    It really sucks that Michelle Obama ruined those school lunches that were so awesome when I was a kid.

    • I'm voting for Romney whether he runs or not.
      "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

          And I am suddenly, 100% all in again. Can someone please tell me what the political issues of the day are?

          Looks like Obamacare, Keystone Pipeline, and Islamic extremism. So you may already be up to speed.

            • I'm a big Romney fan, and would support him 100% if he got in again, but I don't see the logic in him making a run in 2016. I'm not even sure he would win the nomination. He's clearly not a dumb guy and has to see that, which makes me wonder if all this noise he is making isn't for another purpose. Maybe he is playing the role of stalking horse for another like-minded candidate in order to keep Bush from locking down the establishment base too quickly. Perhaps he is saving a spot for a Ryan or a Rubio and taking the scrutiny of the media off of them for a while so they can set up a campaign.

                So will the republican ticket be Rmoney-Bush or Bush-Rmoney?

                  When another Bush and Huckabee are running, the rule against uninspiring has-beens running for president clearly isn't getting around. Nobody likes the current lineup and a solid network still thinks he's the best guy for the job. Of course he'd want to float the idea of making another go at it.

                      Right now it is looking more like a Rmoney-Bush ticket...

                      Romney tops 2016 GOP candidates in new poll

                      Mitt Romney polls two points ahead of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in Zogby’s latest poll on the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.


                      Romney, the 2012 GOP standard-bearer who some believe would be the party’s best candidate in 2016, gets 14 percent in the new poll released late Wednesday.

                      Of course, it may not matter if Clinton runs...

                      The poll also suggests all of the Republicans would trail Hillary Clinton is she chooses to run for the White House.


                      It found Clinton leading all of the top tier GOP candidates by wide margins. She wins 49 percent support compared to 34 percent for Bush; 51 percent compared to 33 percent for Paul; 48 percent compared to 33 percent for Christie and 50 percent compared to 35 percent for Romney.


                      The Zogby poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus six points.

                        Man Who Got Romney Logo Tattooed On Face Won't Support 2016 Bid

                        [ATTACH=CONFIG]5417[/ATTACH]

                        Eric Hartsburg became a pioneer in the realm of presidential nominee promotions when he got the logo for Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign emblazoned on his face.


                        However, the Indiana man with a now-faded tattoo said he would not support Romney in 2016 and was in the process of removing the tattoo, BuzzFeed News reported on Tuesday.


                        “He’s going to say something later on to mess it up,” Hartsburg said of Romney. “You are waiting for him to shoot himself in the foot. It’s going to look real good and then — bam something else — he screws it up."

                            Are you speaking about Mitt's campaign team for the past two elections or the tattoo head guy?

                              • NYT sez that Jeb is coming to Utah on Friday to meet with Mitt.
