I thought a freaking genius such as yourself could see the parallels
over the past 40 years.

Whom did you vote for in November of 2008 for POTUS?

I actually want Palin to get the Republican nomination. However, 2012 is
a long way away and there isn't much chance that she'd be able to fool
the true believers long enough to make it happen. It's too bad, because
she would have zero chance of winning the election.

I'm liking Scott Brown more and more. He's a thousand times more
qualified than Palin. If Obama isn't able to get things going better
I think he's the GOP's best shot. I'd vote for him.
