    Slightly off topic I’m afraid but I’m looking forward to your next post on the current Republican nomination race.

    From what I understand; the situation is that santorum is surging again as Perry departs from the rear with Gingrich still behind and Mittens might have climaxed prematurely as his polls are going down already.

    IOW they remain a fairly laughable bunch of clowns.
