Seriously, the GOP candidates are just now figuring this out? What do we have to do to get their attention, build Hoovervilles along the railroad tracks? This is why this election will turn. We've had 8 years of Republicans in the White House and the entire goddamn country is a big Fire Sale for anybody visiting from Europe. You can get a house in Tarrytown at the foreclosure auctions and a $300 tax refund from the feds is getting a positive buzz.

Uhm, I can't believe people running for president don't read the same news I do. There are some serious economic troubles my friends. That starts with a T and that rhymes with a B and that stands for Bush.

Texas Supreme Court Justice David Medina and his wife have been charged in an arson fire that destroyed their home in the Houston suburb of Spring last summer. Seriously? What kind of jacked up state are we running here? That's the kind of shit you'd expect to hear in Louisiana...or maybe New Jersey or something. (AAS)

That former fat ass Huckabee gave an interview on Belief.net where he's managed to alienate anyone that's not an evangelical Christian. Way to go.

BELIEF.NET: Is it your goal to bring the Constitution into strict conformity with the Bible? Some people would consider that a kind of dangerous undertaking, particularly given the variety of biblical interpretations.

HUCKABEE: Well, I don’t think that’s a radical view to say we’re going to affirm marriage. I think the radical view is to say that we’re going to change the definition of marriage so that it can mean two men, two women, a man and three women, a man and a child, a man and animal. Again, once we change the definition, the door is open to change it again. I think the radical position is to make a change in what’s been historic.

He gets in a subtle dig at Romney with his polygamy crack. Touche!

. Wonder if Bill will have access to interns if Hillary is elected?
Was going to create a Texas parallel, but worried about naming the ex-boyfriend of a gubernatorial candidate!

President Bush danced with Saudis in a traditional sword dance. He stood arm in arm with some Saudi prince waving a sword. If that's not homoerotic imagery I don't know what is.

This statement from the Al Edwards campaign needs a 7th grade English teacher to diagram it for me.

AL EDWARDS CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT CHALLENGING BORRIS MILES I am running for State Representative of District 146 again because I understand that redistricting will have a dramatic event on all of us. I know we need a strong Democrat to keep a Republican from controlling District 146. I want to help save and preserve TSU, Texas History more importantly Emancipation-JUNETEENTH and all of Texas culture. I am that unbiased individual who is willing to fight for the betterment of all citizens, especially for the improvement of our educational system.

This reporter from Rhode Island went to New Hampshire to see the primaries in person up there. First, I noticed the snow banks everywhere. Well, that's not true...first I noticed his teeth . Guy's got choppers, yo! (He's still cute, though) Then I noticed the long line of people to get in the polling place.

I thought, would I stand in that line in between big snow banks and freezing my ass off to vote?

In the wake of the New Hampshire primary, everyone is asking how the pundits and pollsters could have been wrong. Astrologers and psychics to the rescue! What a relief to know how it will all turn out! Even Merlin the Magician has weighed in.

The Chron is reporting an incident where Rep. Borris Miles crashed a party and made threats. This is the type of story you don't want coming out before a primary.
