It Looks Like McCain

Rudy's out and will endorse McCain. Fred will probably endorse McCain. In Florida yesterday McCain not only won moderate Republicans but won a majority of conservative Republicans. He will probably do very well on Super Tuesday next week. I don't see how Romney can catch him especially with Huckabee still in the race. It's obvious that Huckabee and Romney are splitting the conservative vote. The one thing that's in Romney's favor is that he has the funds to continue to the end of the primary process and McCain is out of money according to news reports. After the returns were in last night I decided that I would enthusiastically support McCain if he wins the nomination. I'm a Republican through and through and I will always support that party's nominee even if he isn't my #1 choice. By the time November rolls around, though, that nominee will be my #1 choice.

Random

Random question: All of the numbers have fallen out of your phone book. Which number do you look for first?

My answer: QVC

What's your answer?

Florida

Today's the day we find out who is the front-runner in the Republican race for the nomination. Rudy believes he has the majority of Florida's early ballots, but polls show Romney and McCain neck and neck. I'm looking forward to finding out the results. If Rudy wins I'm going to regret voting for Romney.

Miss America

I watched the so-called "new and improved" Miss America pageant last night. Actually I only caught the second hour. I thought since TLC was now televising the event it would be different. There were some welcomed changes: Contestants looked more natural - the over-sprayed pageant hair hair is gone as is the pageant make-up and smile. The hair and make-up were very natural. That was nice to see. However, it's still the same bathing suit and talent competition - skinny girls and a disappointing talent competition. The emcee apparently had the worst memory. He forgot names and states. At one point he looked at the wrong contestant when announcing which one was being eliminated. All in all I was disappointed with this new and improved pageant. Maybe it's time to let Miss America go.

Who I Am and Why I'm Blogging

My first blog! I am excited to write about things that matter to me and things I think might matter to you. I plan on posting significant personal happenings - you will not hear about the time I had the flu! I also plan on commenting on current events. There will probably be quite a few posts about presidential politics. I hope to include bits about books and movies and, well, anything else that may come up.

I hope whoever happens by my blog will enjoy it.

It's Decision Time

I just sent in my early ballot for the Arizona Republican Primary. It wasn't easy to mark my ballot because I was pulled in several directions. I cannot bring myself to vote for John McCain, although I will support him if he wins the Republican primary. Oh, perish the thought!

My problem with Senator McCain is although he says he's conservative, his record says quite the opposite. From the McCain-Feingold assault on free speech to the Gang of 14 to the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill he has demonstrated an arrogance that is startling. I once heard him say he "always does the right thing." Really? He doesn't make mistakes? That's the arrogance talking.

I was originally for Rudy, but he's not been aggressive enough and is on his way out. I was for Fred, but you know where he is now.

I marked my ballot for Mitt Romney because I think the primary race will be between him and McCain. I will support anybody but McCain unless it's a liberal of the Obama-Clinton persuasion. Romney, I hope, will start showing a passion for this race. I guess he is passionate, but he stands a bit distant from the crowd. He doesn't inspire me and I need to be inspired. I voted with my head and no heart when I like to vote with both. Let's hope he begins to inspire or we may end up with McCain.
