Yesterday I was able to get in a good nap after my appointment, so I’m able to blog now. I’m current with replies. Today I have a two week pile of mail to sort.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 4:00 (average 5:06). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From San Francisco Chronicle: Ten senators — seven Democrats and three Republicans –say they won’t face voters again in November, the largest number of elected senators eschewing re-election since 13 decided to forgo new terms in 1996.
It could not please me more that one of them is Benedict Nelson (DINO-NE).
From Raw Story: Republican presidential Rick Santorum is advising President Barack Obama not to raise taxes on the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans because “higher-income people don’t have to pay taxes if they don’t want to.” [emphasis added]
Santorum actually stated the Republican position precisely.
From Political Wire: Final Super Tuesday Polls
Ohio
Quinnipiac: Romney 34%, Santorum 31%, Gingrich 15%, Paul at 12%.
American Research Group: Romney 35%, Santorum 28%, Gingrich 18%, Paul 13%.
Rasmussen: Santorum 32%, Romney 31%, Gingrich 13%, Paul 13%.
Merriman: Romney 38%, Santorum 33%, Gingrich 18%, Paul 8%.
Suffolk: Santorum 37%, Romney 33%, Gingrich 16%, Paul 8%.
CNN/Opinion Research: Romney 32%, Santorum 32%, Gingrich 14%, Paul 11%
Georgia
Mason-Dixon: Gingrich 38%, Romney 24%, Santorum 22%, Paul 3%.
American Research Group: Gingrich 44%, Romney 24%, Santorum 19%, Paul 9%.
Tennessee
We Ask America: Romney 30%, Santorum 29%, Gingrich 29%, Paul 12%
It looks good for Rmoney, especially due to the terrible Republican screw-up in VA.

I’m replying early because of Super Tuesday, so I have.t done the next one yet.
Sorry Tom off topic….

AP, I sent JR an email.
I also twist, separate and stack, but I lick the centers until gone and then let the outsides melt in my mouth.
Asleep at AIPAC! And this is who some Americans want sitting with his finger on the red button?!
The Senate — “. . .Snowe, a three-term Maine Republican known for voting with Democrats on some high-profile issues, said her decision was driven by frustration over partisanship and lack of compromise in the Senate. Other departing senators who seek consensus on such issues as debt reduction say they share her view. . . .”
There goes lunch!
Democratic centrists have done ok, but txtreme right wingers like Benedict Nelson, not so much.
Exactly!
Report coming soon.
Thanks!
ap, not sure why. All spam catchers are imperfect, but this one usually does a good job. Will need actual IP address if the problem persists.
