Rick Santorum was famous long before he ran for the Republican nomination for President because of his Google Problem. Dan Savage made sure of that.
The internet is full of articles today about the results of the super Tuesday primary results. However the observation that seems to be lost is the weakness of the field that still haunts the Republican Party. Once Bachmann, Perry, Cain, and Palin were not contenders, there was hope that maybe the GOP candidates would engender more respect. Wrong! There was Newt, the visionary, with his ideas of colonizing the moon.
Then there was Ron Paul advocating abolishing all drug laws so that there would not be violations of drug laws.
Mitt Romney has been so weak that the Man in the Moon beat him in Georgia, and Rick Santorum beat him in Tennessee and Oklahoma. Rick Santorum has become famous, not for his economic policies, but for his various sexual positions.
Even if you disregard Rick’s unhealthy obsession with telling men and women around the country when, with whom, how often, and for what purpose, they should have sex, there is still a fundamental problem with Rick Santorum as President. If a person decided to run for President, it seems the first and most important job would be to ensure that he was on the ballot in every state. It wouldn’t do any good to convince people to vote for you if you weren’t somebody for whom they could vote. Even a 5th grader running for Student Council would understand the importance of getting their name on the ballot. Either through ignorance or negligence, Rick Santorum failed to get his name on the ballot in Virginia, a state with 49 delegates. In Ohio, Santorum failed to file delegate lists in several counties, so that even in some counties where he carried the popular vote, he lost delegates to Romney. Exaggerating the fundamental failing of Santorum, he said, when confronted about this screw-up, “I’m not worried at all.”
Regardless of political ideology, there should be some minimal competency characteristics that all Americans should demand of their candidates. Attention to detail, reliability, and dependability should be characteristics of all candidates, regardless of their political party. It seems Rick has focused too much attention on the sex lives of the American electorate, and not enough on his own political future. What if he forgot to take the black box with him on vacation? What if he forgot to show up for the peace talks with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? When Rick Perry forgot what he was talking about in a debate he said “Oops,” and dropped out of the race shortly thereafter.
Why haven’t people demanded the same of Santorum?
Santorum would have an equal amount or one less delegate here in Ohio, because he was so close to Romney. Details, details, and not worried.
Best result of the night…the curse of Palin…Newt was dead last in Alaska, at 14%, and behind Ron Paul’s 24%.

I am using the “Oops” moment as a way to go OT. Since the McCain team did not adequately vet Palin and they learned that they had stepped in Mess somewhere in between the announcement and the convention speech. At that point they would have really looked bad and had to play out the game with Palin on the court. It seems impossible if Todd was running a Hooker Store, Troopergate, Babygates (yes plural) and “wait there’s more!!!” that word wouldn’t have gotten back to the campaign team and the heads of the Repub party in short order.
In the last few minutes of Morning Joe today, they were talking about vetting Palin. That they didn’t do it. Nicole looked at Steve Schmidt and said, “But she was pretty.”
Also, I am not buying Palin thinking the press would not try to catch her at her voting place last evening. Todd had on a big ol’ warm jacket and Sarah was prancing around in her NRA shirt jac. It also appeared there was a short child with them. It was like she “herded” the little one along when she was ready to leave that “one lucky dude” from CNN. Photo Op. Manic Cheerleader.
HBO has promoted “Game Change” as showing another side of Palin to get a greater number of viewers. Ms Moore has done a very good job marketing the film to the viewers of the shows that have interviewed her. In addition I think the review by Geoffrey Dunn is probably spot on. I can not wait for Saturday evening. It’s not TV it’s HBO and it is worth paying extra for the service and Real Time with Bill Maher, also, too.

Ron Paul did not advocate abolishing drug laws so “that there would not be violations of drug laws”.
many prominent educators and academics have advocated abolishing drug laws for reasons they argued intelligently and one prominent republican William f. Buckley was among them.
i suggest you read their arguments.

Personally, I’m for legalizing drugs. At the very least, we should legalize cannabis and decriminalize the rest.
One of the big reasons I feel that way (and I’m not alone) is that, yes, it would mean there would be no violations. In essence, you would take away one the main potential harms of “illegal” drugs…the fact that we have draconian laws and penalties.
It’s very simple. If you have no drug laws, you have no violation of drug laws.
It’s maybe the only thing I agree with Ron Paul about.
(I’m a criminologist, by the way and very progressive like so many of my fellow criminologists).
