Just epic.

[Psychic Octopus]

Awesome, that was the greatest speech I've ever heard.

[Meeker]

Turns out he lost the nomination

[memphis]

Reminds me of Glenn Beck.

[perdedor]

It seems like someone needs to start seriously considering masturbation.

I saw it on cable.

That was not the calm hands you want counting your money.

This guy is running in that empty rural county that is 90% Hispanic in Texas?  The guy needs to up his meds, get out of politics, and move to Plano, and become a real estate agent, and he will be much happier.

Close.  He was running in Stark County, Ohio; which has a population of 378,000.

I could have sworn he said "Starr."  I did not hear the "k" sound at all. Did you? Is my hearing that bad?  

Addendum: Hannity just ran a short clip of this guy and suggested that he get in professional wrestling. The guy has made himself famous!  Isn't youtube grand?

     If it's any consolation, I heard "Starr County" as well. I realized that he could not be referring to it, though, when he referred to the state of Ohio later on in the video. Then I actually read the details & noticed that he was in Stark County.

I only listened to about the first 20 seconds, which was more than enough for me, so I did not get to the Ohio bit.

Stark County, you say?

Doesn't Stark County usually vote Democrat too?

Doesn't Stark County usually vote Democrat too?

Only marginally. It was and is a high skilled trade town, and always supported the more conservative unions. Granted, as towns expand beyond county lines (rather glacially in this particular neck of the woods), that which remains within the county becomes more Dem typically, so the county in and of itself is more Dem now, than it was 20 years ago, all things being equal, but this year, probably about even I would guess (well having checked that Obama only carried it by about 5%, not so even this year - it is not in an Obama friendly zone at present, and most of the local blacks live down the road in another county, Summit (Akron) in any event).

Stark County was well-known as a bellwether county until 2004, the first time it had voted for a losing candidate for President since the 1950s, IIRC.
