Not sure that 46 people is quite a large enough sample, and I wonder how the researchers vote, but quite an interesting take! I'd be curious to see what Rob thinks of this.

Quoted: However, his team discovered that social conservatives react more strongly to shocking images and sudden noises by sweating more and blinking harder, compared to liberals. Such innate threat responses point to a biological, and perhaps genetic, basis for our politics, he says.

Quoted: Although it is very unusual for us to endorse in a presidential election, this is an unprecedented candidate and an unprecedented time for our country.

Supporting Obama "and his running mate, longtime friend and ally of women, Sen. Joe Biden."

Just interesting how these things play out in real life. I think it's important for everyone to have their voice, no matter who they vote for. It was appropriate for Hillary to get her roll call and have only her call it to a halt. It's good that they're at least correcting the numbers at the GOP, even if they are calling McCain's nomination "unanimous".

Quoted: The announced Republican National Convention vote late Wednesday was John McCain, 2,372; Ron Paul, 5; and Mitt Romney, 2. However, Republican officials Thursday made sure to point out that Minnesota actually gave the Texas congressman six votes, one more than all the rest of the convention. Officials blame loud cheering on convention secretaries' inability to hear when Gov. Tim Pawlenty recited the Paul votes.

For those curious about how Ron Paul fared...

Quoted: Paul got five votes from Alaska, home of McCain’s pick for vice president, Gov. Sarah Palin. Oregon and Washington each gave Paul four votes, and West Virginia gave him two votes. ...

This was funny and on target... Politics in all its asinine drama... I need a beer...

Quoted: The point wasn't really to convince anyone that she, Bill and Chelsea commute between their two lavish mansions in a five-year-old Ford F-150 pickup with a gun rack and a "Jesus Rocks!" bumper sticker. Her aim was to prove to the nation -- or at least to Democratic primary voters in Pennsylvania and Indiana -- that she's better at feigning regularness than Obama.

One question answered about who will be on the November ballot, anyway. Should be interesting!

Quoted: "If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror," Romney will say...

Something tells me there's not going to be much, if any, green in this President's legacy. But, hey, if the prevailing winds move him to some kind of change, have at it.

Quoted: For years, Bush bristled privately at what he considered sky-is-falling alarmism by the liberal, elitist Hollywood crowd. ... But ever so gradually, they say, Bush's views have evolved.
