Ok-ey Doak-ey – here we are in another year!
And just as confused as ever. (L) We’re supposed to find out how many Iowa delegates will be voting for which candidate when the nominating convention of the Republican Party convenes in Florida this summer. But we really have no idea who we want to be the candidate for this party YET! Things have been so mixed up so far – according to the MSM (main stream media for those who do not follow Rush Limbaugh’s line of speech) and I doubt if we’ll get an iron-clad verdict this week even though millions of $$$ have been expended in the process… both of contributed tax type money and that voluntarily donated by supporters.
It’s going to be a long year – I fear… and we’re just starting. But perhaps the excitement of the possibility of making change will indeed stir the corpuscles and crank up the engine.
I’ve started off the new year with a grand, cold, sore throat and cough… so don’t get too close to the radio… stranger things have happened.
Tomorrow we’ll do some more ‘educated guessing’ and watch the pros do the same thing… and sometime down in the week – or maybe the month – we’ll get an indication of just what happened in Iowa in January. The difficulty is the process has been shoved up to the head of the line… and penalties on who gets to vote at the convention are being imposed by Party rules… so we really have nothing substantive – or maybe definitive – to really show for the efforts that have gone on before.
Meanwhile, our President and his family and I presume knighted members of his Cabinet are working on their golf game… (90 rounds or so for POTUS) and lots of heavy thinking… (Rhymes with imbibing)… and so the Ship of State sails on it’s deficit way.
We’ll try to be more informative – if possible, tomorrow.
Cordially, IN HIM (J)

“JUST A MINUTE”
YOU TRULY NEED A PROGRAM!
Just a Minute: It’s a near impossibility this year to tell the players without a program – but since I’m short on time lemme reel off the ones *I* think at least have a chance.
Romney and Paul, (of all people), are statistically tied for first. And amazingly the media virtually ignores the fact Iowa’s previous caucuses have a spotty record for choosing the eventual winners. Santorum is closing in and a strong possibility for third – and from there on it’s Perry, Gingrich and possibly even Bachmann.
You can put those last three in almost any order you wish with a roll of the dice – they’ve all held the lead at one time or another.
Jump toward the end: We’ve experienced ‘faddist’ styles in candidates like we did in Jr. Hi School when loafers or blue denim’s or whatever came into style and faded. Each has experienced a surge – Mitt’s has been relatively steady which is due to his showing four years ago – and calmer strategy and planning – plus lots of steady cash.
So who’ll win? Be listening on Tuesday. <> I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
