Primary Politics

I am more amused than bitter but on the off-chance of offending I felt this was a better place for political ramblings.
It seems like the primaries are providing the best of both worlds and interesting tidbits can be found in both the news and on celebrity gossip sites.

Republicans

Mitt Romney, John McCain and Mike Huckabee are the top three Republican candidates.
Huckabee has tried to make sure that Romney's religion is continually pointed out. After all, we can't have a Mormon president! Huckabee, a Baptist minister, makes an "innocent" remark to a reporter "Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?"

Romney runs ads that attack Huckabee as being soft on crime and immigration. Huckabee cries foul and Romney defends his ads as merely pointing out differences in policy. McCain gets into the fray and also is a "victim" of Romney attack ads. Huckabee then partners up with McCain against Romney. Kind of like a Pro-Wrestling match!

Onto Michigan: With the economy in dire straights, Romney injects optimism in his campaign with promises to work to revive the ailing domestic auto industry. McCain takes the opposite approach with his " Straight Talk" and says "Those jobs aren't coming back". Romney wins in Michigan, any wonder why???

Democrats

I do not recommend sending political emails to business acquaintances; especially when we are talking conspiracy theory. I recently received a mass email about Barack Obama being a Muslim with several terrorist ties. I would have suspected a hijacked address book but the woman who sent it is a bit of a "loose cannon".

Celebrity gossip blogs have been suggesting that Hillary Clinton is having a lesbian affair with her Muslim top aide. I'm having a hard time believing that Hil is having sex of any kind.

Trailing behind is John Edwards, also rumored to be having an affair with a woman. In his favor, no Muslim or terrorist ties have been mentioned.

I can't wait to see the "stories" as we get closer to November!
