There was a post on FR the other day asking the question why aren’t more Catholics running for office? The answer is:

“What sane person would want to put themselves through this kind of political frenzy?”

It is interesting to note how many stories there were about independents being allowed to vote in the republican primary.

We now have a two man race.

Giuliani is going with the DC insider, so now we have a question as to where the Huckster's votes will go.

Of course will Giuliani supporters go with McInsane?
