Waiting for Not-so Super Tuesday

Mitt Romney picked up a number of endorsements from elected Republicans heading into Tuesday. With Obama's approval rating at 50 and Romney's at 28, according to an NBC poll, voters are tiring of the Republicans because of the primary process. 4 in 10 Americans think less highly of the GOP because of the primaries, making it almost a 60% disapproval rate. This is particularly true among independent voters.

Mitt won the non-binding Washington caucus in an ugly fashion. Thousands of voters were turned away by officials. It is still unclear whether these voters would have tipped the scales for Ron Paul.

While media attention is being paid to the battle for Ohio, Romney will waltz away with Virginia of almost equal delegate strength because the ballot rules were too onerous for the other contestants and the Governor backs Romney.

Newt is banking on Georgia, his old home state, to revive his fortunes.

Meanwhile the PPP polls of swing states show that as of now President Obama basically polls either the same or better than in 2008. Obama has taken large double digit leads over all comers in Wisconsin and Ohio. He has even gained strength in Texas of all places compared to last election. But be warned that summer is always Obama's bad season and we should see some negative movement then.

Rush Limbaugh apologized sort of for his slut comment but he has still lost 7 major sponsors and there is an effort to get his show thrown off the Armed Forces Network.

While the Rush kerfluffle was going on, women--and,yes, men--peacefully protested Virginia's sonar law, which the Governor signed. A non-violent gathering of primarily women was broken up by heavily armed SWAT teams. Over 30 arrests were made and no one did anything.

Andrew Breibart's almost last scoop was the discovery that President Obama once attended a Play--yes, a Play--about Saul Alinsky and participated in a panel discussion afterwards. This is certainly cause for impeachment. The other great find of Breibart were videos of Obama at Harvard. I'm sure they were be suitably edited to make a scandal.

But I do want to sent my condolences to Breibart's father-in-law, Orson Bean. Orson Bean was known for having an Orgone Box and undergoing therapy created by Wilhelm Reich.
