Eh. The 2011-2012 campaign has already far exceeded my expectations.
I was fine with the "let's get delegates" strategy when I thought it was just a longshot. Now, with Santorum winning, Gingrich still in it, that longshot is looking a lot better. A victory in Maine (read: no shenanigans)...
I've heard Romney give the exact same "how much I love America" story on at least one other occasion. Minus the singing, though. Guess this is part of his standard thing. Bet the singing will be a one-time thing.
1. Less is more. Pick at most a handful of individual issues and make those your bread and butter. I wouldn't pick libertarianism as a whole.
2. Do your own research. Even if someone you trust tells you "this is a fact", make sure to trace everything down all the way to the source.
3. Be ready...
"People" is a bad way to descrive "this one individual and one other anonymous individual".
With newsletters spanning decades, it would be kind of important to know when Renae Hathway worked as the secretary.
