In Florida this week, Mitt Romney dealt his competitors an electoral thumping that surpassed even the thumping that he dealt them in New Hampshire.
I happened to be listening to Rush Limbaugh recently as I was driving along. He was having a very interesting conversation with a man who identified himself as a lifelong, dyed-in-the-wool Democrat. At least he had been a Democrat, right up until he heard that President Obama had rejected the TransCanada Keystone XL pipeline.

Just when you think you’ve heard it all, someone reports that the price of the best seat at the Super Bowl — row one on the 50-yard line of Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium — is a cool $17,048. That’s about what it would cost you to buy a 50-inch television set for every room in your house, including the bathrooms, where you could watch this struggle between the Giants and Patriots in great comfort.
While another high-profile showdown between New York and Boston looms in the sports world, we’ve already been beat by the Big Apple in a decidedly less flashy competition.
