I remember being incredibly shocked at what Meg Whitman put into her campaign,

Far easier to elect a black because most of the country was over this
racial thing. I'm not rah-rah on Obama. He had his chance and he blew
it. If the rest of the country goes right wing I hope California
secedes. The rest of the country likes to elect millionaires and here
we let them run in the primaries and trash them in the final election.
Oligarchs are not popular in California. Just ask Meg Whitman and Carly
Fiorina.

>> America faces exceptional challenges. Mitt Romney is an exceptional man

>> Like any family, the Romneys have faced hardship: Ann was diagnosed

>> devotion to her for helping her through these ordeals.

>> When Mitt was elected Governor of Massachusetts in 2002, the state was

>> control. He restructured and consolidated government programs, paring
>> back where necessary and finding efficiencies throughout.
>> Facing a state legislature dominated by Democrats, Mitt cast more than
>> 800 vetoes as he brought conservative principles to state government.
>> He cut red tape for small businesses, signed into law job-creating

>> provided an essential backdrop for economic recovery. When Mitt came
>> into office, the state was losing jobs every month. When he left
>> office, the economy was generating new jobs by the thousands.
>> In 1999, the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics was on the verge of
