It was a great win last night by Mike Huckabee in Iowa. I believe that the American people vote with their hearts and not their heads. They do not vote for the smartest guy or gal, they vote for the guy or gal that they can connect with, who understands and shares their hopes and dreams. Negative ads will work if you give them enough time to sink in. Romney hit voters in the head with negative ads. It didn't have time to sink in to their hearts. And it's pathetic when he had to be dishonest about Huckabee's record.

I think I finally nailed down why my gut feelings told me not to support Fred Thompson. It's well known that he's not a church goer. When you want to become the single most powerful person among more than 6 billion people worldwide, and you may not believe in a higher being to whom you have to answer to, whatever you can do without getting caught, you'll do it. That fact makes me uneasy in my guts.

Check out these centenarians, and their interesting quotes. That's one more added motivation for me to work out regularly, eat healthy, so that you can chase women and/or be chased by them when I make it past 100.

I found myself nodding in agreement with Huckabee on C-SPAN when he spoke at a campaign rally in New Hampshire today. People who choose to live an unhealthy lifestyle should pay more for their health insurance than those who choose to eat healthy, work out regularly, and take care of themselves. Just the same way you pay higher auto liability insurance premium if you have a reckless driving record. And I saw him playing the bass guitar with the mama kicks. Someone in the crowd asked how long he's been playing. His answer was since he was eleven. That's a long time, forty some years. No wonder he's good!

Talking of working out regularly, I ran 5 miles in 53:21 this past Wednesday. I hope to be able to bring it under 10 minute mile within the next few days.
