New Hampshire Primaries

New Hampshire primary results (78% of precincts reporting)...
Mitt Romney    70,191    38.3%   
Ron Paul    42,529    23.2%   
Jon Huntsman    31,054    17%   
Newt Gingrich    17,661    9.6%   
Rick Santorum    17,560    9.6%   
Rick Perry       1,323  0.7%   
Michele Bachmann   250  0.1%   
Other            2,561  1.4%

Now, for one thing Michele Bachmann dropped out before the NH Primary, so apparently there are at least 250 voters in NH who have no clue.
"Other" (there are no others, are there?) got more votes than Rick Perry, which says a lot about Rick Perry.
Onto the others...
Rick Santorum...last name sounds like a video game quest location...or a place that might be a receptacle of Christmas refuse.
Jon Huntsman!  The Mighty Huntsman! Deer, ducks, quail, rabbits...run for cover!
Ron Paul...impressive number...but your last name is a first name. Aside from that I like you. You're like to cool old uncle who tries to bring reason unto the family gatherings that are full of family bitchiness and resentment.
Which brings me to Mitt and Newt. Now seriously...could you imagine having a President named after a baseball glove or a lizard?
Can you tell I'm not really political?

  1. When I think about it, our current President is named after the sound a college freshman makes while hovering over a toilet after his first dorm drinking party.

  2. And seriously...why do they keep interrupting our TV shows for updates? 49 states could care less until the final results are in...and even then we can wait to see it on the news or if we cared in the lease we could get it on the internet.
