highly embarrassing.

You should see it in person. It's bordering on scary.

Me sold? No me hoping against hopes something would defeat Obama.

Just because he doesn't play the guitar and give you donuts...

Nope, no changing history now. You're on the record. Even Tex was more tempered in his support of Palin.

It's the free coffee and the fog machines. I refuse to attend a Romney rally until he has both. Oh, and a laser light show.

I think you're engaging in revisionist history.

My choices in descending order were Romney, Hutchinson and somebody else. I didn't know who Palin was. That's a true statement.

I'll retract it, because i have no memory of any enthusiastic post for Palin. I argued in favor hoping it might help, but there was never any enthusiasm for her.

Help me out.
