The Republican Nomination For President: The Race For The Race For The White House

@firefly,

There's the small matter of the "If true" caveat ff. But I know I can't expect a little think like that stopping you talking dirty again like you did for weeks on end in the DSK fiasco.

I have just as much right to interpret the lady's claim how I see it as you have how you see it. She looks like a lady who is pretty obsessed with maintaining her sex appeal.

And I don't know anything about the settlements. Once the claims were made the ladies were on the way out anyway and it might be that they were more severance payments than admissions of Mr Cain's guilt.

@ossobuco,

I think groping an unwilling person is disgraceful. I once saw a gang of ladies apply boot polish to an unwilling male's balls and everybody laughed.

@JPB,

Actually, I'm finding that Gingrich sounds better and better compared to the others.

But, among other things, I'm not sure the family values crowd would go for a three times married man with his past history of having affairs. That would have been a problem for Rudy Giuliani too.

@Rockhead,

It wasn't me Rockie. Those ladies had considerable respect for my estimable jewels as three or four of them subsequently proved. It might have been five or six. It's all a bit blurred now. I had an E-type Jag for ****'s sake and the poor lad only had a bike.

@firefly,

It's the same as Clinton. Those who like him will convince themselves that it's just not relative to job performance. Those who don't will find it highly relavant. That's just the way people are.

I commend Perry's people for an admirable response to his debate "brain-fart." The humor angle was certainly the way to go. All of us have gone through the same experience. Today a lady came into my store and bought an 18x24" pad of paper (which she put under her arm) and a couple of other items. Turning to leave, she asked "Where is my pad?" There was silence for a few seconds and then laughter all around as she said "Oops. A Perry moment."

She had rehearsed it Johnnie. She's after you.

@spendius,

Here in the states it has often been called a "senior moment." I am well aware of it, always confusing the names of my employees.

@realjohnboy,

I gave up on employees a long time ago. It's okay if there's an employee to deal with them.

@reasoning logic,

Spendi is a Northerner, he despises Lomdon.

@roger,

I did not vote for Clinton, second term. Did not vote Dole, either. Voted either Nader or some other no chance ticket.

@edgarblythe,

Was that like a protest vote, for the principle of the thing? Do you see it as having any more meaning as it would have if you had just not cast a ballot?

@snood,

Survey finds Florida GOP voters would rather fix the economy by eliminating tax loopholes or foreign wars than cutting Social Security or Medicare.

Quote:

By wide margins, the survey shows that Republicans of all kinds — whether they’re Hispanic, moderates or in the tea party — would rather fix the nation’s budget by withdrawing from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, eliminating foreign aid or eliminating so-called tax loopholes.

But despite these sentiments of GOP voters, many of the Republican frontrunners for president are more likely to support trimming benefits than raising tax revenues or getting out of foreign entanglements.

“There’s a major disconnect between what the candidates and other folks in Washington want and what the voters think when it comes to Social Security and Medicare,” said Jeff Johnson, AARP’s interim Florida director.

“For the candidates and lawmakers, Social Security is a budget problem we need to fix the math on. Medicare is a budget problem we need to fix math on,” Johnson said. “But this isn’t about math for voters. This is about voters’ retirement.”

...

The poll also reflects an irony, of sorts, with voters: The candidates who most want to withdraw from foreign wars, Jon Huntsman and Ron Paul, were among the least likely to be favored.

@snood,

I actually preferred Nader to the other two, at one time.

@snood,

Come on, Snood, you're not thinking. I did not vote for Clinton or his opponents on either occasion--i got a paper ballot, and wrote my own name in. But there's more on the ballot than just Prez and VP--there are the two other national votes, for Representative and Senator, and there's state and local candidates, ballot initiatives, bond and tax levy initiatives. It would be grossly irresponsible not to case a ballot.

@Setanta,

I don't think snood was saying, or even implying, that a ballot shouldn't be cast. He was only asking edgar a question.

And, by "ballot", I assumed he was referring only to the vote for President/VP, not to the entire slate of candidates on the complete ballot sheet.

I could not agree with you more. Even if one doesn't want to cast a vote for one particular office, there are always other offices on the ballot, and often propositions as well.
I think the relatively low voter turnout rate in the U.S., even in a Presidential election, is a disgrace.

Since I've been eligible to vote, I have voted in every single primary and general election that's been held. Not only do I consider it a privilege to vote, I genuinely believe my vote counts. I really wish that everyone felt that way.
