Still, though..

It occurs to me that being a villain is an obsolete concept.   :sad:

Interesting.  Apparently, if you either can't be bothered to meet requirements, or can't get thesupport you need for those requirements, the rules are unconstitutional.

Rick Perry either didn't or couldn't get the signatures to be included on the Virginia primary ballot... so he's filing a lawsuit.  (Gingrich didn't meet the requirements,  either.)

What I'm wondering is...  if he couldn't even get enough signatures to get on the ballot, does he think he has a snowball's chance of winning the state?

BBC reports Romney beat Santorum by 8 votes.  Paul came third, and Gingrinch/Bachmann trailed even further behind.

Which is actually pretty good news for Romney.  Santorum's a lightweight without national appeal, and Gingrinch is clearly not doing well.  So long as the latter stays down, the former can be easily dealt with.  Paul's not a credible risk either.

8 votes.  Sweet merciful fuck.  The fact that Santorum almost won is more evidence for the Malevolent God Theory.

Santorum would most definitely lose in an election with Obama in the race, though.  So, if worst came to worst, and the media spazzed out over Santorum like they have every other candidate who isn't Romney, and he seized enough of the New Hampshire vote to come second, which is quite possible (he'd need to grab around half of the undeclared voters there, not impossible with a media blitz), he'd be in a position to pose as the credible conservative alternative to Romney in South Carolina and Florida.

I personally don't think that will happen, because

a) Santorum is a lightweight and cannot handle intense media pressure, and
b) Romney almost certainly has some endorsements he'd held back thus far, and
c) he's unacceptable to most major Republican Party donors and backs, and
d) Newt Gingrinch can be relied on to attack him like the rabid dog he is.  Newt sucks at winning, but he can sure as hell drag someone down with him.

But it's not entirely implausible.

The thing is, I'm kinda interested to see a Romney/Obama race, because the two are pretty similar, and I want to watch "progressives" spazz out and try to find reasons why Mitt Romney is the worst, and he must be defeated in the most important election in history*


*Yes, I have seen the 2012 election referred to that.  Unironically, as far as I can tell.

It would be interesting to see what Romney would do.  I know he'd try to fuck up the healthcare bill, and while he's probably equal in terms of pro-business, he's a tad more blatant about it. 

I think that if he repealed healthcare and lowered taxes, that would be bad for the country, but not a total disaster.  But I'm tired of the morass of status quo, drifting slowly into the toilet.

Well, Ron Paul's economic plan would pretty much destroy the country.

Perry is about to drop, too.

He's already out 2 states, and only one state has actually had a caucus.

A conversation between me and my wife (who is a staunch Democrat):

MrsLMNO: I can't believe this shit about Santorum almost winning Iowa.

Me: Well, if you want Obama to win, you should be rooting for Santorum.  He wouldn't stand a chance in the general election.

MrsLMNO: Here's the thing:  I don't trust Americans.




And my heart goes all a-flutter.

Santorum just flunked out

QuoteIowa runner-up Rick Santorum said Thursday that he would be "a much bigger player" than expected in the New Hampshire primary and denied saying that he didn't want "to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money."

Santorum allegedly made the controversial comments when discussing welfare in an interview Wednesday night with Fox News, but he maintained that people misheard the word "black" when he stumbled on a word.

"I looked at that, and I didn't say that. If you look at it, what I started to say is a word and then sort of changed and it sort of — blah — came out. And people said I said 'black.' I didn't," Santorum said.

You either double-down on the racism, use better dog-whistles or don't go there at all.  Told ya he's a media lightweight.
