Hobo Signs

A bunch of bums guiding each other along the road of life.

I wish I could be that optimistic about Thompson, Greg, but I'm finding it difficult. At the moment, I'm watching NH primary results, and with 11% of the precincts reporting, we have Thompson at 1%. Write-ins are at 3%.

I just saw on TV that someone named "Crow" received some votes on the Democrat side. So I consulted our handy-dandy list, and found Randy Crow.

It didn't take much poking around before I discovered that... the guy's a Truther. And he got votes. I'm pretty sure it was more than one, too, since they're showing him getting 1%, which has got to be more than 1 vote. That scares me.

For what it's worth, I see the whole Truther thing, first and foremost, as a failure of our educational system. I like this quote by an MIT professor: "These people (in the 9/11 truth movement) use the 'reverse scientific method.' They determine what happened, throw out all the data that doesn't fit their conclusion, and then hail their findings as the only possible conclusion."

NH isn't a conservative state. It used to be, but it is no longer.

Iowa produces no delegate votes. Wyoming--just a few.

The race is way to early to count people out. Back in 1992 (or was it 1988?), Bush(1) was getting his clock cleaned at this point--and by double digits.

The fact that a truther is registering on the board only bolsters my point...

NH isn't representative of the country. Let's just wait and see...

Anyone going to take my challenge and make some predictions?
