  1. Yeah, it’s interesting when you dig around in the actual primary/caucus process and how the numbers shake out. We just attended the first of a series of GOP caucuses (caucusi ?) that launch the GE cycle for our state. Today’s was a procedural King Country process caucuses to elect the delegates to the District caucus which rolls up to the County, then State where the national delegates are chosen. The GOP, like the DNC, have superdelegates, but they only account for (I think) about 3% of the delegates, whereas the DNC’s count is large enough to push the nomination for the Dems. Unlike years past, today’s caucus did not announce candidate delegate totals. However, there were a contingent of vocal Cruz supporters at our sparsely attended precinct who looked and acted more like Sanders supporters — loud, obnoxious and looking nothing like the demographic of our neighborhood. Hmm? I asked them to please take my CELL PHONE number off their lists — they got it through their sketchy data mining. Grrrr.

    If everything else was in good shape, election reform would be a very high priority for me.

  2. CofD — I just saw a “related link” here the other day — a post about Mark Levin scolding Rubio for using Alynski tactics. I think it was posted back in September. Anyone here who lived through the obama ’08 election knows how stomach-turning this sort of thing is. And when you call them out for it, they just laugh in your face. Conservative patriots? Hardly.

  3. AA; Welcome BACK!!
    I thought you’d be gone 40 days…WHEW!

    Yeah…that’s the ugly face of “the real world” of politics, regardless of Party.

    Power, like fame or other – ahem – enticements can really mess with people’s heads.

  4. No one talks about the burn rate vs. contributions for the candidates. Given the Cruz ground game and investment in computer modeling and robo calling, I’d say he’s going to need some wins come Super Tuesday or his campaign will run out of gas like what happened to Walker.

  5. I’d like to see Ted drop out, give the wounds time to heal and feelings mend, get the whole Canada thing put to rest, then come back as Trump’s VP. Or, better yet, Trump’s nominee to replace Scalia.
