Happy Holidays, and Thanks - My 100th Post
So my second thanks goes to all my friends who've shared their T-Day dishes via their blogs - the virtual feast you've offered up has filled me almost as much as savoring them in person would have (and with 0 calories, fat, or carbs).

It's part of an unabashed push by Romney in Iowa as his rivals scramble to deny him huge momentum heading into the Jan. He's striking an optimistic tone in the final days of the Iowa campaign.
