"Someone who's been there for many, many years talking about the same issues in the same way is what a lot of folks, a lot of conservatives, are looking for."

Totally agree.

"His back-to-better-days campaign slogan: 'Fighting to make America America again.'"

Ok, but I preferred the earlier draft, "Kick out Mexicans and gays."

I'm not sure if you caught it when the story broke (about 2 months ago I'd like to say), but there was some chatter in the media when the Santorum campaign unveiled their campaign slogan: "Fighting to make America America again." It bears a striking resemblance to a poem by Langston Hughes (http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15609). When asked about it, Santorum turned pale and insisted he had nothing to do with that decision.

Hey James,

I hadn't heard about that poem. That is really striking. Thanks very much for sharing that with me.
