he's getting plenty of bad pub from it, maybe he will yet call it off. the first person i saw raising their eyebrows about it was NY Ranger Brad Richards on Twitter. So it's not like it's conservatives raising it. He's hot, btw ; )

I don’t know that he has time to call it off now does he? Wouldn’t that have been better done right after the storm, not the night before the race?

OH ground report from my niece at u of Akron just now. En route to a job interview there she saw 50+ Romney signs, including one with empty chair, and only one Obama sign. All five girls in her apt voted Romney Ryan. My nephew at mt union college said his campus is noticeably Romney in orientation.

Neither can I, but I suppose that is what can be expected from someone who buys into Al Gore’s chicken little climate scenario, or is more concerned about taking away salt and sodas than he is about the fact that people can’t get gas for their generators so they can keep warm because there is no electricity...

Oh the outrage has gone viral. The twitter hashtag #LetThemEatMarathon is trending.

This morning, a fellow hikers I saw on the trail said with the job numbers still sucking, he guessed that Obama’s operatives were handing out free condoms in fiesta colors to get the younger people to come to the rallies to hear him speak...

When I turned on the TV, I saw on Fox that people in New York are spiking the outrage meter over that marathon-hotels are full of displaced locals, and people who have traveled there for the marathon and have reservations actually getting huffy because the hotel management says quite rightly, sorry-locals who are in need come first.

I guess that tells us how concerned and good-hearted the marathon crowd Bloomingidiot wants to please is. I don’t understand why someone doesn’t cancel the thing, tell the gawkers and runners to go home, and get back to their real job of helping the local people get shelter, food and water and stay warm. This seems as stupid as if New Orleans had decided to go ahead with a Mardi Gras celebration a few days after Katrina...

Thank you! I hope he runs up so many legal bills over the Bengazi scandal that he can’t afford that estate in Hawaii that Michelle Antoinette wants. And he should lose his civil service retirement too, just like any other civil servant or military member does if they are found guilty...

My wife just got back from the state store. She was not the only one buying champagne for a Romney victory.
