The 3rd quarter fund raising numbers are starting to trickle in. Supposedly, Mitt Romney raised about $10 million while McCain only raised around $5 million.

12) Jeff Sessions: I love his conservatism and willingness to fight the good fight on issues like illegal immigration. 11) Duncan Hunter (I worked as a consultant for him): He’s very conservative, tough on illegal immigration, and a real leader in Congress.

This week-end, I caught 3:10 to Yuma, the new Western starring Russell Crowe. How was it? There wasn’t quite enough action and the very end of the movie (Let me speak in code here so as not to spoil the movie for people who haven’t seen it), after you-know-who has you-know-what done to him by […]
