A number of years ago, my school district was searching for a superintendent.  After a while, I read that a businessman had been in contention.  He dropped out, he said, when he realized that they were set to select an Hispanic. And he was not.  I was very perturbed.  It was bad enough that they were discriminating against a candidate based on his race, but I was also disappointed we would not be getting a businessman running our district.  We sure needed one.  We need one now.  We need someone who knows how to run a business.  We need someone who will prune and weed until we have an efficient education machine.  Instead we have had people who continue to bloat the administration.  People who take COLAs from the state and offer the teachers nothing.  At the very least we need someone who knows that schools are "profit centers" and every administrative office is a
"loss center."

This is one of the reasons why Romney would be a great president.  It is impossible to make Washington efficient.  But Romney's fortes (one of them) is trimming the fat out of bloated organizations to make them viable again.  And I can't think of anywhere more bloated than Washington.

Yes, Romney has flipped (he has never flopped). But I don't understand why it is bad to flip over to your side.  Some coaches say it doesn't make sense for a student to speak on both sides of a bill in student congress.  I always thought that, in addition to having strategic advantages, that it makes sense in the context of a congress.  What is the sense of having a debate if not to change minds.  Well, what if you were wrong and your mind was changed?  I joked that the students could begin their second speech by proclaiming, "I have seen the light!"  Well, Romney has seen the light.  And he flipped.  And he is now on the Right side.  I see nothing wrong with that.

McCain has flipped.  He was against Bush's tax cuts until he was for them.  His claim that to repeal them now would amount to a tax increase is disingenuous.  Tax payers aren't checking if the taxes are being increased or decreased.  They want to pay the least amount of tax.  Now.  The stimulus was needed at the time it was proposed and that we got it when we did is responsible for the Goldilocks  economy we enjoy (or enjoyed up until a few months ago).

Worse is his stand on immigration.  Now he sees that American's want enforcement first.  Of course, if he sees that American's want enforcement first that doesn't mean HE wants enforcement first.  I still can't see him putting true enforcement ahead of any kind of regularization.  I still don't see him giving us our damned fence.  I still don't see him putting security provisions that will really work.  I do see him putting people in high positions who owe allegiance to Mexico above the United States.

And this doesn't even cover other pecadillos such as McCain- Feingold, judges, etc. etc.  MSM likes McCain.  The Democrats like McCain.  They can elect him.  He has not been a loyal Republican.  Republicans want Republicans.

Let Republicans elect Republicans.

I don't understand the momentum thing.  What do you gain by voting for the winner if the guy you want is number two?  Vote for the guy you want.  Republicans should vote for Republicans.
