The first thing I think of on Martes Gigante is how many delegates are at stake. 437 soft-serve delegates are up for grabs in 10 states, and the big state to watch is Ohio. While former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum carried a lead in the Buckeye State prior to Michigan and Arizona, lots of polls … Continue Reading →
It is a little more than a day before the Michigan Primary. If you’re a first-time voter in the mood to vote, the Michigan Secretary of State has an easy link here. Polls open on Tuesday at 7:00 A.M. and close at 8:00 P.M. For me, it’s a no-brainer to root for Rep. Ron Paul. … Continue Reading →
Normally, I don’t go rogue with the Freep, but there’s a pertinent and sad quote that the former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney campaign continues to screw up, trying to sell Mitt back to Michigan without any of the sacrifice, effort, or pain that everyone else has endured here.

He also labeled President Obama with a “phony theology”, and is really having fun with his new-found status as a front-runner. But when it comes to women’s health, Rick is … Continue Reading →
I’m hearing that CNN’s Atlanta debate on March 1st is cancelled. Add that to the cancelled March 5th debate on MSNBC, and we’re left with one debate on Wednesday, Feb. 22 in Mesa, AZ. That puts 13 states across one debate, and 500+ delegates sit between now and March 6th. Part of me wonders if … Continue Reading →
With extremely low turnout in Colorado’s closed caucuses, many people seem surprised that Mitt Romney lost in Colorado to Rick Santorum by 5+ points.

Turnout usually is a factor, and in this case it is pretty plain to see that social conservatives brought … Continue Reading →
