This post exists primarily because we need an Open Thread. But it does give me an excuse to say to Larry Johnson: “You’ve got Rick Santorum nailed as lacking executive experience. And WTG for calling out Little Ricky for his earmark addiction.” Since, for inexplicable reasons, Romney and his staff don’t publicize Mitt’s impressive list [...]

For the purpose of having a 100% analytical discussion, we must eschew blanket statements such as “I don’t trust Romney” or unverifiable remarks such as “Romney can’t win.” Assertions are welcome but must be backed by evidence ranging, for example, from persuasive objective arguments along with facts and/or verifiable history. Above all, let’s endeavor to [...]

Do I need a hearing aid? Oh, and give me Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, K.D. Lang, Nat King Cole, and the many other greats who know how to sing the words in a song, not beat by beat, but phrase by phrase. Madonna sang the words like bifurcated strips of words that bore no relationship [...]

UPDATE: Despite his vow, yet again, to run a positive campaign, Newt’s this-ain’t-no-damn-concession speech stank. Newt BOMBED. To quote Bret’s panelist, the exceedingly sharp A.B. Stoddard, “This will be remembered as one of the most remarkable moments of the entire 2012 election, primary and general. He came out and wandered in minutiae about petty complaints, [...]

In the real world, there never is the “right” candidate. Why? Because they don’t exist. I think I came to this realization only recently. What can I say? And since I have a lot of years on my tires, it apparently takes a long time to figure out that all of my crushes (asexual) on [...]

Who knew that CNN’s Don Lemon had it in him. Lemon, the anchorman’s anchorman, invariably appropriate, nary a hair or word out of place, and therefore, to this viewer, usually a boring snooze. Damn, Don Lemon. Was that really you?

Update: Ever notice that Mitt Romney is the only candidate who sings the national anthem, along with the performers? And — get this — Callista Gingrich, a music major who sings these days in her Washington, D.C. Catholic church, stood silent with a stern look, as if she was bored by the ritualistic singing of [...]

What is behind this tectonic shift in GOP presidential primary polls from Mitt Romney to Newt Gingrich? Testosterone and impatience. Republican voters’ fantasies are skipping the primaries and fast-forwarding to the mano a mano battles next fall. Their testosterone-fueled “wet dreams” come with their highly-anticipated fantasies envisioned in the “finger lickin’ good” possibility of debate [...]

It’s all about the politics of the 2012 presidential race. Obama’s #1 (and only) concern? Obama winning the 2012 reelection race. But what about the rest of us, about whom Obama does NOT care?
