Thoughts on the Republican Field
Now that I have watched the first GOP debate, I think it is a good time to discuss the contenders. Of course, I have no interest in a GOP President being elected, and given what I saw in the debate, and what I know of the candidates, a GOP President in 2008 would be an … Read more
The American Chauvinist Premiers

Renzi to give Democrats a Blue Arizona Delegation?
