hmmm seeing reports now of Romney leading in Ohio... keep in mind Santorum wasn't on the ballot in every district

I find it weird Romney has that strong of a showing in Idaho.

Only 15% reporting, they probably got all the mormon districts in early - an efficient people, those Mormons.

I agree, which is why I said any kind of reform of that scale in this country is super unrealistic. Even without the citizens decision this was an issue, since campaign funding laws only apply towards campaigns, you could form a pac/superpac pre-citizens to advertise against a specific issue with unlimited funds(see: Prop 8 )

Given that we're never going to see that kind of reform, flooding the system with money is imho, the far lesser of the evils.

I remember playing a Civ game that had an option for Corporate Democracy. Hilarious how that prediction is coming true.

Whoa, did not know this was happening.

The Republican presidential primary in Ohio may still be too close to call, but two incumbent members of the House of Representatives have already fallen victim to Ohio primary voters.
Representative Jean Schmidt has lost to Tea-Party-backed candidate Ben Wenstrup in the Republican primary to represent Ohio's 2nd Congressional District. Mr. Wenstrup becomes the favorite to win the seat; Republican Senator John McCain won 54 percent of the district's vote in 2008.
Meanwhile, in the state's 9th Congressional District, it looks like Representative Marcy Kaptur has ousted fellow Democratic Representative Dennis Kucinich. With over 80 percent of precincts reporting, Ms. Kaptur is leading Mr. Kucinich 60 percent to 36 percent. The two incumbent Democrats had been forced to face-off after Ohio redrew its district lines.

No more Kucinich. That's weird.

So... the midwest is ... fucking nuts? Is that what I'm gathering?

Christ, I hope the ads aren't everywhere when the California primary comes around, but considering how many delegates are at stake.... shit.
And since ours isn't until June, this is gonna be drawn out as fuck. Can only hope for dropouts.

I'm kind of curious as to how many candidates are normally still active for a Super Tues.

Corporate Republic, actually. =P (Civilization: Call to Power) Back then it was my favorite government to play as. Now, I'm not so sure anymore.

And then we head to a world similar to the settings of Armored Core 4... fun times!

Santorium's gotta win the nomination. He's done absolutely nothing but harp about how wrong Obama is, but has offered no solutions, plus he's got a lot of baggage behind him. He's going to be eaten alive by Obama if he wins.
