Yup. Don’t forget FDR. A real working class stiff, him.
Or JFK. Such a poor boy; family barely kept food on the table.
Have a blessed Palm Sunday, Alas!
Senator Ron Johnson has endorsed Mitt Romney on Meet the Press.
I will check in briefly next Sunday. I am looking forward to Holy Week.
I was watching the Final Four at a tavern on the South Side of Chicago with some old college buddies of the mine, most of whom were conservative Democrats, all of whom hate Obama.
One of them, who’s very involved in the Democratic party, and very knowledgeable about Cook County and Illinois Democratic politics, turned to me and asked me, as the sole Republican there, why in the world are the Republicans nominating Romney.
I tried to explain the herd mentality of establishment Republicans, the desire to find anyone that can beat Obama, the thinking of the establishment that Romney can attract independents, the arguments about money and organization, Romney’s carpet bombing of the airwaves in Republican primaries, etc.
He just shook his head, “Santorum would’ve been a problem for us. But this guy’s a joke. He’s going to get destroyed. Obama’s really vulnerable, and you guys are picking the weakest candidate to run against him.”
I had no response.
