LOL, but it's pretty close, just without all the sci-fi crap.

I have a hard time saying I wouldn't vote for a Mormon because I know there are a lot of people who wouldn't vote for a Catholic, but I really don't know if I ever could. I do know that I wouldn't vote for Romney. ;)

Yeah, but you'd probably vote for Hillary...so we'll see who ends up on the winning side of that...

If it came down to McCain versus Clinton, I'd vote McCain everytime. Hillary's a horse-faced bitch. It's not that I don't think a woman can't do a president's job, I just think she's not the right woman.

That depends on what my options were. I like her in the Senate, I don't know that I'd like her in the White House.

Ideally I'd vote for Feingold but I don't think he'll run.

I just hope some new candidates pop up because I'm not a fan of any of them! I don't want a rematch like 04 where I had to decide between the lesser of two evils.

Feingold, I'm surprised he still lives in America after getting bitch slapped by Frist on the Senate floor.

I wouldn't really call Frist sticking his head in the ground like an ostrich being bitch-slapped.

I would, when you threaten something, and then somebody says "ok go for it" and then you wuss out, thats a pretty significant bitch slap.

so i just caught the daily show episode where they're reporting from new hampshire - its a hoot

Right, and Frist had never heard anything about wanting to censure Bush before. Maybe he was too busy diagnosing Terry Schiavo from afar to clean out his ears or read the paper.

What does Mr. GP think about Romney?

Just curious...

I personally am not a Frist fan, I was glad to see him drop his bid. However, Russ getting called out by Frist is indicative of the disconnect between Feingold and the mainstream left. He has about as much a chance as Santorum.

Well at least you don't pretend you're not a bigot, I'll give you that much.

The irony is beautiful.

As for the south, the SBC doesn't run the south. Obviously there will be a hold up, but seeing as Mitt will likely emerge as the most conservative realistic candidate, I don't think you'll see southerners swarming to the polls for McCain or a certain yank from NY. Unless something happens (scandal!), I think Mitt will be the GOP candidate. You can hold me to it.

No the SBC certainly doesn't run the South -- only parts of it. (Just kidding.) And I know many good people who are Mormons as well.

But I also know many more Baptists and other evangelicals who consider Mormonism a cult, not that far from Scientology or Jehovah's Witnesses.

Check out Gallup's Poll on the subject (9th one down, I think). 66% of those polled said America isn't ready for a Mormon president -- only atheists and gays did worse.

I still say that I will be surprised if the GOP nominates Romney.
