Here's an open thread to chew the fat about Super Tuesday. Eleven states' worth of delegates are up for grabs tonight; polls start closing at 7pm ET. (And I'll be surprised if Mitt Romney doesn't come out the winner.)

Here's a second live-snarking thread for the CNN Republican Party debate, as they approach the last few minutes with a deluge of xenophobia and atavism, but not a single question about science education, evolution, or climate change...
Howard Fineman says Republican insiders are suddenly seeing the hot air leaking out of Newt's balloon. The primary reason: the Palin Factor. Some D.C.-based establishment types were preparing to reconcile themselves to former House Speaker Gingrich, if not outright endorse him, before or after the South Carolina primary last week. But ...

CNN has a live video feed here, for tonight's encore performance of the GOP's Florida Clown Car. The big difference tonight: hooting and jeering and applauding for reprehensible things will be encouraged by CNN and Wolf Blitzer, so Newt should be able to do some great rabble-rousing.
Watch out, here comes the GOP Clown Car again, disgorging its endless cargo of makeup-laden performers for another fantabulous debate about nothing of consequence. In the Big Top, the Romney harlequin has no choice but to attack the Gingrich jester like a mad (but hilarious!) dog tonight; you can look forward ...
As we noted last week, four of the GOP candidates for President of the US failed to get on the ballot in Virginia, because of irregularities in their petitions. And now, the same thing is happening in Illinois, where Rick Perry and Rick Santorum may be booted off the primary ballot. ...

The GOP clown car arrives tonight in Myrtle Beach; I'm sure everyone is filled with a delirious sense of anticipation. The wingnut herd has been ruthlessly thinned lately, and five candidates remain, four of whom have no real purpose except to prop up the pretense that someone other than Mitt ...
South Carolina's The State newspaper is now endorsing Jon Huntsman in the Republican race. It's as if conservatives are playing "Wheel of Fortune;" every week they spin the wheel to see which of these interchangeable candidates is going to be the new kid on the block for a few days. And please ...

OK now, this is just getting hilarious: Breaking: Michele Bachmann Iowa campaign co-chair endorses Ron Paul. News is breaking this evening that presidential candidate Michele Bachmann’s Iowa campaign co-chairman Kent Sorenson has endorsed Ron Paul, one of her rivals in the Iowa caucus race. Sorenson, a state senator from Indianola, apparently ...
The Republican car continues disgorging clowns. In all my years watching politics, I've never seen such a ridiculously incompetent slate of GOP candidates: Gingrich, Perry disqualified from Va. primary ballot. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry failed to submit enough valid signatures to qualify for the ...

The media are now pretending that there was some actual conflict, but the Republican candidates obviously agree with each other on almost every issue. Except for Ron Paul, who consistently plays the Crazy Uncle. The only real "conflict" tonight came from the attacks on each other's past positions for not being ...
I'm trying to decide whether to play Batman: Arkham City or live-blog the Iowa GOP debate. But how can I resist the sheer spectacle of the Republican Clown Car as it pulls into Sioux City, Iowa with a full load of pandering politicians? And with questions from Fox News, no less. Live ...

Looks like Donald Trump wanted to quit before he was fired: Trump pulls out of GOP debate. Trump said in his statement that Republicans were reluctant to appear at the debate because he was unwilling to rule out an independent bid for the presidency. Also because Trump is a clown. ...
Rick Perry just said the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is "a minor issue." On that note, we launch our second thread on this pathetic debacle.
It's time for another Republican Party debate, and I'm sure you're all as excited about that as I am. Yet, in the midst of this expectation, I am sad. Life just seems so empty without Herman Cain and his visionary 9-9-9 plan. These debaters have some mighty big shoes to fill. There's ...
Mitt Romney is in the green room, preparing to run the Fox News gauntlet of right wing Attorneys General, so here's a second thread to discuss...
Yes, Fox News is your go-to channel for the latest installment in the ongoing series of torture devices known as "debates." Well, this one isn't exactly a debate, more like a series of right wing nuts interviewing other right wing nuts. Including AG Ken Cuccinelli, a true wingnut kook who's currently ...
In the Republican Party three-ring presidential circus, it's the Rick Perry clown's turn to perform: While defending himself, Perry steps in it again. (CNN) – Rick Perry sought to defend a recent gaffe in an interview Wednesday, but in the same appearance made another. On Tuesday, the Republican presidential candidate incorrectly ...
Oh yeah, right ... mumble mumble ... another $@^&*% debate ... right ... OK, here's a thread ... mumble mumble ...
Here's our first thread for tonight's GOP debate, featuring the most clownish slate of candidates I've ever seen. CNBC is sponsoring this one at Oakland University in southeast Michigan... The drinking game tonight is "Herman Cain," whenever Cain uses it to refer to himself in the third person. UPDATE at 11/9/11 5:05:27 ...
