Not going to try and defend what I said, but the suspicion is made real by what anyone can observe in trends among southern political activists and their groups. They tend to vote for candidates that are more qualified to be pastors than Presidents. Speaking as someone who is going to attend a church tomorrow morning where women cannot be pastors, I am not trying to slam anyone on that grounds. I just think that it is ridiculous when the South his a long history of trying to get Presidents elected who have no other qualifications other than perhaps the notion that some divine finger will descend from the heavens to endow them with the knowledge and expertise they require. LOL!

No offense meant. I just didn't want you to read too much into these results. And I can agree with your observation about lots of southern candidates. However I really believe it's different this time. Too many people are really scared where the country is going. This morning on F&F they had results of a national poll that believed their children will have a harder time of it than the current generation. That is scary but I think many of us can agree with it. Romney and Newt represent the typical eastern establishment and to a large extent are from the past. No one is going rally around Ron Paul. Sarah has the most people excited right now, but that doesn't discount that others may come along in the next couple of years with her passion and ability to energize crowds and express the ideas of smaller, more limited government.

Yeah, no need for me to try and think myself into a corner on this one. That is one of the disadvantages to being able to make one click and send out anything you think on the Internet, many times a person (especially someone like me) needs more time to simply think it over. I often post something thinking I have built a solid foundation for what I think, and end up changing my mind completely as the days go on and I discuss what I posted with others I know.

I agree who resides over the next Presidential term is far too important for people to be worried about many of the issues I grew up hearing about all the time. Maybe I have to ask myself I am somewhat of relic?

I was a kid when Reagan was elected and resided during his two terms, and I had my dad try to explain Reaganomics to me when I was eight. After that there was Bush Sr., wasn’t really satisfied or particularly dissatisfied with him. Inevitably, the Clintons came along and brought with them all the things the media wanted everyone to believe packaged in a way the media could not resist to try and sell. After that was Bush Jr., who didn’t really put conservatism into practice, but was probably only elected to make sure we would be spared the antics of the Democratic party.

So, there is probably some spring cleaning to do inside the mental artillery before I start thinking about what’s going to come out from the campaigns this election year.
