    TrakkerToo...

    (which would be ironic given their party's love of divisiveness!)

    Yes, live by dividing, and die by dividing.

    Your idea of splintering the GOP's votes even more is pretty interesting, but I really don't think Huckabee is going to be the nominee. Remember, it's always a "beauty contest" for the GOP. So, that can only mean one thing at the end. Romney. His hair says it all.

    I only wish I could see it so clearly for our side, but I can't, since we don't have any criteria as predictable as the beauty part. And the press is suppressing our more qualified candidates, just because they don't want to have to write about substance themselves. Since it's just soooo much hard work...

    The thought of a Bloomberg entry, though, just gives me a heavy feeling in the pit of my stomach, since he probably won't appeal to hard-core "values voters," but might actually attract some Democratic votes.
