Sorry; I should have declared.

Who did we want? I still don't know if that person exists.

Paul Ryan; Mike Pence.

I've been resigned to the inevitability for some time now, probably since Perry started tanking after the early debates.  It's been interesting watching the process, since I was holding out no hope.

Here's the thing though, I think it's possible to push Romney to the right.  Really.  The impression I have though, is that this nonsense about Bain and Newt attacking capitalism, it's Newt's way of DARING Romney not to go further left, and the people in Camp Romney telling him "you can't let Newt get to the left of you."  If I'm right, this is a comedy, not a tragedy.  And if that's all it's about, then it's not out of the question that Romney does a reversal of what we all were told to expect: campaign right in the primaries, move to the center in the general.

If the question is limited to rock/pop, you do have to draw a hard line that would eliminate the likes of Armstrong and Ellington. 

Someone asked about Robert Johnson, the blues stuff recorded in that era was a seriously limited market, and you'd probably not find too many white people who would have been listening to it at the time. 

It's too early for all you wimps to roll over for Romney.  At least, it is, according to this English guy:

Mitt Romney looks formidable, but he could still stumble in South Carolina

Mitt Romney made history yesterday. He is the first Republican (other than an incumbent president) to win both Iowa and New Hampshire. He has Mittmentum.

South Carolina votes on the 21st, and its primary is fast turning into the last stand of the Republican Right. Romney is likely to win, but there are a few things that could trip him up in the next ten days.

1. The Bain attack might start to pay off. South Carolina has some pockets of old industry that have suffered in the recession. Stories circulating about how Romney behaved like Larry the Liquidator while working at Bain could hurt him among blue-collar voters. Already Mitt is in trouble for saying how much he enjoys firing people, while Newt GingrichÂ’s super PAC is spending $3.4 million on anti-Bain, anti-Romney ads in South Carolina alone.

2. Someone other than Mitt performs well in the next debate. Debates have mattered in this primary season in a way that they never have before. Almost every candidate’s surge has been prefigured by a good debate performance – including Huntsman’s last minute bounce in New Hampshire. It’s entirely possible that Gingrich or Santorum might shine in the debates on the 16th and 19th. It’s also possible that everyone could gang up on Romney, as they did last Sunday.

3. Someone drops out. Romney is winning primaries, but not by much. He gets away with it because the Anybody But Romney vote is split several ways. If Rick Perry pulls out, his percentage could top up GingrichÂ’s or SantorumÂ’s and make them competitive. Better still, if Gingrich or Santorum drop out, the remaining candidate would be formidable. On this score, conservatives really have to get their act together soon.

4. Christian conservatives settle on a candidate and rally round. At the end of this week, religious conservatives will meet in Texas to choose a figurehead. It’s significant that Gary Bauer, former head of the powerful Family Research Council, has already endorsed Santorum. South Carolina is an intensely religious state – far more so than New Hampshire. If Gingrich or Santorum can get enough momentum among evangelical voters, they might pull off a narrow win.

5. The polls prove accurate. So far, opinion polling has proven pretty good at predicting the finishing order of various candidacies. The latest results for South Carolina put Romney at around 30 percent, with Santorum and Gingrich at about 20 percent each. Those odds arenÂ’t bad: with a little movement and a little luck, either candidate could gain ten points in the next week. It helps that Ron Paul probably isnÂ’t a factor in this race: heÂ’s languishing at ten percent.

In short, thereÂ’s still everything to play for. Ultimately, primaries are all about good math: cobble together a certain number of votes and youÂ’ve got a winning plurality. If either Gingrich or Santorum emerges in the next few days as the leader of a solid Anybody But Romney movement, theyÂ’ll open the race up again. If they donÂ’t, the 2012 Republican primaries will be a lifeless coronation.

Maybe not records but they definitely hired black bands to play at parties. Funniest story in the movie "Louie Bluie" where Howard Armstrong talks about playing Polish songs (and singing in Polish)

Amen!  They're awfully repetitious too, but that's only if you try to listen to one song after another, which was never the way it was intended.  I can't even begin to imagine what it was like to listen to him live.  There was a reason some genius decided they needed to get him into a studio.  Unfortunately, due to lack of funds or trying to make some quick cash, they didn't put much effort into the recordings.

