A New Hampshire Yawner

Well, I have to admit it, but Tuesday night was a real snooze fest, and it wasn't just the voting. Romney won, Paul got his low 20% of the vote, the guy who had been in the state the longest did well, and true social conservatives didn't do well. Ho-hum. But on top of that, the speeches for the most part went over like a lead baloon. Romney had the best speech, but all he said was the litany of faults the Tea Party finds in Obama: Nothing the President does is right, we want government out of our wallet and in the bedroom, the military machine is sancrosanc over people, and if we want to bully people around the world, well, by the Christian God, we'll do it. Paul said that the government is evil and needs to be disbanded to ensure American liberties. Huntsman proved what anyone who's watched politics for more than 15 minutes: You may not want to, but don't ad-lib, go off the cuff. Use a tele-prompter. Santorum and Gingrich reminded everyone why they really aren't liked by mainstream Americans: Put the 2 together, and you have someone who believes in Faith above laws and their own superiority of everyone else. Taken apart, you 2 people that both feel that way. Yes, it was all a yawner, which made the job MSNBC did even more remarkable.
