me too... Neither Romney nor Cain carry enough republican votes to run the ghetto rat out of the oval office. That being said, Gingrich has lots of baggage to overcome, even tho' he's the best candidate in the field.
17 hours ago – Cynthia Lummis has endorsed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, saying the former governor of Massachusetts is the best person ...
I assume there chosing the one they think has the best chance to beat obama.
The one who straddles the most fences - apeases the most ppl?
2 faced is good( like bobo?) ?- 4 is even better then?

Tragedies
In early 1856, Mormon converts began their long trek from England to Zion. They made their journey by ship, train, wagon and, finally, pushed handcarts west across the plains. The Martin and Willie Companies left Iowa City late in the season, too late to safely make the crossing. The Martin Company, unable to afford the toll at Reshaw’s Bridge, chose to ford the North Platte in bitterly cold weather. The next day, October 19th, a blizzard dropped between 12 and 18 inches of snow. The temperatures dropped well below zero. Before the Martin Company had traveled eight miles beyond the Platte, 56 of their members had died. The Willie Company, farther west, had also become trapped by the storm.
When Brigham Young learned, in early October, that the parties were still out on the trail, he sent rescue parties east from Salt Lake City to assist them. By the time these rescuers reached the Martin Party, they were spread out over 60 miles of trail from Red Buttes to Martin’s Cove.
With the assistance of the rescuers, the Martin Company took refuge in a sheltered pocket on the south side of the Sweetwater Mountains, now known as Martin’s Cove. Nearly one-fourth of the 576 members of the Martin Company died before the company finally arrived in Salt Lake City on November 30, 1856. Directions
Natrona County, Wyoming. T29N/R87W
The entrance to the Mormon Handcart Visitors’ Center is located on the north side of State Route 220, slightly west of the BLM Devil’s Gate overlook

Recent polls give us some hope.
Before the Martin Company had traveled eight miles beyond the Platte, 56 of their members had died. The Willie Company, farther west, had also become trapped by the storm.
