Newt all the way. I think he's the only capable GOP candidate that can bridge the gap between crazy fringe GOP'ers and liberals to get into a more 1990's era Washington, which yeah, had it's problems, but not anything like we have now in terms of functioning government.
What leads you to believe that Newt is interested in building any bipartisan bridges? His whole career has been about scorched-earth politics.
More than a 1/4 of a billion dollars. Wow.
edit: Are there any billionaire athletes out there?
edit2: Answered my own question with a google search. Yes, Michael Schumaker (former dominant F1 driver, first billionaire athlete), Jordan and Tiger.

If you are taking emotion totally out of sports, there is no reason at all for you to be watching it.
An army of aspie stat nerds disagree.

Perry, Bachmann, Cain and Santorum? Yes, ridiculous nuts.
I'd like to add that, once you rightfully add Gingrich into that list, the Republican base seems insistent on nominating one of these nuts.

Did you read the interview with Oz in this edition of espn the magazine? I like Oz more and more after reading it.
People that say I'm a sugary Sox homer won't have a problem with me this year cause I despise Kenny and definitely will not be defending Robin as he learns on the job.
people say you're an Oz homer, not a Sox homer. Way to prove them right.

I do think the fact Buehrle is back with Ozzie does make this whole thing chap my ass a little bit more than it usually would.
Don't forget this gem:
"I have two grandchildren — Maggie is 11, Robert is 9," Gingrich said at Cornerstone Church here. "I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time they're my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American."
Edit: Paul is principled, but he's still pretty nutty when it comes to a lot of domestic issues and especially his love of gold.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school.
As President, I'll end Obama's war on religion. And I'll fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage.
Faith made America strong. It can make her strong again.
I'm Rick Perry and I approve this message.
But hey, it's totally unfair to characterize this crop of candidates as a bunch of ridiculous nuts.
