speaks to the split race, I would think

Well, if it's so fucking obvious, why did you mention it at all?

Meaning: It's a split race, of course he's going to get a lower vote count--even in a win--than he got in a less contested race in 08. But you didn't bother with that context, did you?

i thought it was interesting how in his victory he recieved less votes than in his loss 4 years ago.  you had to chime in with your worthless two cents on that, Major Obvious.

Again, if it's that obvious, then your initial observation is what's worthless.

Providing context to make your initially worthless observation meaningful =/= worthless, Private Bitter.

really?  you really dont think its noteworthy to mention how he had less votes this caucus even though he won?  and you really feel it necessary to mention a split race when its so incredibly obvious?

He is, and I hope he gets laughed at. He's possibly more evil than Cheney.

good chance pauyl will run as a third party candidate, which will ensure an obama victory.

Nope. Gary Johnson has already been selected as the Libertarian Party candidate.

Of course it's noteworthy. And it's also necessary to point out that the reason for that noteworthy point is the split race. It is also unnecessary to be so combative in your posts.

He's been shooting for VP from the beginning. He knows as well as anyone that his baggage makes him unelectable in the general.

During a town hall-style appearance in Concord, the former House Speaker said he had no interest in exploring drug decriminalization, arguing that such efforts haven't worked in Europe. Contra Gingrich, however, Portugal has had some success with decriminalization initiatives.

Pushed a bit later on the incarceration rate related to petty drug crimes, Gingrich responded, "I think the best thing is to get young people not to do drugs and then you won't be dealing with criminals that you just described."

A third resident of the "live free or die" state argued that the founding fathers had been far more lenient about marijuana than the current political class. "I think Jefferson or George Washington would have rather strongly discouraged you from growing marijuana and their techniques with dealing with it would have been rather more violent than our current government," Gingrich replied.

Got anything to counter his position?

I don't know whether I agree or disagree, as I haven't seen anything to support either position.

As a recreational/medicinal drug or as hemp (ie, for rope, etc)? From what I've been able to find, it isn't clear.

They had to get enlightened somehow, FEOS. Look at early depictions of those constitutional congresses and you can see the haze in the air
