maybe she's stayed in this long in hopes for a cabinet position, or possibly a dream of being VP. Personally, I hope to never have to hear her voice again. She is one scary woman to me, at least as a president.

Holy shit...this is big! This could mean the reunification of Korea, it could mean World War III, or it could mean more of the same. We'll see how this plays out. The suspected successor to Kim Jong-il is his youngest son, who is likely in his twenties. Let's hope he's not a crazy, power-hungry, dictator type and has some mind to bring peace and stability to the area.

Sorry, Rick, but we're not all super-conservative Christians in this country. Republicans talk so much about getting rid of government, getting government out of our lives, and Rick Santorum wants to start regulating our sex lives. You are free to your beliefs and opinions, but doesn't this start to look like a dictatorship if you are going to start telling people when and how they can have sex. I suppose "missionary" will be the only legal position? Presidents "don't talk about these things" because it's none of their business, and it's none of yours.
