Not Her Turn
RWN Conservative Blogger Poll
I participated in this latest poll taken over the weekend.
Chris Christie and Jeb Bush were the two “winners” of the ” **** LEAST LIKE **** to see as our 2016 nominee ”
Interestingly enough:
PS: As a side note, want to see something scary?
In 2008, the least wanted candidates for bloggers were…John McCain and Ron Paul.
In 2012, the least wanted candidates for bloggers were…Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.
So, going by those results, Chris Christie and Jeb Bush would have to be considered the early favorites for 2016 based on the fact that conservative bloggers don’t want either of them as a nominee.
I’ll Be Glad When This Political Silly Season is Over
Less than four weeks until election day. I’ve been seeing some commercials that essentially say:
[insert Republican candidate name] has voted for things Republicans like. [insert Republican candidate name] votes for conservative things. Don’t vote for [insert Republican candidate name]! [insert Republican candidate name] will vote for things Republicans and conservatives care about!
This message brought to you by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Well duh. Do they think they’ll sway any voters? Some people might think that the a Republican candidate voting in that manner is a feature, not a bug. If the candidate has been voting for big government this might be a bug, but otherwise…
Seen on a Truck Today
I had been to a Citizenship Ceremony earlier, where 100 new citizens from 35 countries took their oaths. After that I went to get an oil change and have my truck’s emissions test and on the way home I saw this truck. I was at a stoplight and I had my good camera on the passenger seat.

Silly Voicemail Transcriptions
I received a robo-call from Romney for President today. Actually I’ve gotten the same message again and again over the past few days. This message though, doesn’t say anything about why I should vote FOR Romney. It only purports to tell me why I SHOULDN’T vote for Santorum.
Of course, the transcription part is just…
“This is an urgent message from the running for President campaign in two thousand 6 Rick stand for him suffer(?) the worst defeat in decades binding-incumbent(?) Senator one Central and voted repeatedly to … on(?) today voted for billions in wasteful(?) … even the bridge to nowhere voted with the labor against the-right(?) door is locked and more. It-is(?) only stayed-didn’t(?) trust Rick Santoro. Why should Illinois. Thank you for your time. This call was paid for by Ronnie for President In…”
One Year Ago Today – Madison
One year ago today we went to Madison to see the protests first hand.

It was a beautiful day.

We couldn’t get near the front. Too many people. I had tried to get video of the marchers circling the Statehouse, but my camera wasn’t on when I thought it was.
Althouse got a shot of my back when she was there, but I missed her and Meade… 🙁

I’m just to the right of the teal knit hat. In the purple coat with the gray hood hanging down. If only I’d turned around just then…
UPDATE: Althouse has consolidated all her posts from one year ago today here.

A Different GOP Nominee Poll
This poll is a little different. I want to know who you positively DO NOT want to get the GOP Nomination. You may choose more than one.
