Thirty Five Million Democrats, Independents and
disaffected Republicans just cast Fifty Six Million
votes to make Barack Obama the very first winner
of the Presidential Edition of American Idol.

When asked about his uh, stirring victory, POTUS
Obama said: “In America, we only count the votes,
Not the voters.”

Vice POTUS Biden chimed in and said: “Hey,
democracy is overrated, anyway.”

The American Idol generation thinks they have a
right to vote anywhere they want, anytime they want,
as many times as they want to, and Democrats,
and Chris Christie, agree.

3 I sure hope he doesn´t ends like a villain :( my first thought about this was that Lagarde wanted to give the region a representative that knew the culture but with a global pov.

@3 Rice has said repeatedly that she is not interested in the presidency. She has joked, but most think she's dead-serious about it, about being the first woman NFL commissioner as her fantasy job over any top-seat (Prez or Veep) and collects former NFL commissioners as toyboys (even once being engaged to one :-). But her politics as a Republican are too contrarian for the GOP to be anything more than a Foreign Policy specialist since her days as a USSR/Russian expert.

But veering on topic, yes, the GOP needs to recognize their libertarian (or otherwise non-God-squad component) as being necessary to hold a national election, the candidates who made those incredibly ignorant comments on women and science were relying on the people unhappy with Obama to drink their chunky milk, so to speak, and lost last Tuesday.

#3 Haha =) Of course she'd be a terrible President, but still too progressive for the GOP it seems...
