I've never bothered to read seriously about the guy, but someone told me once that his family made their money in the air rights craze. I still can't believe air rights are a thing, even though they make sense in a place like that. No idea if all that's true, but anything that lets my mind boggle itself over air rights is momentarily fulfilling.

All I see is Joe Biden doubling in the polls since December. At this rate he will have 100% of the electorate by Iowa.

If Clinton wasn't running, Cuomo would be in there faster than you could say "Zephyr Teachout", and I dunno if Gillibrand could beat him.

I think I'm up to date here but did everyone already have a nice laugh about this one? http://www.politico.com/story/2015/03/liz-mair-scott-walker-iowa-116174.html?hp=r2_3 quote:Only a day after being announced as an aide to Gov. Scott Walker’s political operation, Liz Mair told The Associated Press on Tuesday that she was resigning. Mair took considerable heat for her frank Twitter criticism of Iowa’s early role in the presidential nomination process. lmfao, who signs onto a presidential primary campaign thinking "Gee I really hope no one notices that I said Iowa loving sucks on twitter"

Andrew Kaczynski found this video of everyone's favorite perennial presidential hopeful Ricky S. at the National Security Action Summit last weekend, answering the single craziest question ever asked in U.S. politics. It is is the closest thing to a must-watch video that Santorum will have in this race.
