The pot is only $50, but the bragging rights are priceless

I havent been this excited for the final in a long time. First, I was born and raised in Ann Arbor, MI, so I have no love for OSU. Secondly, I picked KU in to win it all in my office bracket, not in my Ricochet bracket unfotunately, and may win one of these pools for the first time.

All of that is true. My question where is the real alternative to Romney? It is certainly not Rick Santorum. We have 9+ percent unemployment and he wants to lecture us on the dangers of porn. I dont see that playing too well in the general.

The Cubby Bear across from Wrigley would be good. It's huge and has been very good to the Chicago Young Republicans

Count me in; I work downtown & live in Lakeview, so I can make it just about any day

Is Romney the perfect conservative candidate?  Of course not.  Is he the best candidate running?  Absolutely.  

Romney has some significant flaws, but they pale in comparison to those of the other candidates.  He is also the only candidate left with significant executive leadership experience.

Santorum is without a doubt solid on social issues, but seems to be clueless when it comes to the economy.  He is a "compassionate" conservative in the GWB mold.  His preferential treatment for manufacturers is no different than Obama's "green" energy scheme.

Gingrich is undisciplined and completely lacking in tact.  He is as likely to embrace massive government programs (cap and trade, federal job training, etc.) as any liberal.  He is a little too impressed with his own brilliance.

Ron Paul is on the right track when it comes to economics, but his foreign policy is dangerously naive.

This is just a reminder that our best presidential candidates are sitting this one out. Very depressing

Diane Sawyer: Worst moderator ever

Identity politics is such a huge part of the left's ideology. The message is that your identity, whether it be your race, your gender, or your sexual orientation, defines who you are as a person. The left spreads the message that being a "good" or "real" member of the group requires that you adhere to leftist politics. If you don't agree with them you are stripped of your identity

I agree that a strong conservative could win the White House, but only if they can effectively communicate their ideals. That ability to communicate is what set Reagan apart. Right now I don't see that person amongst our candidates.

For a business program, I would nominate former BB&T CEO John Allison

Has anyone reported Brooks to attackwatch yet?

I too really want to like Perry. Unfortunately it seems to me that he has all of the right conservative instincts, but is unable to defend them with facts. I first noticed this during the first debate when couldn't name a single scientist who questioned AGW.

Seeing as Boeing is his 15th largest donor, he might be losing some big contributor support as well

I sent my rsvp. I'll be there if they still have space

The teacher just needs to do a little editing and he could put his banners back up.  Maybe he should try: 

-  endowed by Buddha

-In Allah we trust

-One nation under Obama.

No one could object to those right?
