The first contest of the 2016 presidential race is only (!) a year away, and like most Americans, I’ve been following the start of what promises to be a verrrry long political season with a mixture of anticipation and dread..
Our process is just so exhausting.
In addition to actually doing our civic duty--informing ourselves about the issues and the candidates--we have to expend a ridiculous amount of time evaluating each and every gaffe and controversy, deciding whether a) it's real or ginned up; b) whether we have the energy to take our outrage to the next level; and c) how many Facebook friends we are willing to lose in the process.
The campaign drags on for so long that I have come to appreciate, perhaps far more than I should admit, the entertainment value of the underdogs who jump in and keep swimming, even when it becomes clear they will drown (metaphorically) long before they reach the other shore....

I would vote for her.
I would NOT vote for Jeb, Mitt, or any other RINO.
Period.
Marry me, Sarah. I’d make a terrific First Gentleman.
RUN, SARAH! RUN!!!
Back off there Jocko! I seen ‘er FIRST!
Not sure how her husband Todd would feel about you two vying to win her hand in marriage...
Dear Robin,
We have had 7 years of 57 states, beer summits, golf games, and million dollar getaways to Hawaii or the Hamptons.
You are correct. We need a real adult in the White House.
Hope she runs.
Real adults; mature, genuine, selfless... Yeah, that’s Sarah P.
I’d love to see Sarah run. If she doesn’t, I’d like to see Gov. Susana Martinez (NM) run. Conservative, Latina, female; why not?
Today’s WSJ reports Hillary’s numbers in Iowa looking worse than 2008 when she finished 3rd.
Looks like a land rush for the R nomination.
I saw one list with 23 viable candidates.
Do you really think Palin will run for POTUS?
Well, when I was over at her house last week she made no mention of it, but I’ll ask her at her Fiesta next Saturday.
No
What Fiesta?
I for one do hope she runs in 2016.
