No need, most of them are on Lake Lanier. They have a natural swimming pool in their backyards.

What's funny is that the lake levels have been sucky ever since the big drought of '08, so half of the private docks weren't long enough and ended up beached. Boats were abandoned at the side of the road. People still had their half a million dollar* lake homes, but there was a lot less of an actual lake to match.

(*These would be million dollar lake homes in other states, but this is GA. Housing prices outside of Atlanta are always half of what they are in other states, even affluent areas.)

Short short, and 150ish feet. Artificial lake reservoir, and all. The drought brought the lake 15 feet below normal level at its worst.

Romney isn't the kind of candidate to run without funds. He relies too much on organizational efficiency, and not making horrible **** ups, rather than inspired rhetoric.

I don't doubt he could pack it in for post election favors, but there is the assumption of victory needed to tap that well. It's not happening before the primary is locked up.

The ads write themselves:

If there's any economic team I want running the show, it's the one that led us directly into the 2008 crash and recession.

Tomorrow is AZ and MI primaries. Romney is, to the surprise of no one, expected to do very well in Arizona where Santorum hasn't put my effort at all since it's winner-takes-all and no prize for second place.

Michigan may be a nail-biter. After Santorum held a hefty lead, Romney retook it and then seems to have backslid a bit (or Santorum re-surged). The latest round of polls read like a lesson in "margin of error":
PPP: Romney +2
Mitchell Research: Santorum +2
ARG: Santorum +1
Rasmussen: Romney +2

"We Ask America" has Romney up by four which sounds like an outlier at this point. And PPP was tweeting tonight that their last minute polling is looking "encouraging" for Santorum. Yes, I get tweets from PPP. It's better than Kim Kardashian.

Romney had what I think may be the first "let me tell you a childhood tale that's not true" moment of the season: Talking about how he was four years old and vividly remembered his father being the grandmaster of the Golden Jubilee parade to celebrate fifty years of automotive manufacturing in the United States. Unfortunately, said parade happened nine months before Romney was born.

Santorum is running robo-calls in MI asking Democrats to vote for him tomorrow (open primary; anyone can vote on any ticket).

His campaign defended it by saying his message of fiscal responsibility speaks to Reagan Democrats.

In America, first you get the delegates, then you get the nomination, then you get the women.

I dunno about the lamentations of their wimminz. I think what you'd have is a bunch of newly created feminists milling around in your brand new Re-Education for Jebus camps.
