Why isn’t anyone sticking a fork in Birkett?
Topinka is up and probably will pull this out. Will the Republicans learn from a lesson from their strongest candidate? Or head into the abyss of social conservatism and Bill Simons?

Are politicians vane, vapid and power hungry? Sure. The wonder of democracy is that one can harness those traits to do your bidding. Or at least stop the bidding of the bigger idiot. While posting on a political blog is likely to be preaching to the choir, vote.

My feelings are hurt so I’m going to appoint my pal. Don’t get me wrong. The individual and his party that controls the Governors office have every right to appoint a member of their own party.
