I'm really waiting to find out which of the various idiots in the running will end up with the Republican nomination. Now I don't think that all Republicans are idiots. Tom Trail is a gem. I even liked the first Bush (and still don't see much of a difference between him, Clinton, and Obama -- centrists one and all, as far as I can tell). But will someone please explain to me why Republicans have so many idiots running for president and why they can't seem to nominate someone who is not an idiot.<br>
<br>Actually, I like Romney, as well, but it appears that most Republicans favor idiots over Mormons, as our recent state candidates suggest.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 8:14 PM, Tom Hansen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:thansen@moscow.com">thansen@moscow.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