And the media will, for the first time in living memory, be right.

Exactly what the Romney fucks were counting on.   That everyone would vote for a week old ham sandwich if it was the nominee against the SCOAMF.

I'd wager that most of the viscious underhanded attacks against any of the other nominees came from the Romney camp.   That's just how that fucker rolls, and that's why the other candidates are calling him out for just what the hell he is.   They know what the hell he's doing.

Romney is depending on the fact that we all want to frogmarch the asswipe from the WH, and he thinks that no matter what we'll all drag ourselves to the polls to beat deWon, even if it means we have to vote for someone that many of us despise.

Honestly, I'm afraid we are overestimating the people that hate de Won enough to get off their asses and go to the polls for someone they don't think will be much better.

I believe everything I read on the internet.  So thanks for clearing that up. 

Does it bother you at all that there's this huge swath of the Republican Party, people all over the country who consider themselves to be conservatives, who believe, not only that Romney has nothing in common with them, but seems to have active disdain for them?

@51 What to do for the next 6-7 months?  Work to get conservative Congresscritters elected.

Exactly! Work at the local level to influence the political atmosphere, bring in the conservative voices (hopefully with a Libertarian bend) at the local, state, and national levels. This is not too tough for me, I live in a very conservative district, McCotter is my congresscritter and he does a pretty fine job. I am also actively working for Pete Hoekstra against Debbie Stabenaw, and some other local guys who deserve some support. And the local Tea Party groups are well organized, funded, and poplular.

I am willing to support Romney based on ABO, and I know he will have to listen if the majority of his party are conservatives. After all, that will be the direction the wind blows.

Oh yes, and Campaign Promises Not Kept 

@34: "Unrelated question. Who was the first black rock/pop radio star? And by star I mean somebody who was famous and had at least a top ten hit song. So they had to be a hit with white america, too.

I'm guessing Nat King Cole in the early 50s."

Cab Calloway?  Minne the Moocher was 1931 or so.

>> What you don't get (most of you), is that Romney is the perfect opponent for Obama.

Yeah, I know.  God I hate being stupid.  It's a chore.  I mean you'd think it would be easy, la la la la laaa.. but it's really hard.

At this point I don't even think it matters whether I vote in the general, Obama can't take Texas.  No contested House seat to worry about, and Dewhurst will win Kay Bailey's seat.

Oil-Less Roux

2 cups all purpose flour

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spread flour evenly across the bottom of a 15-inch cast iron skillet. Bake, stirring occasionally, for approximately 1 hour. Make sure to stir well around the edges of the skillet so flour does not scorch. Cook flour until light or dark color is achieved, depending on use. The roux will become darker when liquid is added. When desired color is reached, cool on a large cookie sheet, stirring occasionally. Store in a sealed jar for future use. 1 cup of oil-less roux will thicken 1 1/2 quarts of stock to a proper gumbo consistency.

I really can't stand those arguments, and not just because it's libertarianism.  I think some people seem to think you need to follow the legal arguments to their extreme, and they sorta lose sight of common sense.  I don't think they're they typical conservative though, just the ones who are really REALLY passionate about parsing the language.

Or something like that.  All I know is I got yelled at for calling the legal beagles, because they follow the scent wherever it takes them, and pay no attention to the cars whizzing by their heads.

I've never heard of baking it in a cast iron skillet.  I melt 1/4 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of oil then stir in whole wheat flour and slowly cook it on the stove.  Takes about an hour for a very dark roux.  Have to stir fairly often but it comes out perfect.

Over the past few nights, I have been reading Morons talking about making roux like it was alchemy. Mrs fluffy, on the other hand, once told me in an off-hand voice, "Once you learn to make a roux you can cook just about anything."

Tami, it was all in her head.  But I can get close.  Like no good deed said, a cast iron skillet is the deal, cause you get that nice, even heat.

And the one I use is the one she had for 40 years.

Thanks y'all.  I was mostly just remembering is all.

