My experiment failed.
I got 3 good folks to write on behalf of a candidate.
I had hoped to get someone to write for each of the GOP candidates and was unsuccessful.
Oh well. I'll keep trying.
In Baseball, 3 for 7 would be outstanding.
In Science, one success out of 100 would be something to consider.
So, If you have a candidate that you are passionate about, email me under the My profile link, and I'll still publish.
If you see my links (picks) you'll see the order where I am leaning. Some realistic, some not.
Many folks who know me are surprised that a former Libertarian like myself am not a Ron Paul guy. I like him. But when it comes to the war declared on us by Wahhabist extremists, I part ways with him. Even Thomas Jefferson understood this severe threat to our Nation and our national interests. Why can't Ron Paul?
Too bad Fred dropped out, but that is how these things go.
I think that gk's assessment on the 5th of February is pretty accurate. I think we'll see several more drop out.
Dennis "the Flying Saucer Boy" Kucinich from Jackass, the Party dropped out. I think the only place that he would have garnered any support was the Soviet Socialists Republic of Bellingham anyway. It's the only place where anybody gives any credibility to impeaching Bush.
As a matter of fact, Bellingham has such little credibility, the Baby M's, the GIants Farm club has moved out of town and even the Bells have been sold. Bellingham is not even minor league, it is not even up to T-ball standards. Why, even Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O and Tony " the Birdman" Hawk won't come to shred at our local skatepark...
At least Lynden got noticed by Ted Nugent...

SAM TAYLOR'S GUESS...
...About me and my authors is NOT Correct.
On one of his previous comments to a comment on his blog, Sam made a claim that he guessed or suspected that I am several of my writers. However flattering that may be, it is in fact incorrect. However, I think that that young puppy is doing a good job balancing real reporting at the paper and trying to make a go with his blog. He may have and may well in the future make mistakes, but as Indian Aaron told me, the only men who don't make mistakes just sit around takin' bonghits and sucking on their own lollipops watchin' Looney Toons...
Now for my writers, and I'm telling my audience more than they need to know...
The real gk has served our country in several capacities longer than I have been alive. (according to my kids, I am an old fart.) I have had the pleasure of debating him and getting clobbered by him publicly on more than one occasion. I would be flattered to think that Sam T. or anybody would think that I could even come close to matching wits with this guy.
Roeder Peabody has an insight into Whatcom County that I could never fully understand as I am too lazy to research local issues as well as he does.
As for Q, she is quite some lady. Very involved from Whatcom County, to Olympia and even Washington D.C. Far better educated than I am.
Philemon Pormant, who I have dropped the ball with as he has written some incredible material, but I failed to publish in a timely manner, has set me straight on numerous occasions as to how to observe elections and political matters, and see details that I have a tendency to overlook.
No, I am not Wally. His perspectives and writing skills are far better developed than mine.
AFY!!!, now there is one smart businessman. If I was as smart at business as he is, My self employment would not have folded and I wouldn't be back working for someone else 40 to 60 hours a week, again...
Indian Aaron, a diehard biker who rides on days that scare me, is a real 220 (law enforcement term) or a real section 8 (military term) He is a maniac who could care less about politics. I just like his take on life in general. To sum up his view on life, the universe and everything, "as long as no one is shooting at us, everything is OK!" Trying to get him to write is next to impossible.
As this new year started, I found myself no longer running my own operations or working contract jobs but am back in the workforce, working four to six by ten hour shifts, depending on our production keeping up with the demand for our high quality natural resources. The machinery that I get to work on has tires taller than I am! I rediscovered muscles that were long forgotten. Now that my old decrepid body has slightly adjusted, I will be writing again. I am sure hoping that my authors can contribute so that I can take time to think about what I am writing.
The guys at work are reminding me about what is really important in life. These are not the guys who think about politics for politics sake, they work too long and too hard to be bothered with this stuff. They have a perspective that Republicans forget and the Democrats will mistakenly think they understand. Don't mess with their family, their job and definately don't mess with their recreation time.
By the way, they do understand that their paycheck and taxes belong to them and NOT the governer.

FEBRUARY FIFTH PRIMARIES
(Guest Writer: gk)
Several of my Ron Paul supporting friends have made sure that I get my fair share of favorable Ron Paul editorials - but being the "fair and balanced" guy that I am, here is another view extracted from one of my favorite websites/Patriot Post (which newsletter I subscribe to). You be the judge! Read and Learn.
IMHO, both Ron Paul, Rudy Giuliani & Huckabee are going to make or break in Florida - if these three can't poll well there, (at least 1st or 2nd) they are just about done - and if that doesn't do it, the 5 Feb primaries will certainly tell the story, where up to 20 states and 1/3 of Americans will be voting. Only the top two candidates will survive after 5 Feb. Florida will be Giuliani's first real test, he passed up all the other earlier state's primaries to concentrate his money/ads and campaigning time in Florida, where he has canvassed/crisscrossed the state for the past 60 days.
Ron Paul also needs to finish high in Florida (against Romney/McCain/Huckabee/Giuliani) to validate his polling data - which, when allowed to be skewed by his followers with call-ins, etc - shows unbelievably high percentages of support. Now lets see if these 40% or higher phone-in polls in other states, are supported in the same numbers at the Florida voting box, with actual voters/votes, which can't be skewed by Ron Paul supporter's phone-ins or emails. I'll eat my words if Ron Paul surprises me!
Bush was elected by the Floridians twice - the first time 2000, as recalled, in a real squeaker/recounts/court cases, etc. Whomever becomes the eventual Republican nominee, can't get elected President without being first or at least a strong second in total state voting numbers - in the 29 Jan Florida primary - I think - anyone being down in the teens % or single digits % in Florida is not going to hack it - for whomever is down there in the ground clutter and is an "also ran".
But that is where I think Ron Paul is going to be, and maybe even Huckabee.
I predict it will be Romney - 26 %, McCain 24% and Giuliani 20%, Huckabee in the high teens and Ron Paul in the low teens or even high single digits. Of course, all these numbers could be plus or minus 4%, and because the top three will be so close, their final percentages could put them in a different winning order. But for sure, Romney and McCain will be the top two, we'll see the final order- but I'm guessing Romney.
