In a report from Gwen IFill last week, Dan Balz mentioned cleverly how the tiebreaker between Republican choices would narrow and be decided by the results of the Iowa Caucus, identifying the strongest candidate for the front runner position among Republicans. The round table with John Dickerson tied in and made me focus on how the Democratic Party will benefit form the divide between the Republican Party Candidates.

A single serving of it's all about me, keeps my plate pretty full these days. Yes, I'm the center of my own world, a gift of God's creation, all for me. Too funny for me to laugh alone, so I give in only to tell you that some of you really have that type of mentality.

Noses in the air, and still can't get any attention? You m... Continue reading ...
