January 4, 2012--Late Night

I stayed up, for me, very late riveted to the TV while the Iowa tallies trickled in. I'm pooped but will have more to say about the results this week.

But hasn't this been a remarkable political story? More entertaining than the Kardashians.

Only one thing is certain: Republican voters do not want Mitt Romney to be their nominee. He may still win, but they sure have been eager to find someone else. No matter how preposterous. Donald Trump? Herman Cain? Michele Bachmann, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich. They all, for at least a week of their own, have been in the lead in the polls. And now, if he had received 9 more votes, it would be Rick Santorum? But he still was the story last night. At least that will be what the media say. Actually, the real winner was Barack Obama.

I'm going back to bed.
