Just closer to a default for Greece, closer to getting someone for the GOP front runner, Closer to the World Series, but so far everything and everyone is still in the blender and we don’t know who will come out ahead.

Oh, and Florida’s Republican voters think Herman Caine would make a fine President. They must really really really hate Romney.
I thought Romney didn’t participate in the event over the weekend? This seems to have actually been a much bigger rebuke of Rick Perry than of anyone else. My understanding is that Perry spent considerable energy on this event and came in behind Caine and virtually tied with Romney (who, again, did not participate).
