Rand Paul looks like a Fisher Price toy phone, and the joke is that he looks like a more upscale business phone with new hair.

How anybody could ever forget that joke is beyond me. Every time I see a picture of Rand Paul I am forcibly reminded of it.

I pointed out a while back that Randpaul looked like a toy phone and it stuck. Now that he's been given the Evan Bayh treatment he's a grown-rear end adult phone you'd find in an unassuming cubicle somewhere.

Hey New New Hampshire goons! I found your campaign appearance tracker. If anyone from that state wants to go some campaign stops and bring back a trip report that would be cool.


I want to try my hand at find campaign speechs or interviews from the day before. If nobody gives a poo poo or wants me to stop just say so.
Here is Carly Fiorina's campaign speech in New Boston, NH.
A bit of Carson in Urbandale Link at bottom of the article for the speech audio.

Jeb Bush is touring Europe and started it off with a speech in Berlin

All of this below is from PJTV. They are very right wing independent media who seem to be roaming some of the gatherings. All of the below are from 6/6. The guy asks a few crazy questions that make the candidates wonder WTF.
Fiorina on why democrats are the most sexist party. Happened at the roast and ride.
Fiorina interview
Ben Carson at Des Moines farmers market 6/6 before the Roast and Ride
Marco Rubio interview
Rick Perry quick interview
Lindsay Graham quick interview

All interviews below are from last night or this morning.
Rick Santorum appeared on the THe Glenn Beck program this morning
Huckabee on Mornings with Maria. I think today.
Rick Perry on Mornings with Maria. I guess it was this morning
Lindsay Graham tells off Hannity last night.
George Pataki. Who gives a poo poo?
Full Diane Rehm interview with Bernie. Includes the shocking twist!

Ted Cruz gets a key endorsement. Down and to the left. This is a pro click. Click this if you click anything. If your worried about a watch list don't watch this.

It seems Rand Paul said something dumb


If anyone knows of any blogs that gather this information or tips on how to find it that would be great! I may trim the list of candidates I'll post to those who have a shot.

I hope you can find the time to do this every day

Buzzfeed posted:

John Perry, a prolific author who co-wrote two books with former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and co-wrote one with Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore, was accused of child molestation in two separate lawsuits, BuzzFeed News has found.

A 2012 police investigation of Perry’s alleged offenses found that “the allegations of sexual battery were sustained” but that the statute of limitations had expired.

...

In a sworn affidavit submitted during divorce proceedings, Perry’s ex-wife attests that “I filed for divorce as a result of Mr. Perry’s inappropriate marital conduct, to which he admitted to in his Response to Interrogatories numbers 1 and 2.” Throughout the court documents, “inappropriate marital conduct” appears to be a euphemism for the alleged molestation.

...

Another filing, submitted by Perry’s ex-wife’s attorney earlier in the same proceedings, refers to Perry’s “admitted sexual abuse” of a minor child. Perry’s response to that filing — also submitted prior to his ex-wife’s affidavit — does not deny the abuse, or that Perry admitted it. Instead, Perry claims that “there was never any testimony or other evidence of any kind presented” to the court, “or any orders or findings of fact […] regarding any alleged sexual abuse of any minor child relative to the parties’ divorce or any other legal proceeding …”

A second child molester has hit the Huckabee campaign.

Fox and the New Hampshire Union Leader are both scheduling runner-up debates on August 6. They're both getting around the RNC rules that state that candidates can't participate in unsanctioned debates by calling these "forums" and having the candidates speak one-at-a-time to the crowd rather than a "debate" question-and-answer format. Fox will require the losers to still be polling at least 1%, while the Union Leader is just requiring that they have an "established campaign and staffing". I believe Vermin Supreme qualifies under those criteria! The Union Leader forum will be on C-SPAN.

That means there's going to be something live five hours of "debates" on August 6. :munch:

Grant & Sons gave the Scot who was defying him the Scot of the Year Award.

Trump responded by throwing a fit and banning all Grant &* Sons alcohol from his properties, which he probably can't actually do because he's just a brand and doesn't own much of anything, so it's just usual bluster.
