His political views are insane and will scare away millions of potential voters

Yeah you said that.

3500 Vote separation as of right now. Come on Stantorum, we would be lost without the humour you provide.

I would also like to see the spike in the sale of sweater vests if he wins the nomination.

Romney has won Ohio

Romney also has a nice lead in Idaho that nobody can really overtake.

Alaska still tied at 0

Not related to the GOP but since it happened on Super Tuesday...apparently Dennis Kucinich lost a primary battle tonight. From what I understand it was the result of redistricting. He's been around for a looong time and I think he was mayor of Cincinnati when he was like 30. He is also a strange little man. ;)

Obama also did poorly in the OK Primaries, and a few nutters who are challenging him will get a couple of delegates as a result.

I was surprised to find out that Obama also has to go through primaries even though it will be an easy task for him to win nomination. In fact, all incumbent Presidents seeking re-election have faced a challenge from within their party. However, almost every time the challengers have been attention-seeking lunatics rather than serious challengers. The President's party usually takes a very dim view of such challengers.

The only time in a living memory when the President faced a serious challenge from his own party must have been in 1980 when Ted Kennedy challenged Jimmy Carter.

Yes, but it will not be unanimous because of several challengers winning delegates.

This is not always the case. All such challengers are not "lunatics".

The only time in a living memory when the President faced a serious challenge from his own party must have been in 1980 when Ted Kennedy challenged Jimmy Carter.

No, the list is more extensive than that:


from author Jay Wacker:

   2008 No incumbent
   2004 Bush faced no primary challenge and was reelected
   2000 Gore (VP incumbent) faced Bill Bradley and was not elected
   1996 Clinton faced Lyndon LaRouche and was reelected
   1992 Bush faced Pat Buchanan and was not reelected
   1988 Bush (VP) faced Bob Dole and was elected
   1984 Reagan "faced" Harold Stassen and was reelected
   1980 Carter faced Ted Kennedy and was not reelected
   1976 Ford faced Ronald Reagan and was not reelected
   1972 Nixon faced John Ashbrook and was reelected
   1968 Johnson pulled out of primary against Humprhey (VP) who was not elected
   1964 Johnson faced George Wallace and was elected
   1960 Nixon (VP) faced Nelson Rockefeller and was not elected
   1956 Eisenhower faced no primary challenge and was reelected
   1952 Truman pulled out of primary, Barkley (VP) lost primary to Adlai Stevenson
   1948 Truman faced Richard Russel and was elected
   1944 Roosevelt faced no primary challenge and was reelected
   1940 Roosevelt faced James Farley and was reelected

Economics trumps Virtue.
