Newt, let's sit down and have a talk. I know that the demographic is different in Florida than South Carolina, but you won SC with your aggressiveness, don't give that up now.
I have to score last night's debate this way:
1)Santorum
2)Paul
3)Romney
4)Gingrich
Santorum was a very cool character last night. He stayed on point and attacked when needed, but was not attacked himself. Paul was, well, actually funny. I loved his performance, in fact he might be a 1a in this case. He won't finish anywhere but last in Florida, but he knows that is because of the electorate there. He is in it for the long haul. He will probably not win a single state, but he will carry enough delegates to wield some influence in the Republican National Convention. Whether it is being the keynote speaker, or actually pushing some of his ideas into the party's plan. I personally think there is no way that he runs as a third party. Why would you spend money to run in the Republican Primary, when : a) you know you are not going to win, and b) you are just going to run as a third party anyway? It wouldn't make business sense.
I think Gingrich really hurt his chances last night, lets just hope that it is close enough to the primary that it won't have an affect.

Finally
I really wanted to post last night, but yesterday was a long day. I spent the whole day at the rodeo with my gorgeous wife. So, sorry for the delay.
Finally!!!!!!! It looks like there is a real chance of a true conservative winner the Republican Nomination. Great job by Newt. I think he won the South Carolina Primary, not on Saturday, but during the first five minutes of the Communist News Network (CNN) when that idiot John King lead of the debate with a question about Newt's ex-wife. King got a Newt-tron Bomb dropped on him.
On to Florida now. Luckily for Newt, there are two debates before the Primary. Unluckily for Newt, there is a good percentage of people that have already voted in absentee balloting. If you haven't looked at Fox News' exit polling from South Carolina, you need to look at it. They exits polls show that more people thought Newt is overall electable than Romney. If Newt is smart, he will ride that wave through Florida, and continue to remind Romney and the voters that he is a better candidate for debating and that he CAN be elected over BHO.
Update on the Twins. We scheduled the induction for February 20th, but the wife and I both have a feeling that they will be here in the next two to three weeks on their own. They are both heads down now, and they are starting to nuzzle down into position. I am so excited, I just want them to get here so I can hold them for the first time. Everyone keep us in your prayers please as we venture on this journey into parenthood for the first time.
Everyone have a great Sunday afternoon.

Not a whole lotta new stuff
Nothing too exciting today, except that it's Thursday and after today, I am off for a week. It is going to be a well needed rest, hopefully. The mother-in-law is coming into town today for the baby (or should it be babies) shower, lol.
On to politics, or more importantly, stupid people. It kills me that people, most of which seem to be liberal, can't fathom that the system is corrupt and that it is capable that the left is doing everything it can to get Obama re-elected. John Huntsman is off the ballot in Arizona because he was missing a Notary Signature on a single piece of paper. Now I'm not saying this happened, but I believe it is conceivable that it may have happened. I can't imagine that someone who has spent millions of dollars on a campaign would miss a simple signature. It is possible that maybe it was "misplaced" by the state, either to ensure Romney's nomination or flat out to keep Huntsman from getting the nomination. Once again, I'm not saying this happened, but I can see it as possible. Certain people I have proposed this too think I am nuts. They are all liberals, but not sure if that has anything to do with it, could just be a coincidence.
That's it for today. Tomorrow's post will be later in the day due to the fact that I have Jury Duty, yay me. Hope everyone has a blessed day.

Another Morning, Another State Down
New Hampshire is in the books. Now maybe we can move on the part of the country where conservatives are conservatives and not moderates or liberals. I was quite surprised with John Huntsman 3rd place performance. I think that is as good as it gets for him though. He spent almost a year in New Hampshire and could only pull 3rd place. Not surprised with Mitt Romney's showing, although his numbers were a little higher than I thought they would be.
There is obviously something wrong with the people of New Hampshire when Romney wins the majority of the Evangelical vote. There are more candidates that are far more Evangelical than he is. IMHO, the liberal machine has already picked the person they want to run against BHO and no one else has a chance. The only real reason I don't wanna see Romney win is because he is the only person that BHO has a chance of beating. From Ron Paul to John Huntsman to Hermain Cain and everyone in between would beat BHO. I don't agree with some or even most of what Romney believes in but I still think he is a better answer than the current waste of space that we currently have dividing the country.
Well, we have about ten more days till South Carolina. I have a feeling that everyone is gonna take the gloves off for real and try their best to tear Romney apart. They seem to be too ignorant to realize that unless they band together behind a single one of them, there is no way that Romney can be defeated. Time is running out too. If Romney wins South Carolina, the race will be all but over. Enough on the race.
We got our maternity pictures yesterday and they turned out great. One of my best friend's daugthers took them for us and she did a wonderful job. I have had this feeling lately, that I want to hold these boys so bad. I just want to meet them for the first time and get to hold them. A year ago I never would of thought a guy would be this passionate about that or admit it, but the more I talk to co-workers, they say that they all felt the same way. I can't wait for them to get here. We have about 6 more weeks. Going through this, you realize how good of friends you really have. For instance, I have two co-workers that I am friends with, it's not like I call them on our days off or anything, but they took time out to go buy gifts for the boys. That means so much to me. My wife had a co-worker that she has only known for 3 months that gave her 2 hand knitted blankets. It makes you realize that there really are good people in this world still.

