26. That South Carolina poll still blows my mind.

Dec 2011

One would never guess that based on the shit that gets published in my local fish wrap. With the exception of Jim Clyburn, the entire Congressional contingent from this state, and our pathetic excuse for a Governor, are all teabaggers.

Judging by this GOP primary, I don't think they really want the Presidency back. As many others here have suggested, I think they're setting up a big crash that will be blamed on President Obama and the Democrats. Just look at how many of them are trying to blame the real estate crash on Barney Frank.

We all hope so. But without a simultaneous 'landslide' in the House and Senate, it won't matter much PSPS Dec 2011 #6
