Maybe it’s because the economy is slowly–painfully slowly–recovering, but can it be that the most pressing issue before the nation is a highly exaggerated “war on religion” and whether people should be using birth control?

And this was before the Mittbot had a press conference to announce that he was getting the endorsement of the Donald. Oh, THAT should help Mitt shed that out-of-touch, I -like-to-fire-people, rich guy image.
Out of this world

I’ve always loved the space program, especially as a kid growing up in the 1960s. So when Newt went off on a moon tangent in the last debate, it was delicious. Who knows? Maybe one day.
Kaboom

We in the cheesehead state knew there were a lot of recall signatures being collected, but the 1 million delivered surpassed most expectations. Certainly some percentage will be thrown out, but there will be far more than enough left standing. The process still has a long way to go, but the clock is ticking, governor……

Newt is infamous for spinning out ideas almost indiscriminately, some good, some bad, some atrocious. Having grown up in the 1960s with all its optimistic predictions about all the amazing things we’d do in the future, I have a kind of fond nostalgia when Gingrich talks about stuff like mining colonies on the moon.

OK, it’s not unusual for politicians from both parties to add poison pill provisions to bills. In this case, I assume the game is to add these odious pills to a popular payroll tax cut in order to provoke a veto from President Obama. The GOP could then claim he’s against a payroll tax cut. But, c’mon guys, this is people’s financial well-being at a time when real people could use some real help.
Mitt, everyman

The awkward offering of a big bet during the last GOP debate isn’t that big a deal in isolation. The problem is that it adds to existing suspicions that Mitt isn’t comfortable in his own skin, that he’s not a genuine person you could share a beer with. Romney’s advisors are probably breathing a sigh of relief that he didn’t want to bet a million dollars.
