Today’s caucuses will award 36 pledged delegates to the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.

Go Huckabee!
The Republicans should not nominate an old man who once dropped napalm on Vietnam.

Dennis,
Because of the cold weather, for some stupid reason I decided to waste some time Sunday reading you pathetic “newspaper.”
If you get a chance, you may want to inform your really sharp management staff that there are also Republicans involved in the upcoming presidential election.
I wonder why you readership is down?

Now you are moderating my comments. I despise everything about your pathetic “newspaper.” It seems as if I’m not the only one. You will fold, and be re-structured very soon.
You should have listened to your past readers.
Dennis,
Take any buyout you can. You really have no talent.
Politically connected?
You haven’t posted a new topic since the 9th.
I think it’s pretty obvious why the Dem’s are getting more political coverage, there’s actually a race. With McCain virtually sewing up the Republican nomination, what’s there to write about? Some of you far-right wingers really don’t have a clue…
Oh. My mistake. I’m sure when the dems pick a candidate, things will even out at the Strib.