It's Been a Minute
So... It's been a couple of weeks since I posted. I have been two the ER twice because of being sick, but I won't bore you with the details, everything is getting back to normal though.
On to the more important stuff. With Iowa past us, I have a few reflections on that state and the current race. I was impressed to see Rick Santorum come in 1a (with only an 8 vote difference I won't give him second place, he gets 1a.) I don't expect him to do as good in New Hampshire, due to the "liberalness" of the state, but I do hope he can carry his momentum through to South Carolina, a state that appreciates his conservative values. I still think the liberal media machine has deemed Mitt Romney the candidate and am sure he will win, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. With so many candidates still in the race it will be tough for anyone to beat him. However, if somehow the field was narrowed down to three, Romney, Ron Paul (cause he will never quit) and candidate 3, I think Romney would be beatable. Look at the results thus far and the polls in the upcoming state. An overwhelming majority of people are not voting for Romney, but with all the other candidates splitting the vote, it is though for anyone to get the heat to beat him.
On a quick side note, I am huge pro wrestling fan. So I sometimes use terms that are mainly used in wrestling terminology. I will try my best to define them as I go along this journey. Heat is a term used for momentum with the fans. A pop is the reaction that wrestler gets from the crowd when he comes out on stage, positive or negative.
I think that John Huntsman will drop out after New Hampshire, where he has spent all his money and time and still won't finish in the top three. Those votes will go to Newt Gingrich or Santorum, neither of which will drop out till after South Carolina or Florida. The problem with this scenario is that by Florida the race will be over. With South Carolina and Florida being winner take all states, if a move is going to be made, it needs to be made before them. Neither Newt or Santorum is going to give in to the other though. I haven't talked about Rick Perry because I think he is effectively out of it, he will get anywhere from 1 to 10 percent in the following primaries till he drops out, but once again those Anti-Romney votes could be help full to one of the other two Not-Romney candidates.
I myself, am not ready to make my decision between Newt and Santorum yet, but on the surface I would have to say Newt would have a better chance of knocking BHO off his self made thrown. By the by, I call him BHO because I don't want people to forget that his middle name is Hussein, and that name should be a reminder that he IS the enemy.
I have taken such an interest in politics over the past couple of years because of the socialist movement I see happening in this country and the fact that our current president is the leader of it.
Back to the race, cause there is plenty of time for BHO bashing in the near future. The only reasonable outside chance I see Romney being defeated is that Santorum does so poorly in New Hampshire and South Carolina that he drops out before Florida and his votes go to Newt which would put him in a dead heat with Governor Goodhair. As much as I like Newt, he is his own worst enemy. When he strictly sticks to the topics and focuses himself, he is amazing, but he gets to wrapped up in trying to get everyone to see the media bias that exists in this country. There is a huge media bias, but the only people that will ever see it, and admit it, already do. The liberal idiots in this country will never see it, no matter how many times you show it to them or how many facts you use. There is a simple reason for this, and it's also my favorite bumper sticker, "Annoy a liberal, use facts and reason." They are so blind that they refuse to see any other point of view than their own.
One main difference I have noticed between liberal and conservative is noted in the following example. My bosses boss is a staunch liberal. Obviously I disagree with him on almost every topic we talk about. The difference is when I walk away I can say "Well, we may not agree but he is allowed to have is opinion and that's okay." Whereas he walks away and say "Man that guy is an idiot" and he can never let it go that I refuse to agree with him. Most of our differences our morally based and he can't just grasp that we have different morals. I personally think his morals are wrong, but I also believe that he is allowed to think and believe whatever he wants.
One last not about the election. Although there is a chance we may lose the general election and have 4 more years of BHO, the most important thing is that we maintain the House and take over the majority in the Senate, which we only need 4 seats to take. So, get out there and spread the word about you local candidate and try to get them some heat.
Enough rambling for today. I will try to get on and post the rest of the week. Everyone have a great Tuesday.
