Here’s some encouraging news from the Council of Fifty: she started talking about her disappointment with the Republican party generally, and with McCain and Huckabee specifically–because of the talk about their back-room deal to edge Romney out, the Republicans’ complacency on Utah being a Red State but without reciprocal loyalty…
blame Christians :)
Great NYTimes article today on Mitt dropping out of the race. Why didn’t his campaign go anywhere? Put another way, those dreaded secularists – whom Romney himself criticized in his off-tune and hugely miscalculated speech on religion in December – were far more likely to vote for him than were…
