Also, I saw that “Union University” was in the top ten Google Searches (as high as 6 that I saw) for the entire day. That is pretty incredible given that it was “Super Tuesday”.

I am convinced Sen. McCain is not a conservative, and in fact, has gone out of his way to stick his thumb in the eyes of those who are.
