Since it really doesn't matter, go ahead and vote for the levy. Gotta take care of your fukkin' levies or you'll end up like nawlins next time a hurricane hits cleveland.

Gingrich is the best of that lot. He's the only one with any record of conservative achievement. He brought in balanced budgets for four consecutive years as Speaker and is the only one able to coherently articulate conservative economic principles. His main plus is that he's too quick on his feet to allow the media to frame the debate.
Santorum is allowing himself to get totally assfucked by the media. They ladle out some social issue chum and he just can't help himself. He's a big spending sack of "compassionate conservative" horseshit anyway so no loss.

What should I do?
write your own name down and get some of your friends to write you in as well....if you could get your name on the ballot, it would afford you the opportunity to do interviews and promote the green party philosophy, which essentially consists of promoting crazy ideas to rid the world of anything that involves the use fossil fuel.....

Besides that, you might get a chance to go to the moon. Or Mars even.

Barring major scandal, the Republican race is down to Romney and Santorum, with the race being Romney's to lose. If you're for either one of them, you vote for them.
If you're wanting to make a protest vote, then you can go with Gingrich or Paul, and that may help them get a better speaking position at the Convention. Or it you're really protesting, then with one of the minor parties, but you're really just pissing away your vote with that.
If you're for Obama, then in Ohio you vote for Santorum; if you're in Georgia, you vote for Gingrich. The thinking here is that the longer the Republicans fight, the better it is for Obama.
I don't really think this is the case.
The more the reps throw pooh now, the more immune they will be to it later. Our ADHD society seems to only be interested in today's news.

Actually there is some nice cars in there..a bit rough but straight..a 64 Ford Falcon, a 66 El Camino, a 69 Riveria, 65-66 Mustang, a Dodge business coupe and a couple of old sedans. Potential there..nothing like the Republicans are fielding though. Sucks to be a Republican these days. Ron Paul.
Chula Vista..such a nice town.
