And let the madness begin WOOOOHOOO!!

I had to work. Even if I was home I do not get satellite TV. I wish I could find a video somewhere. Any ideas?

You were the first person I thought of when I saw that the debate was in SC; I wondered if you'd be there but I had no idea if you were close enough to Greenville to go or not. I'm so glad for you that you got to go because I sure understand what it's like to be a political junkie. I guess it takes one to know one, right...lol? You didn't manage to get into Frank Luntz's focus group, did you? It seemed that most of those people were pretty angry at the potential candidates who weren't there. Is that how you feel too? I must say, it sure was a line-up of replacements and they didn't even have a Keanu Reeves to quarterback them! I'm not knocking Ron Paul; while I don't agree with him on everything, he does make a lot of sense on some issues and he's a he11 of a lot more likable than his son. However, I'm afraid we all know the GOP would never "let" him be the nominee for President. One thing that really scares me with Paul is that I know he'd allow our entire economy to collapse by not raising the debt ceiling. People don't realize what they're asking for when they take that stance. It would be a government shutdown on steroids with NO Social Security checks, no Medicare, no government services of any kind and our financial credibility would be totally destroyed. The rest of them were about as boring as it gets. I was reminded - as if I needed to be - why I was SO happy when Rick Santorum got beaten out of the Senate. A more arrogant a$$hole doesn't exist. I'd seen Gary Johnson on "Real Time With Bill Maher" already and I actually kind of like him but nobody who is seriously in favor of legalizing pot would ever get very far, especially in the Republican party, do you think? Cain got pretty high marks from the focus group, and he was kind of witty and entertaining but, for one thing, I don't like the idea of a business man being President and for another, much bigger thing, I heard the one time in the past when he'd run for office he'd attacked his opponent as being pro-choice because he was in favor of allowing abortion in the case of rape and incest. You KNOW how I feel about people like that! Tim Pawlenty was about as boring as I'd expected him to be. I'm thinking of maybe volunteering for my Senator who is up for reelection and I'm anxiously awaiting an announcement of who will be running against my newly elected House Representative who is already in deep, DEEP trouble for voting for the dismantling of Medicare.
