Vote For Kodos
In watching the Republican presidential candidates' debate this evening, I discovered that the house's cable package includes Bloomberg. It was interesting to note Mister Cain seated next to Governor Romney in the middle of the eight candidates, the two "frontrunner" spots. The important bits about that are that the onerous Governor Perry is no longer accorded that status as primus inter pares—Huzzah!—& that Gov. Romney consistently comports himself with aplomb under that heightened scrutiny. I was reminded today of the old saw, which I suppose was originally intended as an insult, that "Republicans don't fall in love, they fall in line." Here's hoping that the air of inevitability continues to gather around the man (originally) from Michigan.

I've never read a "political" book like No Apology: The Case for American Greatness, but perhaps I should make the effort to be more of a political wonk? (In this I am undoubtedly influenced by my debate partner, Too Sly, who is a fiend for politics, with a particular mania for the United States Congress.)
