You can hate gays as much as you want and still get elected most of the time. The biggest problem with Santorum is his intensity on far right issues. He just relishes being in the thick of culture war battles. I think this will frighten many people. It's one of the reasons Pat Buchanan never got any traction.

That cracks me up. I guess those were protest votes. I wonder how Cain would be doing if he hadn't dropped out. I don't know a lot about Missouri Republicans (the one I probably read most on recently was the disastrous lt. governor, Kinder) but there don't seem to be as many ugly national headlines about their bigoted ideas and laws, as you hear again and again from Republicans in Minnesota, Arizona, Virginia, etc. I get so tired of hearing about how it's jobs and the focus will be on jobs. It's ALWAYS about the culture war. Just look at the virulent social engineering of the last two years, when supposedly that wasn't going to matter. And now we get nothing but obsession over birth control or abortion. We're moving towards the point where birth control will be treated as some disgusted perversion for whores.

Dawn Wells is a little random.

It's a shame her SB run never seemed to work out. You'd think she would have been suited to that show.

I have an ad of that time which asks for a Jean le Clerc lookalike contest, and how you can win a lunch with him if you know someone who looks like him. They included a photo of Jean as Jeremy (looking normal), and Gilbert (looking "mean"). It was just so awful. I'd love to know who won that. Maybe if Michael Logan had shaved his mustache and put on bulky clothes.

I just read a comment saying "Man on dog beats dog on man's roof." Anyway, the most entertaining part of this night for me was that the old media favorite "T-Paw", breathlessly hyped by some in the press as the true "Sam's Club conservative" (whatever that means), totally failed to deliver Minnesota for Romney. He got Romney third. I guess "T-Paw" will still laugh all the way to the bank, but it doesn't say much for his popularity in the state.

I think that was partially down to AMC wanting Julia. Of course OLTL cast Jackie as Lana only a year or so later, so clearly someone there had an eye on her.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0212/72583.html Colorado, Minnesota, and Missouri voted tonight. These are beauty contests, with no delegates. Santorum won all three. Missouri was always tipped for him, but Minnesota and especially Colorado were seen as more of surprises. Minnesota, home of Michelle Bachmann and Tim Pawlenty, is no real surprise to me (here's a heartbreaking example of the effects of far right hatred in Bachmann's district - http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/one-towns-war-on-gay-teens-20120202 ). Colorado is a surprise, as it has a fairly strong Mormon population and Romney had spent time there. This basically just reaffirms that many GOP voters do not like Romney and will support him when they have to, but are sending him a message now.

Debra was so dull. I am still surprised the show washed their hands of her relatively quickly - I think they could have done a story where she went bad. As for Grace, I think I've only ever seen her one other time, when Ben and Rachel bypassed her to get into her office during the superflu story. Was she in the hospital rape story too?

Tom Fuccello said he was offered the role of Jack Finelli on Ryan's Hope, but turned it down because the pay wasn't good enough. Jackie Zeman tested for the role of Reenie Szabo, and was close to being offered a three-year contract, when they told her they'd found someone else (Julia Barr).

Florida Republicans are trying to ban people on food stamps from being able to buy cookies, soda, or candy (even if it's for a child's birthday). http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/02/florida-gop-to-food-stamp-recipients-no-sweets-for-you.php?ref=fpb I get the idea behind this. The problem is the Republicans spent 2011 berating Michelle Obama for trying to teach kids about healthy eating. They said this was socialism, that she was trying to force her views on people. Is it OK to do this if it involves those who are lowest in the caste system?

I'm not too surprised about the affair, I'm mostly surprised the person waited so long to speak up - I'd think she would have made a goldmine during the Lewinsky years.

There's a lot of Mary Kay Adams material on this channel, GL-related, a lot of the Andy Ferris murder aftermath.
