If you two would stop fiddling around and file your damn paperwork maybe you'd (eventually) get a letter in the mail with the appropriate voting information. I've heard it's a good feeling when you finally get that letter.
News: I voted for Ron Paul today, tomorrow.

News on what?
By some people's math, Romney pretty much has the nomination in the bag. His delegate count is now high enough that, even if he finished second or third in the remaining contests, he should still have enough to pass the post. Furthermore, although he barely won Ohio, which is regularly a bellweather for the political atmosphere of the US, it wasn't by enough to entirely be considered a win... Particularly when he spent nearly ten times that of Santorum to win by only 1%. That is not a good sign for his camp.
We now have Santorum looking to get Gingrich out of the race, as those votes would most-likely head into his camp, and may cause him to top Romney with the last few events that are left. Santorum will be looking to gobble up as many delegates as possible, and with so many of the remaining contests being in Southern and highly Conservative states in the Mid-West, he stands a good chance of marching through with some success.
The way I see it, we're going to have a brokered convention. There won't be a clear winner until the party brass decides on one. The Republicans are destined for a blow-out come election day, and they know it. But, until people realize that the President has little actual effect on day-to-day issues and eventually choose to un-seat their representatives in the House and Senate... Not much is going to change.
That, and it seems like war with Iran is becoming to be an inevitability. An inexcusable inevitability.

Yeah I noticed that as well, this is a sick new way to go to war with people. We build it up to a point where people actually begin to fear and thus find war something needed. It doesn't help that Israel think we should be at war with them, then again Israel has always been one to have us fight wars for them when wanted.
I don't like where the train is headed, I though it was bad back then but not knowing seems to be far worse at times.

The race for the GOP nomination looks likely to go all the way, since although Romney has a clear lead, so far he has been unable to vanquish his opponents. Ron Paul is currently trailing the other candidates, but it is likely that his delegate count will eventually be quite alot higher than what you will probably find in the media at the moment. Gingrich still commands alot of support, but he's arguably out of the running - but it remains to be seen who Gingrich might endorse in the event of him dropping out of the race. Santorum remains strong enough to ensure that Romney will have a fight on his hands for some time to come.
Romney's biggest enemy, however, is infact none of the above - it is a Republican politician who seems to hold completely opposing views to Romney, but is uncannily similar in terms of style, charisma, experience and political history. Confusingly, he's also called Mitt Romney.
