Well yeah, it doesn't matter if the planet is ‘doomed’ Grumpy, This country is going to get stuck with one of them either way, which doesn't solve the problem nor does it provide hope for any of us. So, all I know and believe is that since Mitt Romney bought his way through this presidency, and he is not even liked by his own party, the republicans, and since the first time I saw him, he appeared pretty much a d#$#, I'm pretty convinced that he will lead this already broken country to ruin. And those are my two cents on the matter.

I'm amazed at the Ron Paul Support. I know he's famous in the internet, but it's just a landslide with this one.

~sigh~ I hate politics. I had someone who wanted to run for govornor in my state come into the place I work, and asked me to help them to get into office. Me being politically ignorant as I am, said sure. I am neither Republican nor Democrat, but unfortunately, I am now registered as a Democrat. ~sigh~ The woman had made her statement sound and look real good, and I thought she was a nice lady, so, wanted to give her a hand. She said that I could go back later and re-register as a Green Independant, but I don't know how easy thats going to be.

^ I thought it was more like a matter of opinion, but if I had to choose, my answer would not change. Personally, I feel that accepting one or the other is justifying the corrupt individual's actions themselves.

Who teh heck's been voting for Santorum?!?!

[I gotta admit I'm kind of disappointed that the Gingrich/Santorum crowd have remained completely silent. They could have at least come in here and taken a bow or something. :P]

I'm amazed at the Ron Paul Support. I know he's famous in the internet, but it's just a landslide with this one.

[Keep in mind that the question was "who do you want to win the republican primary?", and that eleven of the sixteen respondents have also said they want the democratic party to win the election itself. In the end, approx. three libertarians want Ron Paul to win the primary, which translates to less than 20% of all respondents. This is a more realistic number that is somewhat in line with actual primary results.]

[Well, the two most recent votes, romney/santorum, also want the democratic party to win. There might be cause for a "don't care" poll option for that particular question, or indeed all of them. With regards to butt froth, even butt froth is good with warm milk... Everything is good with warm milk. If the world were slathered with warm curdled milk... it would be a much better place.

I think I'll have to change my vote to populist romney republican. Hey, maybe if enough of us change our votes, the santorum/gingrich crowd will think it's okay to come forward :P]

Primary or Caucus, I don't believe Romney has it in the bag. Iowa, the state where the primaries were first held, just assigned their delegates and Ron Paul got 50% of the delegates. So yes this fight isn't over, Most of the contests that Romney is winning are beauty contests anyway, and Florida was the only one with bound delegates, However most states don't have bound delegates, and If Ron Paul wins 3 more states, i.e. Maine, Nevada, Washington, he gets invited to the convention regardless. And right then and there he might repeat history and win the nomination with the least amount of delegates going into the convention.

Yes, Romney is no where near a straight shot in.

About that...
