On the trail

Zow. Stephens Media has already packed Aaron Sadler off to Iowa to observe Mike Huckabee's first campaign stop. Going to be a long two years.

Comments

Do you seriously think his campaign will last two years? How about two months at the most. After His Huffinees throws his first temper tantrum in front of the national media, it will be adios amigo!

Is Huckabee and the Missus now getting Secret Service protection?? If so, I'm sure he's relishing the trappings of power and still being on the public dole.

>Going to be a long two years.<

Well, you know how to feed us malcontents. Or, are you being optimistic?

Oh Lordie. Two years. I hope that groundhog vacates his burrow. I need some place to go to ground.

Although just incidently, if Mikey could show me a bare bones required health insurance policy, similar to required auto liability insurance pools, that anyone could afford -- maybe employing sliding scale rates based on income, even I might sit up and listen.
That idea is second best to single payer in my opinion, but I would listen. But that ain't gonna happen, so thankfully, my virtue is safe.

>That idea is second best to single payer in my opinion<

Do-I , single payer is going to happen but not while people occupy high office who hear voices in their heads telling them to squander the national treasury on electional, fictionalized enemies for the sake of a fuel that is killing us off pretty damn fast.

Of course the MD lobby will be strong against it seeking to preserve their average incomes of
$650K while Big Pharma will kill to keep the right to sell life or death in their hands. We're the last industrialized nation without nationalized health care yet we spent more per capita on health care than any other nation.

Mark Leverett, a candidate for Little Rock district court, is off to a slightly rocky start on his campaign for the bench. He's apparently already run afoul of the Code of Judicial Conduct, which prohibits judges or judicial candidates from making a contribution to or endorsing a political party or candidate. /more/
