bedsitter23GarbageCanMusic warns me I shouldn't talk election, but I can't help it.
It's out there and it can't be avoided.
We had the State of the Union address and what was that if not a practice session for rand Paul and the thirstiest man in Congress, Marco Rubio.
Of course, now is the time when potential candidates make a tribute to the Hawkeye state ostensibly for fundraising that is for someone else, but inevitably means they are seriously thinking White House.
On the Republican side, Mike Huckabee was at a GOP event targeted around "Pro-Life". Huckabee made a point that he is sticking to his guns on abortion and gay marriage (A recent poll shows 54% of Americans support gay marriage, similarly a poll from last year showed 54% of Americans were against overturning Roe vs Wade).
Nothing to see here, really, Huckabee compared abortion to the holocaust, and if there is any news story, it's that Huckabee said he would not be averse to leaving the GOP if they made any move to the center on the 'family issues' platform. The Des Moines Register reported an audience of about 250.
So, if Huckabee's headlining the GOP fundraiser, who are the Dems bringing in?
How about Lady Gaga?
DailyKos and others picked up on the story that someone who looks like this and someone who looks like this were joining forces:
Harkin was planning an event in DC in which a couple would get two tickets and a VIP concert for around $3000.
Of course, the fundraiser would have happened this weekend.
It didn't.
Harkin has since announced he's not seeking re-election and Gaga had hip surgery which has put he rout of commission temporarily.
The 73-year old Senator has said he's a fan and Gaga's political career is longer than you think is it- fundraisers with New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg and tweeting back and forth with Harry Reid.
So...
2016- How about Huckabee vs Gaga?
Might as well.
