There is an endless number of pundit articles dissecting the Republican primary race but your ever contrarian writer sees more than meets the average pundit's eye. Behold.
It is fact that there have been eight state elections. Four have been won by Santorum, three by Romney and one by Gingrich. Most analysts describe a horserace, replete with touts, charts and odds. What I see is a constitutional republic writ loud and clear. The several states are yet truly different even among the supposedly united front of a political party. Despite the homogenizing effects of television and other major media forms, Americans are of substantially different opinions on important issues. Thus, the essence of our Constitution, federalism, still shines brightly.
Even though E Pluribus Unum is our nation's motto, one size does not fit all.
About Me
- Jim Sweeney
- This blog is about politics and people. Politically, I'm a conservative independent with city, state and federal campaign history but not party affiliation. I think of myself as a libertarian but I'm not a Libertarian. I'm a capitalist, a Milton Friedman economics believer. In real life, I'm a lawyer and consultant to both start-up and operating companies and founder of the American Children International Foundation. I've substantial business experience, including being CEO of a public company. I am single, live in Arcadia CA, have 4 grown children and a 10 year old son; served in the Marine Corps; enjoy baseball, tennis and am a warm weather guy. Hawaii is my favorite vacation place. It's America for one thing, blue-state America but you can't have it all.
