So today is the GOP Presidential straw poll in Ames, Iowa. So much ink spilled on such a silly event. But we cats are loving it just the same, because the Republican race is still a mess and getting messier.
While we don't know what the results of the straw poll will be, but we can definitely tell you what would make us PURR:
First Place — Ron Paul, because it would screw things up even more.
Second Place — Michele Bachmann. Not good enough to give her more momentum or bad enough to dump her, but enough to keep her in. Which is a good thing (we can use the laughs).
Third Place — Mitt "Corporations Are People" Romney, weakly. It won't matter to him and his $264 million fortune anyway.
Fourth Place — Rick Santorum, in a surprise. A payoff from his go-where-no-other-candidate-has-gone-before rural strategy. (See above, "laughs we can use.")
Fifth Place — Tim Pawlenty, because he's a pathetic fool and we cats are sick of him. It would be no great loss if he dropped out, because there are plenty of other whackjobs in the race and he's not sucking any big money away from other candidates as it is. Go home, Tim.
Back tomorrow with commentary on what actually happened.
