Just read this on Balloon Juice, a conservative blog, from it’s primary author:

I had intended to register independent, but when I got there to do it, I had a moment of clarity- there seemed to be no point leaving the Republican party in protest and joining the unwashed masses. If I really was going to protest, it made no sense to not commit to the opposition party. Besides, as a Republican all these years, I never had any problem voting for libertarians, Democrats, etc., I don’t see why being a Democrat will change anything. And, the 2008 election really is the most important election of my lifetime- the basic foundation of our country has been under assault for a while, now, and I want to vote in the Democratic primary as a Democrat, not as someone with no party affiliation. I want to send a message, and as small as this gesture (which should appropriately be interpreted as a middle finger to the GOP and not as a sloppy wet kiss to Nancy Pelosi) is, I want it to mean as much as possible. There is now one less Republican in WV, and one more Democrat.

It makes me happy to see that people recognize where we’re at in the country right now. Change is critical, and a restoration of the rule of law paramount. I was pleasantly surprised he’s leaning Dodd right now. Each new person hopefully will shift those poll numbers, and there’s still time to get those numbers up.

Of course, I did like how he ended the post:

Now send me my check from Soros and the 40 virgins.

Wait, there’s a check??

if you had a FatMixx.com email address, or an alias set up, they’re going to stop working. Last night I moved all of the email for sujal.net, fatmixx.com, and the other major domains I own to Google Apps. If you still want the alias or the box, let me know and I’ll hook you up.

So, yesterday, I break the switch on the mic from my XBox 360 so I can’t talk. Today, a nice, 1-pixel wide, vertical blue line shows up on my 1+ year old Samsung LCD TV. Everything online says it’s a hardware issue, so I’m looking at warranty service and no TV for some time. Joy.

And the DirecTV guys are supposed to come on Friday. Wonder if there will be a TV here when they show up?

Anyway, I have no point… just whining. Carry on.

He’s consistent on this and it’s clear that he cares. This is the most consistent, least triangulated candidate in the race.

I think this says it best:

There is precedent for all this. And in Giuliani’s case, the threat has the added benefit of being true. You don’t need to make anything up, invent any scandals, concoct any problems. You just have to honestly evaluate the words coming out of Giuliani’s mouth, the rhetoric coming out of his campaign, and the advisers circling the candidate. It’s all there. There’s no blowjob, I know, but there’s a real threat, and the media should, in its role as guardian of some minimal level of competency within the political process, be pointing out that this man is dangerous, his statements scary, his campaign unsettling, and his advisers insane. His is not a normal candidacy, and so long as the reporters continue treating it as the equivalent of Hillary Clinton’s campaign rather than Pat Buchanan’s, we’re in trouble.

Giuliani will destroy this country. I tempered my words in my post on the subject, but that’s my honest sense of the situation. I don’t believe we can handle more wars and more autocracy from the White House.

I’m sure many of you have seen this highlight but in case you missed it, this desperation play was unbelievable.
