I tried to create a third diary but am limited to only two a day. So I am going to update this one and hopefully that will work.
I voted in your poll for all day because that’s the way it’s looking, isn’t it? 🙂
I was curious.
that Tebow posts here.
What’s this about Tebow?
as Tebow is Denver’s Mile High Messiah.
If Tim Tebow wins us a Superbowl I’ll start going to church regularly again. That way 1) Denver becomes an NFL juggernaut again, like the old days, and 2) another soul is saved from eternal damnation. It’s a win-win.
I didn’t get it because I know a fair number of folks who aren’t, to be polite, sold on Tebow yet…
Who the hell is Tebow?
pis . . er, whiling . . . away your Sundays on the Broncos or church?
Now that’s what I call win-win.
I still love the Denver Broncos with a passion. Been a tough few years.
Doh
Good one.
Doing the same thing over and over and expenting diofferent results.
The GOP’s election of a chair puzzles me in that after each round they do not eliminate any canddiates. Therefore they keep voting for the same 5 people, none of which are anywhere close to the majority to win. I guess the expectation is that poeple doing poorly will eventually withdrawl, but by then, you have wasted half the day.
One thing i do envy the GOP for: when the chair of the meeting tells them to sit down, they actually do it. That would NEVER happen at a Dem meeting.
I was wondering if/when candidates would start dropping off.
As the rounds continue, we get to the good stuff, when the lobbying skills, arm twisting and down right hair pulling happens as the front runners try and maintain and increase their leads by getting votes from other candidates.
are predincting the first drop out before round 4 adn it may be Steele
with Ann Wagner right now. I think Cino is also going to drop out here shortly. He’s steadily dropping. If Wagner pulls Steele’s votes, it would put her ahead of Priebus.
If she could pull all of them or just a portion.
Wow, even with all of his current votes and hers she would still only be at 65, 20 short of the total needed.
So far, all five are in so this round should be interesting.

168 eligible voters. Talk about a small pool to decide who becomes the next Chair.

I hate Dickens and would rather be waterboarded than wade through one of his books.
Something tells me he’s read neither. Given his gaffe.
and I’m not about to. I read Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” and that is enough Tolstoy to last me a lifetime.
Where’s the “spoiler alert” warning?!?! 😛
I was hoping someone would post the crib notes and save me a thousand page read.
Part of an online discussion group. Ought to be interesting.
Your statement reminded me of a Russian prof I had in college. LOVED Dostoevsky, HATED Tolstoy. He made it sound like all Russia was divided into armed camps on the topic, and the only thing keeping them from going at each other’s throats was that they all agreed that Pushkin was the greatest Russian poet of all time…
I enjoyed Anna Karenina, though. I just find Tolstoy’s takes too long to get to the point. In all fairness, a bad translation can ruin that book so if you found a version with a good one, it’s an enjoyable read. There’s a husband and wife team, I can’t think of their names, that are excellent and just translated Karenina about 10 years ago. She’s Russian, he’s American and they are outstanding.
Yes, I’m reading their War and Peace. So far, so good.
Then I read “Tale of Two Cities,” which hooked me. I loved that book.
Then I started “Great Expectations” and have never read Dickens again. But I still have fond memories of TTC.

One write in candidate–not eligible.
Does Priebus need 50%?
I guess you aren’t MHM’s sockpuppet. Good to know.
has the latest tweets from the floor. My favorite so far: Steele, as he’s ending his withdrawal announcement, says, “and now I exit stage right” – and promptly exits stage left.
Steele has endorsed Maria Cino, John Boehner’s pick, but the twitter traffic is heavily against her because she lobbied for federal health care reform.
Priebus 67
Cino 40,
Anuzis 32,
Wagner 28
Anuzis, btw, was Dick Wadhams’ pick for chair.
And Steele’s endorsement didn’t translate into huge vote uptick for Cino – she had 29 in the last round and had she gotten all of Steele’s, she’d be in the upper 50s.
Cino only picked up 11 of Steele’s votes. I’ve gotta figure some of those folks were only sticking with her for 1 round and hopefully Wagner will drop out.
Wagner just dropped out so hopefully the 7th round will be the last one. Priebus only needs to pick up 5 votes and I’m guessing those will come from Wagner’s block.
Bummer. I was sort of hoping for Wagner for a variety of reasons.
when Steele was giving his concession speech and people started cheering, I just imagined him thinking to himself, “sit down you jackasses! You’ll cheer for me but not vote for me?!?! Flippin’ bastards!” 😛
He needs 5 votes and these poor people can finally go home.
They then had to elect the vice-chair…or maybe it was second chair, I forget the official title!
…I keep thinking he’s an instructor at Hogwarts. Didn’t he teach Harry Potter how to ride a broom?
Perhaps next time they should send up smoke signals rather than sending Tweets.
Take out the vowels in Reince Priebus’ name and you get “RNC PR BS.”
with the vowels?

I didn’t recognize it as Greek name either!
Although it goes to show the difference between politics and football that even a winning season can get you bounced in politics.
The replacement, Reince Priebus, is more interesting as this shows where the GOP is headed as a party. He’s been described as an “establishment” pick to replace Steele, although who knows what the establishment is these days.
Kaine, Reid, and Pelosi all got their asses kicked, and they keep their positions. Weird.
But the establishment has moved several blocks to the right since the last time we visited.
