Republicans Plan Counter-Convention

They're going to have Romey speak, (oh goody), at a Denver event to rival the Democratic Convention: Republicans compete

Now, allow me to digress for a moment -- I understand that candidates who drop out are going to support the winning candidate in their party - that makes sense. But campaigns have gotten so asinine with the mud slinging and the finger pointing nonsense that I wonder if I'm the only person who finds all of their opionions about one another completely uncredible. Wouldn't it be an interesting change if people actually stuck to real, valid points during their campaigns instead of assulting one another? Imagine that - we might actually have an informed voting population. In fact, I'll bet that if campaigns were conducted that way more people would vote. And you know what - then when people backed the winning candidate after dropping out, we'd believe them because there wouldn't have been a bunch of nonsense preceeding the action.

But noooooo - on with the masquerade.
