We need to learn from Bosoton. But we don’t need is to turn ourselves inside out worrying about sinister plots and police motives.

Ron Paul
Lugar, Indiana and Fischer, Nebraska.
Voting out Senator Dick Lugar is currently the biggest bet of the 2012 season. The payoff, however, is a real concern. The decision to unseat the third-longest serving Senator wasn’t just a bet, it was betting the farm on Indiana State Treasurer Richard Mourdock. A round of applause, first. One has to wonder what the … Continue Reading →
… and while we’re at it, let’s take a shot at Ann, too!
With the certainty of Romney being the Republican nominee, the two-party road to the White House race is now officially under way. Filled with all of the mud-slinging, character assassination and political spin & folly that makes presidential politics better than any staged “reality” show, it is a process that has that has elevated simple propaganda … Continue Reading →
Martes Gigante, AKA Super Tuesday

While it’s too close to call, here’s something to take a look at. With 51% of the precincts reporting, Mitt Romney owns a 20,410 vote lead (per … Continue Reading →
Tracking Michigan tonight
This is a great link for general election returns, a sort of overview that highlights key elements of the state. The UP counties should be closing in a minute, so we’ll finally get to see some results to this wacky primary season. ***(I found a great raw vote link, thanks to the wizards of TPM)*** … Continue Reading →
Time for voting
I need to buy raisins for bread pudding. The trick is to let the bread soak overnight. Oh, and I also have to vote. There’s still about 2.5 hours left to vote. So if you’re getting out of work, or prepping for the Wings away game in Columbus, you can still get a partisan ballot for … Continue Reading →
