Not Everyone in New Hampshire Is Up to Speed

There are 160 people in New Hampshire who voted for Herman Cain last night. HE'S NOT IN THE RACE ANY MORE!

If you're going to bother going to vote, you should probably vote for someone actually running for office. For example, Governor Perry is almost as unqualified to be POTUS as Herman Cain. You could have voted for him.

Admittedly, the far right's commitment to anti-intellectualism is getting harder to stick to with withdrawals by Cain and Bachman. But they've still got Perry. And they've got Santorum too. (Can the Tea Party vote for a Catholic?)

Oh, let's not forget Ron Paul, who finished second last night. His ascension to prominence in the GOP primary is proof of the extremism that has taken hold in the party. The man thinks civil rights legislation is unconstitutional and that our economic problems are the result of abandoning the gold standard. I give him credit for having principles. The problem with having such strong convictions arises when you are wrong. Do we really want to go back to toting around bags of doubloons and segregated restaurants? Apparently, some New Hampshirians (New Hampsters?) do.

My dad always said, "A little learning is a dangerous thing." Right now, I'd be grateful for a "little learning" among the GOP primary voters because IMO, they are already about as dangerous as they can get.

Footnote - Just found out: 300 GOP primary voters in New Hampshire voted for Barack Obama to be their nominee. I think that's kinda funny. And fantastic!
