Two items from today:

1) Santorum describes Romney as "the worst possible Republican" to run against Obama

2)Santorum suggests he'd be open to serving as Romney's running mate

Is it a total lack of self-consciousness, or garden-variety dumbassery?

Ricky got pretty prickly about this today - claimed, pleaded, insisted, scolded that all he was saying was Mitt's the worst possible Republican on the matter of healthcare.
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

Romney may be the worst possible Republican, but he's also the best possible Republican. It's like when I tell Lil' Vulture she's my favorite daughter.

To be fair to Santorum his explanation makes sense, or at least it's in line with the argument he has been making. Also he got to tell the New York Times' reporter that it was bullshit and they were misinterpreting his remarks, which is always fun.

My afternoon has just been thrown for a loop as I realize the FEC changed the formatting on their main page. I no longer know where anything is. The old page may have sucked, but I was used to it.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn was charged in France with "aggravated pimping" for alleged role in prostitution ring.


How about that

So it looks like the SC will take the PPACA case this year. If I had to bet I'd put it on upholding...5-4 or 6-3. I could see Roberts joining the liberals. Thomas, Alito and Scalia are almost definite to strike it down, Roberts and Kennedy swing and everyone else probably upholding.

I've read speculation that Roberts would be reluctant to be the decicing vote to uphold the law, but if there were already 5 votes, he would join. So 6-3 to uphold or otherwise it'll be 5-4 striking it down. It all depends on Kennedy again.

Yeah, I could see that too. Plus, I think he'd want to write the opinion if Kennedy votes to uphold.

Take it to the health reform thread.

After I tell you that there is no way this case comes to a 5-4 decision either way. You heard it here first.

And incidentally here's the results of a kinda sorta interesting poll of former Sup Ct clerks' views of the outcome of the PPACA cases. Their general view is the odds are good the law will be upheld.

In its entirety.
