    Now that Romney's won New Hampshire

    He made an interesting victory speech. Sounded a lot like Obama did in in 2008. Promises to bring congress together; good luck. Promised to do a lot of things he'll need congress to do.

    Meanwhile, Gingrich goes forward thanks to a generous $5 million donation to his PAC, Huntsman's future depends on Daddy writing a check.

    This isn't democracy. This is insanity.

      Running true to form, Repubs are well on their way to nominating a stuffed shirt with a constipated mind.

        The Democrats won't have Richie Rich at the top of their ticket.

            Pragmatically and paradoxically, what the last few years should have taught us is that in the current American political climate, the only party with the potential to "bring Congress together" is the Republicans.

            This is not because today's Reps are better at extending a hand across the aisle. It's because the current group of Rep politicians have shown that they simply will not collaborate on meaningful (or even meaningless!) Dem initiatives, period. Despite the poisonous political climate during Bush II's presidency, the Dems in Congress were somewhat more willing to keep the business of government running. We've seen the comparative stats posted on the forum before.

            Which is a way of saying that Romney might be right. But if so, he's right for which bring shame to current Rep politicians, rather than credit. And frankly, shouldn't be rewarded.

              predatory is the word you're looking for, Chuck.
              A society predicated on the assumption that everyone in it should want to get rich is not well situated to become either ethical or imaginative.

                    Thanks but "preditory" isn't a dire enough adjective to describe the likes of Mitt Romney.

                      You are right CC. Obama only has 700 million to spend. He doesn't need Richie Rich.

                        Maybe it's time to get a pro-business president in there. The socialist president doesn't seem to be getting anywhere with the economy.

                            And so will the Democrats if a Republican gets elected.

                            BTW; have you forgotten the Blue Dog Democrats?

                              I followed a hobbled horse for 26 miles one day. Even across streams. If a horse can do it, why not Obama?
