Mitten$ Rmoney and Rick “Frothy” Santorum’s Secret Service code names–which the candidates chose themselves–reflect a certain cockiness and focus on their manliness.

A group of five twenty-somethings were removed from a Rick Santorum rally Friday at the Liberty Heights Christian Academy after chanting “Mic check! Mic check! Mr. Santorum!” while two men in the group began to kiss. The crowd booed at first then began to chant “USA! USA!”

Aspiring Cardinal Rick Santorum was interviewed by the generally enabling Fox employee Chris Wallace yesterday and asked how charitable he is in comparison to more allegedly heretical types.

Well, Republicans in Michigan and Arizona go to the polls today (and in the Michigan a few independents and democrats will vote too, mostly for santorums and giggles).

I predict…finally…the process of settling for Ol’ one percent of the one percent to finally emerge. And the crowd will go mild.

The last few weeks without primaries have pretty much been Rick Santorum demanding we all pay attention to a terrible Sunday School Class.

Having used evangelicals to win Iowa, Rick Santorum is appealing, somewhat successfully, to the same Midwestern strain in Minnesota.

I’m still a bit shocked that people are still surprised that the GOP Presidential Clown Car could roll through South Carolina — the state that gave us nullification, the Civil War, John C.

Well months worth of motor homing across the plains of America’s corn belt has managed to reduce the potential nominees by a grand total of … one. Such excitement eliminating Michelle Bachmann. Quite a surprise. A proud day for the nation…provided something else notable happened yesterday. See you in 2016…suckers.
