I'm sorry you disapprove, the vast majority of the people who have contacted me, like it. It delivers a message, but you have to do something other than look at the pictures.

In fact, according to my Paintbucket stats, it's had almost 4,000 views so far.

Actually, I was going to ask you if you’d mind my using it, keeping your copyright intact of course.

Sure, be my guest...

I can’t believe the no one on Free Republic is pointing out that the latest Rasmussen poll of likely voters now shows ROMNEY now leading in Mississippi by EIGHT points. This makes me a little nervous, folks, because I’ll tell you what... Santorum and/or Gingrich absolutely MUST win Alabama, Mississippi, and Kansas next Tuesday if we are to have any remaining hope of keeping the nomination away from Romney. I’m very uncomfortable with how competitive Romney seems to be right now in these Deep Southern states. If he wins one or more of them as the result of Rick and Newt splitting the conservative vote, then we might as well resign ourselves to start referring to Mitt as “Republican Presidential Candidate Romney”.

Santorum and Gingrich supporters need to start putting their differences aside to make sure this DOESN’T happen. Hopefully, both campaigns will join forces to launch a barrage of negative ads against Romney throughout the weekend.

Thank you very much.

If Newt wins Alabama AND Mississippi while Romney wins Kansas, Rick is going to accelerate his dive. The nice thing is that almost all Rick’s delegates are unpledged and therefore available for pickin’s.
