I'm surprised mortuaries haven't run out of caskets despite Abdul as one of many talking heads that have written multiple epitaphs for the Tea Party. Abdul's kinship to establishment figures is well known just as his wishful thinking often passes as his fact. patriot paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16157550885787325184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-87738458263387014012014-06-09T07:39:25.203-05:002014-06-09T07:39:25.203-05:00Guv, COA & SupCt nominees used 2b Joe's in...Guv, COA & SupCt nominees used 2b Joe's in at convention as well.

Those offices are chosen at the state convention rather than primary election to give the party leaders more control over who occupies those offices. Gary R.
