Just got back from Jerome county caucus. We didn't do a second round of voting cuz Romney took 61.9% on the first round. Breakdown was: Romney - 61.9 Santorum - 18.9 Paul - 13.8 Gingrich - 5.2 Roemer - 0

They did open the event with someone explaining the caucus and asking people to register Republican, even if only long enough to the caucus. He also stressed the point that anyone who is 17 and will be 18 before November can and should caucus as well. There were tables in the lobby with both...

Really? Did you catch Romney's immediate answer to the question about NDAA at the last debate? He said clearly he would have signed it, he thinks it's good. Yes, it's power that could be abused, but he trusts Obama and when he's president you'll just have to trust him.

I just stumbled across this article on the Guardian and was blown away. This is major. I mean, I'm not surprised so much at his attitude as I am at the openness of it. But even more than that, I can't believe no one here in the US even thought this was worthy of mention in a news story. I can't...

ARG 1/17-1/18: Newt 33 Mitt 32 Ron 19 Rick 9 http://americanresearchgroup.com/

He answered at least one very quickly and directly and it chilled me to the bone:

Awesome video. People need to see this.

I posted this earlier today on Facebook. Any other opinions on my prediction?
