The weather outside is frightful.   Good day to be a duck.

Mitt Romney:   I voted for Mitt.  He would make a good president.   Sad to say, Romney is just one horrible candidate, a modern day Jack Kemp.   Romney has won

By way of OTB, I see that the Louisiana primary went down about as expected; Ron Paul beat Romney, but both of them lost to Fred Thompson. That a couple of comparatively liberal northeastern pols wouldn’t do well down

Michael Graham, National Review:

McCain is a weak candidate by any measure. Only once in his two presidential races has John McCain ever won a majority of the vote, and that was Michigan in 2000. He has yet to

I commented last night on the state of Michigan, and the state of the economy there. Boortz did too, apparently yesterday noon time:

This is a state suffering under what people are calling a “single state recession.” The reason? A

I see the votes are in, in Michigan. if there’s anything surprising about them, it’s that relatively few of the blogs have made notice of the results. I suppose that to some degree, there’s a reason for the lack of
