Maybe i’m reading too far into this, but does anyone else suspect that Richie might have been using hotel rooms so extensively has anything to do with his deteriorating marriage? While he’s so steward of state cash, why stay in a hotel when you live 30 minutes away? He has a car and driver so drinking isn’t likely the answer. Again, maybe I’m reading too much into this but curious what others think.

Of course the supporter who designed Ron Paul’s logo didn’t steal it from Romney.
For one thing, Romney’s logo has this unfortunate ‘squeezed out of a sphincter’ look to it.
Who on earth would steal that?
