Joementum posted:Actually, he's got an even better plan: he's trying to convince the KY GOP to opt-out of the primary and run a Presidential caucus convention instead. Since that won't be administered by the state, it won't run foul of the ballot law. Parties can do this, since it's up to them what type of selection process they run for nominations, so it has a decent shot of working. It still doesn't solve his general election problem, but that's not really his biggest general election problem anyway. In theory anyway - can't the KY Republican party just ignore the results of the primary and nominate him if they wanted to? Or is there some state law that forces them to honor the results of the ballot? Wasn't it Missouri in 2012 that ran both a primary and a caucus and just ignored the results of the primary?

There was the sniper after 9/11, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it's no true Christians carrying out most if not all of the shootings in America. There was that one in New Mexico where the shooter was a kid who was the tri fecta of home schooled, Christian AND the son of a pastor. That got buried REEEAAAL fast.

Romney needs to simply campaign like this. Just swagger onto the stage and be all super-rich pimping. "I've done this dog and pony show twice before, I don't loving care anymore, I'm a rich pimp and you're not and all these other candidates are even bigger assholes than me." I still wouldn't vote for him, but it would be entertaining as gently caress.

State laws don't matter. The Supreme Court already decided that political parties can use whatever method they want to choose nominees on free association grounds. If the KY GOP wants to host a cock fight to decide the nomination (which with Matt Bevin running for Governor they just might) they can do that.

But that's only a factor if the KY GOP want to run the primary themselves, right? They can do that, but it's a logistical pain in the butt and it's expensive. Given that they don't like Rand Paul, I'm hard-pressed to see them switching from a state-run primary to some sort of firehouse primary system to help out a guy who isn't a part of their machine (if they go convention couldn't Rand get beat by an ultra-TeaPartier, especially if he moves libertarian for the Presidential Primary?).

I assume all the squawking over Obama's suit was a legitimate fashion thing and not ahahahah I can't even pretend that "suitgate" wasn't the stupidest and most petty thing ever.

Carson is pretty clearly just saying things that he thinks will play well with the base. The quote about gay parents is likely all Carson, but the evolution thing is probably a play for support. Not an especially good one, though

sullat posted:Biology and anatomy don't require buying into evolution, all you need is to say the good lord connected the foot bone to the leg bone and proceed from there. Of course they don't require you to believe that evolution happened (well, the latter discipline anyway), but the breathtakingly stupid analogy that Carson drew in order to proudly proclaim his ignorance goes beyond simply denying the theory's validity. It demonstrates a clear lack of understanding as to how evolution works in the first place. So it's entirely possible that he: Captain_Maclaine posted:[...] compartmentalized memorization that [he did his] best to forget as soon as [he] got the degree. But the more likely story is that: Good Citizen posted:Carson is pretty clearly just saying things that he thinks will play well with the base. [...] the evolution thing is probably a play for support. Not an especially good one, though. I was just sputtering exasperation when I made that reply; it really rankles me when someone like that shows absolute ignorance about an essential pillar of biological science, whether s/he subscribes to it or not. Now that I've got my bearings back, my cynical, curmudgeonly side assumes that this is just a very poorly executed appeal to the base. Those idiots will lap it up, but he thankfully doesn't have a chance anyway.
