Jindahl's on his way...Pfffffffffffffft.

local new just informed us here in Iowa that two of Jindahl's staff have resigned and moved to Iowa to set up operations. What makes that man think that he is presidential material? He's just a walking trainwreck. Who supports him? I don't get it.

I still laugh every time I see the opening of the "State of the Union" response. The man looks like Alfred E. Neumann and sounds like a high school freshman delivering a book report.

And it is the abortion issue. Put up all other issues and they would vote for another candidate.

Louisiana can't afford but my staff, they need raises because Louisiana can afford it. He doesn't do well as a public speaker and he is blinded by his own political aspirations, he is a legion in his own mind.

on a project on brain injury some years back. That was back before he decided to become political. I was shocked to see him appear as this utterly neanderthal political creature after some years. He had always been affable and appeared to have the good of those in need in mind. Who know what happened especially since he was all about marshalling state resources for the care of those with disabilities before.

The person who tries to see the best in people wants to say that he's going to give it the old college try no matter what the odds are.

The realist in me feels sorry for him because he's so self-deluded that he doesn't see that he offers nothing in the way of opinions that every other GOP candidate will plus he doesn't realize that he's carry a big strike against him in being non-white, which shows that he also doesn't know that his racist party is desperate to have the White House back in the hands of a probably older, white male.
