The fluidness of the GOP field is remarkable. Historically this is THE rock show. Not more than a week ago Huck is surging out of control in Iowa, SC, and Florida. Now we have polls putting Mitt tied with Huck in SC and Romney statistically tied for 2nd in FL, not to mention the closing gap between Mitt and Huck in Iowa. National review endorses Mitt, McCain was just endorsed by Joe, someone finally lit a fire under Fred's a$$ in Iowa ( though I don't know what he expects to achieve this late in the game), and Rudy suddenly changes his theme (Tested. Ready. 911 *ahem* Now.)

Can't wait to see what this week brings...  

I met Mr. Hewitt several weeks ago at a CLS conference in Destin, FL, whom inspired me to begin a blog of my ideas, concerns, and opinions. I do not much expect anyone to view what I have to say, and it would certainly be a wonderful surprise to have comments or criticism to any words I speak. My blog's name is titled "The Cato Letters". I studied the letters briefly and they seem to capture much of what I hope to convey here, how much of a blessing it is to be able to write them, and a small window into my own philosophy and interests. Wikipedia describes them as:

"144 essays published from 1720 to 1723, originally in the London Journal, later in the British Journel. These newspaper essays condemning tyranny and advancing principles of freedom of conscience and freedom of speech, were a main vehicle for spreading the concepts that had been developed by John Locke. The Letters were collected and printed as Essays on Liberty, Civil and Religious. A measure of their influence is attested by six editions printed by 1755. A generation later their arguments immensely influenced American colonists, where it is estimated that half the private libraries in the American Colonies held bound volumes of Cato's Letters on their shelves.”

They are an interesting bit of literature, and I would recommend anyone interested in American History, or the history of democracy, to check them out. I graduated with a Major in Political Science and Religion/ Philosophy and am currently in Law School. I am a young individual, and if anyone ever does read this out of interest, I assume it will most likely be in some way to view today's America from the eyes of young person not yet a quarter century with a wild idealism and a thirst for knowledge and truth. In any case I am proud to have become the newest member of the blogging revolution.
