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

No, H2, you need to learn to face reality. And learn how to think before you post something obviously false.

i think this bears repeating.
well said, frank...

Thanks, Region. It truly is important.

Now that I've been reading Shop Class as Soul Craft, An Inquiry into the Value of Work, by Matthew B. Crawford, I'm seeing the work situation in the U.S. much differently than I did, say two weeks ago before I opened the book. In short, I think there are systematic changes that have been happening for about thirty years that will make the economy problematic no matter what party or independent is in the White House and Congress.

I'm no economist to make a smart judgement of this book, but Crawford backs up all he says: at the back of the book there are pages and pages of references re his points of view, a kind of bibliography of backup. Somewhere in the middle of reading it, I got a little irritated with Crawford in "how does he know all this" but that stopped when I started reading the notes. Who is he? He's a guy who has a doctorate from the University of Chicago in political philosophy who today runs a motorcycle repair shop in Virginia. Anyway, I think it's a worthwhile read re where we may well be headed re jobs.

I get you, Ossobuco. The entire of the "jobs" and "earning one's living" situation needs a systemic re-evaluation. I'm not sure I have time for the book right now, but I appreciate hearing about it.

That's all very interesting, but the most important issue this country faces is Obama.

He is a cancer and he must not be elected to a second term.

Besides my liking it, it's well reviewed, a NYTimes best seller, blah blah.

Interesting that you would have a transcript from Sunday Sept 7 2008 with Obama being asked questions when Obama wasn't on Meet the Press that day.

Once again Spurt proves he is a complete idiot by regurgitating crap that is clearly crap but he wants to believe it.

Poor Spurt. Did you find out you were just a wet spot with no purpose?

watersquirt probably lives in that nether world of a mental institution, and is very happy with himself. Delusional and stupid. He proves himself with every post.

Proven, again and again and.....

This is a perfect example of your inability to face reality, h2oguy. You are truly delusional and the sad sad thing is that there are millions more like you - brain dead ghouls who have somehow lost the ability to think.

The creator of the hoax didn't post it here at A2K, YOU did!

But I can understand your feelings. Why should people that can't think for themselves be responsible for what they say and write.

I couldn't have said it any better than

Nevada Republicans Lose
Romney won in the state's caucuses. Gingrich, Paul and Santorum didn't. The big loser was the Republican party leadership which ran an incredibly inept nomination event.
They abandoned the concept of a primary in 1996 due to the cost and the fear that turnout would be low. This cycle they scheduled the caucus for just a few days after Florida resulting in less attention from the candidates and the media.
Then there seemingly endless snafus yesterday with the caucuses themselves and the counting of votes which dragged on late into Saturday night.
The media finally decided to call the race for Romney, turn off the lights and head out of town.
In 2008, 44,000 people participated. This year it looks like it will be more like
38,000 (down almost 15%). I have mentioned before that, with the exception of SC, turnout amongst Republicans in the contests so far has been tepid.
BTW, it would be fine with me if you all stopped sniping at each other; that would be fine with me and I suspect with others here. Feel free to email each other directly.

It seems to me that primaries are a fancy opinion poll and one conducted with a selected sample of the population.

How many delegate votes has Mr Romney got in his pocket at this stage? How many does he need to have the convention choose him?

He's the nominee. In the bag. I have to say if he beats Obama I won't be as freaked out as I would be if any of the other GOP ass clowns (Huntsman aside) were to win the white house. Despite their differences in ideology (and I am way more in tune with Obama's) and the way they present themselves to their base for political advantage I think they're both moderate centrists at heart . I WILL vote for Obama however, that's a given.
