Priceless headline from DelawarePolitics
“Rick Santorum ends his bid for the GOP nomination, it’s now Ron Paul or Romney”
I don’t read DelawarePolitics, but I scanned to the recent headlines to make sure I wasn’t missing something on the Romney VP picks post.
I guess a little anti-Rommey sentiment is still hanging on in Delaware’s corner of Wingnutia.

The third biggest wanker of the decade and Me.
Artios is ranking the biggest wankers of the decade. His pick for number 3, Joe Klein, and I actually had a run in of sorts. *cue memory sequence crossfade*
It was back before Obama wrapped up the nomination….

Romney travels to Wilmington, hilarity ensues
There is just too much comedy in this Celia Cohen coverage of Romney’s Wilmington event to pick a paragraph out. You simply need to go to her blog and read the whole thing.
Trust me.

Who will be Romney’s VP Pick? Round II
It is time to winnow down the list, check the betting markets, and make some obvious deletions.

A moment of thanks for Rick Santorum
In the same way Christine O’Donnell demolished the Delaware GOP by forcing it to own the religious lunacy and small mindedness that fueled its base, Rick Santorum has exposed the national GOP’s fetid soul to a shocked nation.
Whereas in the past, Republicans were able to use a system of codes to identify themselves to each other as misogynist, homophobic authoritarian, racists, and religious fanatics – Santorum made the heretofore unspoken word become flesh. To his credit he essentially told America, “If you vote for a Republican, you should know that you are voting for a crazy person.”

Romney vs Obama – The Tale of the Tape
The advantages each candidate has in their matchup. First up, Romney: 1) Willingness to lie his ass off. I would say that this is more than a willingness, it is an eagerness. Romney will literally say anything to get elected. This can work against him in some ways, but it is certainly something that the GOP’s spin doctors can work with.

Ask Dr. Liberal – Here Comes The Judge, Here Comes the Judge!
Dear Dr. Liberal,
Contracts for the proposition “The US Supreme Court to rule individual mandate unconstitutional before midnight ET 31 Dec 2012″ are now trading at 62.6% on intrade. Should I take the money I was going to use to by a Fisker electric car and buy some of the activist judge futures?
Yours Truly,
Eternally Combustible

Romney’s War On (Obama’s) Religion
Romney has a religion problem and he knows it. 22% of voters are ignorant bigots who are disinclined to vote for a Mormon. So what does Team Romney plan to do about it? They are going to turn Obama into something even worse than a Mormon, they are going to make Obama the atheist in the race.
Lawrence O’Donnell broke it down brilliantly last night and this segment is worth sitting through the mandatory 15 second commercial:

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT AT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LUNCHEON (Annotated)
After some words of welcome, the President goes right for the media’s soft underbelly.
Clearly, we’re already in the beginning months of another long, lively election year. There will be gaffes and minor controversies, be hot mics and Etch-a-Sketch moments. You will cover every word that we say, and we will complain vociferously about the unflattering words that you write — unless, of course, you’re writing about the other guy — in which case, good job. (Laughter.)
The guy is a master at that, and the press eats it up. I giggle when I try to image Mittron Romneybot trying to pull off a natural sounding joke.

Palin on the Today Show bashing “lamestream” media …while on the Today Show
I can’t look away from the train wreck that is Sarah Palin. Her Today Show appearance opened up with Palin giving an endorsement (of sorts) of Mitt Romney.

Atlas Smirked
The law of unintended consequences is a cruel mistress. I wonder what transparently partisan Republican a-hole, Antonin Scalia, is going to have to say if/when the health insurance industry in America collapses and is replaced by a nationalized single payer system?

James Howard Kunstler: The tragedy of suburbia
It is probably too dreary today to watch this TED TALK again, but perhaps not.
“The immersive ugliness of our everyday environment in America is entropy made visible.”
Oil company subsidies, Zimmerman, Romney, our desperate County Sheriffs and teabag zealots clawing for meaning in the brutalist wasteland of talk radio and Walmart parking lots – the thing that ties all of our modern psychopathies together is our shitty architecture.

Celia Covers Newt
You can read it if you want. The usual Celia tid bits are present. For example, did you know that Steve Forbes beat party anointed, Bob Dole in Delaware because Forbes showed up? Celia knows it. She says it all the time.
“Good Morning Ma’am, Welcome to WalMart.”
“Did you know that Steve Forbes beat party anointed, Bob Dole in Delaware because Forbes showed up here? Uh huh… Sherman Tribbit had a cat named Dusty!!”
Obama’s statement on big oil profits sets up a nice campaign theme
Thank God (or the FSM if you so desire) for elections. Because we still have elections, Dems still figure out how to be on the right side of an issue every once in a while.

John Maynard Keynes über alles
Keynes always wins in the end. “The primaries have been great for the economy. Dimwitted billionaires are dumping money they don’t need into the campaigns of people who can’t win, providing much-needed jobs for ad-writers, poll-takers and yard-sign manufacturers.”

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement:

Markell getting in campaign mode
The second most popular politician in Delaware just got a little more popular with his facebook fans.
Now I’m starting to feel sorry for the Republicans, and I never feel sorry for Republicans.

Newt Gingrich and Ginger Gibson Keep Getting in My Twitter
Here is some social-media-meets-politics-meets-reporters who used to work in Delaware News. The Newt Ginigrich campaign has finally figured out why their awesome candidate isn’t taking off. It is the stupid national press and their stupid habit of constantly asking Gingrich questions about his stupid candiacy. In particular, the Gingrich campaign seems to not like Politico’s Gingrich beat reporter, Ginger Gibson.

Delaware Democratic Party Calls On GOP Candidates To Announce Endorsements
(WILMINGTON, DE) – Ahead of Newt Gingrich’s scheduled visit to Hockessin on Monday, the Delaware Democratic Party wonders which out-of-touch candidate our own Republicans support.
“It’s clear the GOP nominee won’t be decided by Delaware’s April 24th Primary,” said Executive Director Joe Aronson. “So we wonder, who do Delaware Republicans support for the nomination? Will Jeff Cragg, Kevin Wade, or Tom Kovach align himself with one of these extreme Republican contestants? Which candidates can we expect to be there supporting Gingrich on Monday?”
