CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Convention, where the land’s most conservative minds meet and discuss and listen to speeches. Everybody has been there Bush, McCain, Romney, but my favorite was Huckabee. For once, he appeared without Chuck Norris standing behind him, that was an improvement. But of all the conservative speeches, I was most amazed with the one made by Huckabee.

He has been called a great communicator and this speech lived up to that billing totally. He pandered to absolutely everyone in the conservative movement. He invoked Reagan, a good move at this event, he patted Bush on the back for his foreign policy, a good move to massage Neocons, he mentioned God, he mention Islamo-fascist, he mentioned…well pick a conservative subject and he dwelt on it in this speech. It was absolutely the best speech one could have given to this crowd, it was brilliant.

Huckabee received applause constantly with every pandering. He gave Neocons a thumper. He gave the Pentagon a thumper. He gave evangelicals a thumper, if they are allowed to have such. In other words, Huckabee massaged the genitals of absolutely every quarter of the conservative movement. I keep saying, but it was BRILLIANT!

He just made his case to stay in the Repub race for the nomination and possibly a nod for the VP position. I feel like he succeeded in gaining more support from CPAC members. Will he be successful? IMO, probably not, but he is doing well and that will give him a large say at the convention. I believe that is his sole intention, to be a king maker, for now. It will also be a boost to his political reputation for later attempts at glory.

Sorry to say, that politics leads the news cycles right now, so there is not much worthless crap to report on. Politics is the most important thing right now. But I try to find crap you cannot possibly use.

If it is news
You can use
Then open a beer
For it is not here.

1–More fires, plane and car crashes, and stuff

2–A German Airline offers nude flying, most be clothed to get on and off, but once on the clothes come off. those darn germans–always thinking.

3–More skiers lost in the mountains–thrill seekers are f*cking morons!

4–More sh*tty weather in the South on Super tuesday..thinking…Huckabee wins…maybe God was trying to tell the voters something.

5–More crappy weather in the Midwest

6–Another successful shuttle launch.

7–Cheney goes hunting this w/end–who will he shoot this time?

8–Finally, Brittney spears is still f*cking nuts!

well another week another bunch of worthless crap in the news…makes me proud of the media…NOT!

see ya next week–same bat time, same Bat channel…TTFN

Fascinating weekend for 09 Feb 08. Louisiana is in the South and a large Afro-American turn out was expected. well Obama won but the turnout was very small. Obama also won Washington state, Nebraska and the US Virgin Islands. Basically it was a clean sweep for Obama. It was expected that the Clinton campaign was gonna have a tough weekend. Sunday is the Maine Caucus and Obama is favored to win that one also. On to Tuesday’s contests in DC, Maryland and Virginia, again Obama seems to have the momentum in these contests also. Clinton is looking toward Texas and Ohio for her next “big” win.

Now the Repubs, this has been a huge weekend for Huckabee. He was favored in Louisiana and he came through with the win. He has been called the “Bible Belt” candidate, where there is a strong presence of faith based voters. If so, then that theory has been shot to hell. Huckabee also won in Nebraska and Kansas, not considered strong states for him. Huckabee is proving that he can attract voters outside the “Bible Belt” or it could mean the the Repub voters do not like being told this early who their nominee will be. Either way, Huckabee seems to be gathering more steam.

This is good for me, because it is making the Repub contest a little more intersting. I was almost ready to write it off as over. The Dem side is still an interesting contest, for it looks more and more like it will go all the way to the convention and then the real fireworks will begin.
