I cannot wait for this film:

Meanwhile, for some unknown reason, Monica Lewinsky is shopping a top-secret book project, according to Page Six in the New York Post. Hey Monica, it is not 1999 anymore. I mean, I guess if she had written a tell all in the early 2000’s it would be made money, but now? She blew the President. We know that. She was pleasured with a cigar. We know that. What more detail can see possibly provide then the Starr Report? And the timing is odd too. Why not in 2008, when Hillary was running. Or how about waiting until 2016, when Hillary will be running again? It is just so very odd.

“[Romney’s] bluster is a coward’s idea of how a brave man acts: Never hesitate, never apologize. When you’re wrong, say it again, only louder,” – Mark Kleiman.

“And the lesson is clear: If we want to win the battle of ideas in the long term, we should be willing to face the fact that Mitt Romney is likely to lose — and should, given that he’s neither a true conservative nor a courageous moderate. He’s just an ambitious man. Nothing wrong with that, except when you want to be president. Great leaders combine ambition and ideas and conviction.” — Joe Scarborough.

As Unstable Isotope said on Twitter, if the following happened, I suspect the GOP will become instant fans of doing away with the electoral college:

“At least three Republican electors say they may not support their party’s presidential ticket when the Electoral College meets in December to formally elect the new president, escalating tensions within the GOP and adding a fresh layer of intrigue to the final weeks of the White House race,” the AP reports.

The electors — all are supporters of Ron Paul — said they “are exploring options should Mitt Romney win their states. They expressed frustration at how Republican leaders have worked to suppress Paul’s conservative movement and his legion of loyal supporters.”
