    Mitt was an investment guy, not a business manager. He's good at buying assets low and selling them high. I'm sure that's a transferable skill but I don't think that it transfers to being either a crackerjack manager or a job creator. More like a good Secretary of State if we lived back in the era when foreign countries would sell us their territories. Mitt would have saved money on The Louisiana Purchase

    A few more Lupica op-eds and I'll start voting Republican. He writes with the same aplomb as an 8-year old with Down's Syndrome and a migraine headache. Being tickled. Even just reading that 3-paragraph quote makes me want to go find his high school and sue it.

    He is a douche to boot...sat down at a table where he was sitting at the US Open one year, he says - Those seats are taken, I said, in a nice tone, we would be quick and would move when his friends arrived..We just needed someplace to quickly scarf down our $15 burgers...he insists we leave and get's indignant...we told him to ******** off

    Come across as a jerk in your writings, you're probably a jerk in reality too.

    Just did some quick research. After Super Tuesday Republican turnout was down about 10% this year over the 2008 Cain, Huckabee, Romney, & Ron Paul show.

    Although I cannot gauge turnout today, anecdotally the Washington Post is reporting that it, too, was lower than 4 years ago.
