Why the Heck Does Guam Get Nine Delegates to the Republican Convention?

No senators, no congressmen, no Electoral College representation, and yet Guam gets nine delegates? And all of them for Romney? Hey, can we sell Guam to somebody? I mean, why not? We won it fair and square in the Spanish-American War and now we’ve got a budget deficit. What’s Guam done for us lately?  Maybe China’s in […]

If Rick Santorum Wins Kansas …

. . . it will add to the valuable perception of renewed momentum he got from his strong showing on Super Tuesday, when he won primaries in Tennessee and Oklahoma, as well as the North Dakota caucuses, came within 1% of Romney in Ohio, and ran a strong second nearly everywhere else.

Webfoot Art Robinson For Congress!

by Smitty While I live in the shadow of Mount Vernon, I actually hail from the left coast. Coos Bay, smack in the heart of Oregon’s 4th Congressional District, in fact.

If You Think Mitt Romney Is ‘Electable’ …

. . . just wait. Maybe you’re right. But if you’re right, why are liberals so eager to have Romney as the Republican nominee? Maybe you think George Stephanopoulos is stupid?
