I'm Back... At Last

Well kids, after secluding into a period of mourning I have decided to make my re-entrance into the blogging world.

I'm not really sure what I want to talk about first.  Let's start with Mitt Romney (RIP).

The reason Romney decided to make his graceful exit is because he is a sensible guy, a candidate too good to be true and because Iowa Republicans are apparently stupid.

What angers me most about Mitt's candidacy is that it finally captured the group of people it was targeted at a minute too late.  The right-wing sect of the Republican Party started this presidential campaign with luke-warm interest in the former Massachusetts governor.  However, as the candidates dwindled, the likes of El Rushbo and Laura Ingram flocked to support Mitt.  But Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was Romney's new found conservative movement.  In the end, things happened too late and Romney was reasonable enough to realize it was time to call it quits.

Now, allow me to turn my sights on Mike Huckabee.

Dear Mike Huckabee, nobody cares.  The longer ole' Mike stays in the race the more Ron Paul appears to be normal.  While Huckabee has become nothing more than a Republican side show to John McCain, it is almost to the point of embarrassing.  What's sad about the state of his candidacy is the fact that it was he who triggered Mitt's early demise with an unexpected win in Iowa.  Oh well, let the man continue to waste his time and occasionally garner some media attention for the GOP primary.  At least I'll still have a choice when I vote in the North Carolina primary on May 6th.

And, finally, onto the Barack/ Hillary fiasco.

It almost makes me sad that Hillary Clinton is losing.  I mean, who would have thought that enough people would have found "hope" to be substantive enough of a platform to run a successful presidential campaign on?

In an "anyone on the Republican ticket" v. Hillary match up the victor would have been clear.  However, with a McCain v. Obama head to head in November, McCain is going to have to painstakingly point out to America why Obama is completely incompetent (as he's already begun doing).

Although I'm sure I missed A LOT in my attempt to sum up the past few weeks in presidential politics, it's after midnight and I keep thinking about my homework that won't get done.  Be sure, though, that I will post again tomorrow (and the next day, and probably even the day after that).