LOL!

Excellent as always.

Wisconsin-Stevens Point's nickname is the Pointers.  But the lady's team is called the Setters.

Actually, that's a lie.  there is no lady's team.  But there should be.

That is truly sexist.  There's no reason a bitch can't hunt.

Yes it's The Man hisself, from his hit Reelin' and Rockin'.  I'd venture a guess that he somehow surprised her.

For anyone who is learning guitar, My Ding a Ling by Chuck Berry is a great learner because it's classic, short and simple.

And funny as hell!

Halfwit:  okra is a key component of gumbo.  But fried crisp, it's also tasty.  Grits has to be properly cooked - the instant and quick stuff is nasty.

But stick with your gooey white rice and instant mashed potatoes, and have fun at the whorehouse.

You can't fix Hollowpoint's palate.

*hands him a box of mac and cheese*

Oh, wow. This is just like I said @273 on "Rush Rips Perry":

"Perhaps what we should take away, first and foremost, is that 'Mitt's the guy.' "

Will Not Assimiilate,

Romney is a RINO stiff, but he's nothing like Al Gore.  Al Gore really was just running on the family name and connections. Romney probably benefited from family connections in some way, but he made his bones on his own in the private sector and in a bigger way than his dad ever did.  Romney donated his entire inheritance to charity.

Romney is Hannibal to his dad's Hamilcar Barca, assuming the Barcids were RINO squishes.

This whole father-son stuff in politics is interesting.  You have Churchill and his dad.  You have the Gores, father and son.  You have the Bushes.  Of those, I think Gore is definitely the one who had the least talent and ability in this own right.  George Bush II was a little bit running on his daddy's gas too, although not nearly as much.  But Churchill and Romney and mostly Bush benefited from their family connections but earned it in their own right too.

What you see, though, is that the family connection and trying to live up to Dad distorted their careers.  Churchill did a lot of loony stuff that held him back politically in trying to imitate his father.  Romney and Gore are both ultra-stiff and awkward probably because neither of them is naturally interested in politics.  Romney is trying to redeem his Dad's failure to become President and Gore was groomed for it by his family.  In both cases, the lack of natural inclination shows.  Bush was over-eager to get into Iraq without thinking through how to make it work probably in part to finish what his Dad hadn't.

Look at it this way.

1) We get Romney.
2) He picks a solidly conservative VP.
3) We get a Republican Congress
4) Conservative appointments take over the Judiciary..
5) Republicans rule for the next 16 years.

Remember that Romney only governed left when he had to accommodate a far left legislature.  If he has a conservative legislature I doubt he will lean left.

I don't know, Lucy.  I've got my hopes up before, and the football got yanked away.

OK, honestly, I haven't, not for Presidents.  But I did get my hopes up for the GOP class of 2010, which hasn't accomplished much.  Maybe they will, though?  Yes, they will!  Hold that football, I'm gonna boot it.

Why can't we criticize him from the Right?  It's not like Obama is going to run ads gigging Romney for being too moderate.

If Ace isn't actually trying to suppress turnout and reminds people why turning out is important, holding the nominee's feet to the fire would be a healthy thing.  It's long past time that Republicans stopped hero-worshipping our nominees and relying on them to inspire and motivate us.

Our cause is our inspiration.  Our cause is our motivation.  Our nominees are our employees, and we are pretty hard-ass bosses.

The AOSHQ is going Michael Moore too?  Sad.

Paris, you're one of those guys who comes here now and again, and leaves the impression you're getting paid by Team Romney to come here and say the things you do.  And that's about the nicest interpretation I can come up with for the nonsense you drop off.

You say a number of very stupid things yourself.  My interpretation is that you have a low IQ.

The Obama administration just tried to get the Supreme Court to strip churches of their First Amendment protection to be immune from discrimination laws in hiring ministers.

That's right, the Obama Administration thought that churches should have to hire ministers and priests without discriminating on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation.  And some of you say that the election doesn't matter!

Some of you nancies who have given up on defeating Romney but act like if you can't defeat Romney, defeating Obama doesn't matter, are dumber than a retard in a laboratory.
