The excitement builds

Santorum pretty handily took Kansas, but Romney got Wyoming, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

Just... riveting.

Delegate totals so far (You need 1144 to clinch the nomination.):

Romney: 454
Santorum: 217
Gingrich: 107
Paul: 47

(and there's a few undecided delegates from states that have already had their primaries)

Romney's got a decent lead, but it's not by so much that it's a walk in the park, which means the upcoming southern state primaries are actually important for a change.

.... because we obviously were low on problems there.

Oh goodie, a U.S. soldier lost his shit and opened fire on Afghan civilians.

10 reported dead, 5 wounded.

Edit: Updated death toll - 16 reported dead, 9 wounded

Yeah, the situation over there wasn't unstable enough without this.

Honestly, he's right

Lindsey Graham, R-SC says that the GOP Nomination is Romney's 'to lose'.

I have to think he's buttering up to Romney, maybe hoping for a chance at being the Vice President candidate. I don't see that happening for Graham, though.

1) There's the ongoing, persistent rumours that Graham is gay. Yes, he's denied it, but the rumours are still there. Given how right-wing the Republican party is getting, they're not going to even consider Graham as a VP choice.

2) South Carolina is a red state. It's not going to Obama in the 2012 Presidential election, regardless of who the Republicans have on their ticket, so having Graham as the VP choice brings nothing to the table.

The end of an era

The U.S.S. Enterprise is on it's final voyage.

And after it's decommissioned, it's not going to be turned into a museum. Because it would cost too much to repair it after removing the nuclear fuel from its' six reactors. *sigh*

heh
