That's pretty interesting. Ironic though: today we would gladly accept some serious accountant talk with promises of balancing the budget. Nobody seems to care about all that quality of life stuff now.

I agree. She survived longer than that with no weapons and no training.

Many people stopped being conservative.

Newt had another strong performance in last nights Huckabee Forum (One of the best debate models I've seen yet btw) and it looks like he's going to pick up some of Cains support. Perry is the only other likely candidate I can see picking up Cain Supporters, but I think it'll be too little too late. He stumbled a bit last night over the whole "Executive Order" issue with Obama Care, though he did manage to nuance his way out of it; still, a Perry Nuance is fairly clumsy.
Newt is enjoying himself on the campaign trail, has managed to stay disciplined so far (the thing most think can sink him) and Democrats are trying to poison the well by leaking stories that they secretly hope he wins the nomination, while laughably claiming Romney is the only electable one. He's managed to maintain his front runner status despite the attacks against him of the past week by both Democrats and Republican insiders as he's fairly well inoculated from the "baggage" people keep talking about. It'll be very difficult for opponents to pull an "October Surprise" on him because we already know all the bad stuff they can dredge up, and much of it is falsehoods and misreading of context. I think the man has a very good chance of pulling it off and depending on who he would choose as a running mate, could only make his chances better.

I think a Paul VP nod would be a bad idea, though I wouldn't mind seeing Ronny get a cabinet post and a little more influence over economic policies, maybe Huntsman who seems to be a favorite of many and could appeal to moderate voters because he did work for Obama and knows his shiznit when it comes to Foreign policy. Though, it's still a little too early to be thinking about that, we'll see if he wins Iowa. If he does, he just might pull out New Hampshire, and if he wins both, well, then it'll be time to start thinking of a running mate.

Why Would I Read the Article: Shouldn't Dems love Gingrich? He's for a balanced budget, national health care and wants to attack global warming, which would seemingly make him beloved on that side of the aisle. It's almost as if Democrats don't know anything about him other than that they hate him because they think they're supposed to hate him. It's weird, because normally Democrats aren't so ignorant about everything (there really needs to be a sarcasm font).

Because you would have used that font for the first two sentences?

Arianna Huffington has always been a shallow opportunist.

In the mid 1990s, she was a die-hard Republican because she desperately wanted her gay husband Michael elected to the U.S. Senate.

Once her husband divorced her -- and with the Senate out of reach -- she was no longer the same person. She drifted away from the Republican party to seek out greener pastures.

Arianna has no core political beliefs. She only cares about Arianna.
