We love this, the constant race to find the fun, pertinent info that we think you should know, but we need help every now and then. Our money situations have been as spotty as most these past few years, and your support has meant everything. If you can spare a few dollars, please donate.
If you need a snail mail addy, feel free to email thepoliticalcarnival@gmail.com. Thank you.
LOL. Via.
We only do the fundraiser every quarter, but there are ways you can help support us every day, from clicking on ads (Google, Amazon and occasionally the actual paid for BlogAd) to buying stuff from Amazon after clicking our link to them, to monthly subscriptions at our Support TPC page to just a straight forward donation here or the buttons to your right.
We’re both struggling right now with more crap than ya’ll care about, but the reason we get up every morning is to get the news for you. And it’s only going to get crazier here in the next few months. We thank you.
I cannot see Paul anymore without hearing that video. Love how he’s throwing all these monkey wrenches in the GOP’s cogs.
Despite a speech from U.S. Sen. Jim Risch backing Mitt Romney, Rep. Ron Paul won Friday’s pay-to-play vote. Paul’s surrogate was Washington state Rep. Matt Shea of Spokane Valley.
How strong a win? The former Libertarian got 43 percent (173 votes) to the former Massachusetts governor’s 34 percent (135). Trailing them were Newt Gingrich with 12 percent (47 votes), Rick Santorum at 10 percent (40) and Jon Huntsman with 1 percent (4). A total of 399 people from across Idaho participated. Rick Perry’s campaign asked not to be included on the straw poll ballot.
What’s it mean? It cost $30 to participate, and party officials cautioned against making too much of the result. The poll was a party fundraiser held at the Riverside Hotel in Garden City.
Whoops of joy: Paulies were jubilant. “It feels so good,” said Chris MacCloud of Meridian. “Just a lot of hard work, time and energy.”
