There are actually some northern Republican governors, Christie, Scott Walker, my own governor Rick Snyder, who are conservative but show a lot of fight and backbone, get things done in states that aren't super conservative, and are not easily caricatured as wanting to re-enslave black people, put women back in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant, and deport every single person who's browner than Carlos Santana. tongue

I look to people like that to be in the mix for 2016.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
