It's Ne-va-duh.

Wevoteprocat is always on the money. Well, maybe not always but our intentions are perfectly good. We gamble just like anybody else in this crazy game we call politics. Being the wonkish felines, Angus, Annie, Malcolm, and Lady have hit the Vegas political buffets with a vengeance. Here's what they got:



Mitt and Hillary's luck luck has never been better.
The two scored victories in what may be a preview of November. Wevoteprocat has said it before, but with this election were allowed to change our minds every once in a while. Who knows, Duncan Hunter and Kucinich could dominate the Feb, 5 primaries, and it would be par for the course in this never-a-dull-moment (well, except when Thompson speaks) campaign.

From the top link: "In South Carolina, the economy and immigration were cited as top issues, with more than half the voters saying illegal immigrants should be deported. Conservatives and white evangelical voters turned out in heavy numbers, according to the polling place interviews." Yes, those illegal immigrants are really damaging that robust South Carolina economy.

As the economy takes a downward spiral, Nevadans look to a man with business credentials. Mitt is in the bullshit business, and he has unveiled his new package.

Now, Mitt's the man that can bring change to Washington.

There's no Regan this time around. Even so, Reagan wasn't that iconoclastic when he hit the campaign trail in 1980. I'm glad I was too young to remember. Freshly minted NY Times columnist Bill Kristol elaborates from his more comfortable publication:

Newsflash: the Civil War is not over. From the bumper stickers on the back of pickup trucks, which I somehow see in Union states, to Huckabee's defense of the confederate flag, the battle rages on.

You know Huck. But do you know Mrs. Huck?

If you know Huck, you know he likea da Jesus. However, does he receive too much harsh treatment for his beliefs? When judgment day comes, we'll be sorry.

Thompson makes his final stand in South Carolina. This weekend is the last you may see of this mug:



Another Thompson probably has a nice long career ahead of her. I predict a short-lived stint at Fox News. Bring the falafel!



As our heads bobbed in unison to Collective Soul songs, my generation watched Chelsea grow up in the White House. Lately, she's been hitting the trail for mom.

From two political vixens to one hot cat:




Wevoteprocat knows the beauty of a good campaign fight.

We'll have complete coverage of the Sunday news shows and the GOP South Carolina results tomorrow. Until then, bet the house that you can't find coverage this good anywhere else, sucka.

Slow day. Mitt visits Staples. "Have you met an SP?...One day it'll be like that."

Wevoteprocat will shatter suppression like nobody's risky business. Spectatorism is something that we don't have time for. We jump right in...

While in South Carolina, Mitt Romney visited a local Staples Office Store, a little mom and pop operation. Apparently, saving money on Post-It notes wasn't the only thing on this reporter's mind:

Not familiar with the Palmetto State's upcoming fight?

Red pickup truck (prop). Check. Nice drawl (sleep inducing). Check. Grandfatherly charms (and looks). Check. Why isn't Thompson faring better in South Carolina? Regardless of his poor poll position, Thompson bets it all on the land of grits. Ya gotta admit, the man can read the cue cards.

The Mitt man assessed his chances down South. He bailed when he saw the first Camaro on cinder blocks..


Has the media ignored Edwards? He did make the cover of Newsweek in the coveted spot of a week before Iowa.

Onto another campaign marching to its death, Rudy is giving his all to Florida. In fact, he'll probably settle down there after the loss. Why has Rudy suffered so much? The media pitched the McCain comeback? Romney's clean look charmed the fragmented GOP audience? Kansas? Some say not so fast, Wevoteprocat!

What about the land of gambling, buffets and The Moody Blues? Headline predictions: "The wild west shootout in Nevada," "Candidate X rolls the dice in...," "John McCain joins Blue Man Group, croaks on stage," "Giuliani caught in prostitution sting."

If you cross Russert,




you cross Angus.
