I wish that all the Republican candidates would do a Top Chef-style pancake elimination challenge. While I wait for that to happen, I'm looking at some of the country's coolest pancake places.
One listener to my radio show told me that when he voted, he was the sole person at the voting booth, but counted 38 other workers at the station. Most are volunteer, but some are paid to be there.
The fact that Santorum got as far as he did should give pause, certainly to the GOP establishment moving forward, but really to all of us. He is perhaps the most extreme anti-gay, anti-choice candidate to get as far as he did.
Why would a potential president of the United States want Americans to be less educated?
I'm going to be honest, here. I'm just as bored with the Republican nomination race as everyone else is by now. The mainstream media pundits have done a mighty job of trying to keep the excitement alive, but it's just not working anymore.
Santorum's near-miss White House run is an indication of precisely what happens and who happens when we let our political discourse get to the point it's now at, awash in apocalyptic, end-times metaphors and doomsaying prognostications about the other side.
At a moment in history when this nation needs to find common ground and unifying solutions to the multitude of challenges before us, Rick Santorum and the Republican right are leading this country into a fractured and turbulent political horizon.
If Santorum can stage a miraculous comeback and win Wisconsin, it will completely undermine the narrative that Romney's consolidating his control over the race.

Santorum went on to say, "Friends don't let friends use pink bowling balls," at once bullying the kid, teaching him how to be a bully, too, and sending a strong message to all other boys who might choose a pink bowling ball.
The Republican Party's plan of creating a more competitive race by awarding proportional delegates is simply not working, at least between the two frontrunners. If none of the Republican state contests were proportional, Rick Santorum would be a lot closer to Mitt Romney right now.
This year I've crisscrossed the country with the help of Participant Media's TakePart.com to find out what the GOP presidential candidates think about moving Election Day to the weekend.
For the umpteenth time and counting, pundits and politicians -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- are predicting Mitt Romney's "inevitability" as the...
So, even with the cards stacked against him, what could potentially reverse Santorum's fate? And, how likely (or unlikely) are these game-changing events to happen?
