That would be so stoopid for the GOP to do (especially after the dilemma raised by last night's debate) that I thought you might be joking, so I looked it up. The GOP is not offering an official response. Miz B is doing that on her own. More on that.

Speaking of nuclear brain power, Michelle Bachmann, head of the Tea Party caucus, is going to give the Republican response to Obama's speech.

Trope, if you read all the way to the end of the report, there were precisely TWO respondents who self-identified as both Democrats and Tea Partiers. I wouldn't read too much into that.

Puzzling methodology, though. If they were going to focus on Tea Party attitudes, why did they first exclude those who declined to self-identify as Democrat, Republican or Independent? It's obvious (to me) that a big chunk of those excluded might have self-identified as Tea Partiers, given the choice. Maybe the most dyed-in-the-wool Tea Partiers. Instead, the survey deliberately reduced its sample size, and increased its margin of error. Bizarre.

So the Trots don't have a primary system? Y'all already have your nominee chosen for you?

Perry is my personal favorite. You've gotta love a guy who adopts a wait-and-see attitude about global warming while his state is going up in flames.

In reply to Isn't Obama also pretty

Not for or against nuclear, I just don't trust scientists, theories on global climate, vaccines, or anything I can't see in front of me like evolution and I sure as heck don't want Al Gore, the UN, or the government liberals tellin me what the heck I can do with my private property. One man's nukular waste is another man's weed killer.

Whether to revile or support

Whether to revile or support nuclear power is an interesting dilemma. To be sure, it has lots of problems. However, if the alternative is coal, nuclear power pretty much wins on all fronts, including radiation (the amount of radioactive thorium released into the air by coal plants could generate an equal amount of energy if it were captured and used in a thorium nuclear power plant). That said, there are better alternatives.
