So, whatcha'll think of Vice President Chris Christie??? :D

Michale

I only count my top three picks, personally, so your record is a bit better, I would think.

dsws -

SC is known for vicious and brutal campaign tactics (see: McCain's "black baby" rumor, also see: Max Cleland superimposed upon photo of Osama Bin Laden). So we'll see who stays up in the polls after a few weeks of this...

1) John McCain brought more people to the polls than this race. Yes, that John McCain.

2) Best tweet: Tie between the following

Congrats, GOP! You just nominated the awkward John Kerry. @pandagon

If Santorum was smart he'd hire Bain Capital to buy Romney's campaign and sell it at a loss. @AntDeRosa

3) Out of the exit polls. GOP voters splits 60 to 40 for deficit reduction vs. job creation. Yet one of the deciding factors was the overwhelming support those in favor of job creation gave to Mitt Romney. Still deciphering what this may mean.

A few random thoughts that stood out to me from today's front page at dKos.

3 of 11 so far.

Oh well

Minor congratulations to CW for going with the conventional wisdom when it turned out to be right.

I'm surprised to hear that Romney is leading in SC. I thought that was the sort of infrared state that would go for one of the beyond-the-fringe candidates instead of someone whose nomination would almost bring at least part of the Party back to the rightmost edge of the conservative range. On the one hand, what's best for the country normally is whatever's worst for the Republican Party. On the other, it would be nice to have a conservative party and a center-right party, at least compared to the status quo of one enthusiastic radical-right party and one that's radical-right mostly out of spinelessness.

I think the last day has hurt Romney badly. Afraid of pink slips, bequeathing fortunes, firing people, its bad to serve your country for a democrat, ... I still think he'll win but his cushion is gone. And those votes will go to Huntsman, not Paul or Gingrich.

Romney
Huntsman
Paul
Gingrich
Santorum
Roemer
Perry (and yes I'm going to count it if Roemer beats Perry)

I'll only count 3/4 of a win for the sequencing because I have no possible idea of the percentages.

I had a guy over one time. He grabbed my parrot and threw it at my piggy bank and yelled, "ANGRY BIRDS!!!!"

:D

And while we are fully aware that nothing will likely ever compare to the 2008 Hillary/Obama slugfest in terms of sheer entertainment value,

Trooo dat!! That's why I have to giggle when I read how people here are so entertained by the GOP primary this year.. It's a family fun picnic compared to the bruiser that was the Dem 2008 Primary.. I mean, seriously... In what bizarro alternate dimension would Bill Clinton (the first 'black' president) be accused of being a racist!!
Even back then, ObamaBots would drop the 'RACIST' slur at the drop of a dime...

JBL,

Once all this material has been screened for nonfactual material, it ought to be pretty effective.

Sheeya right... The Obama team will "screen for non-factual material" when monkees fly outta my butt!!
