May I Direct Your Attention to Ring Number Two!

By gregladen on January 4, 2012.

... of my bloggy three-ring circus.

Over the years, I've blogged quite a bit about election politics, with increasing attention paid at appropriate times, including the Minnesota Recount (winner: Al Franken!) and other timely issues. As of last night, the 2012 election season is officially up and running, and for general election commentary, I'll be blogging mainly at The X Blog, and I just wanted to draw your attention to that. For example, we have what I said before the Iowa Caucuses (The Meaning and Significance of Tonight's Iowa Caucuses) and what I said after the Iowa Caucuses (Bachmann Moves Ahead "Full Steam" after Iowa Victory ...)

This does not mean that there will not be election related blogging here. After all, the current "front runner" for the Republican Party seems to be Rick Santorum, and he may be the most denialist of the denialists with respect to Anthropogenic Global Warming in the race. So we will be addressing that and other issues here, of course.

Who Will Win The Iowa Caucus?
The answer: One Republican and One Democrat/Independent. The Iowa Caucus is pretty much up for grabs in both parties. Over recent days, a clear Trump lead has been erased, and Cruz is now ahead in recent polls. Over roughly the same period, a clear Clinton lead has been erased, and Sanders is…
Further thoughts on the recount
Think back to Florida eight years ago. There is a reasonable argument that Al Gore was duly voted, even via the electoral college, to be President of the United States, but George W. Bush was placed in that office for one and only one reason: The recount process in Florida was transformed into a…
