I don’t know if I should be excited or disappointed that our main page April Fool’s joke has been so popular. It’s only been up three hours and I literally have OVER 200 emails from FR readers telling me "you got me" or "boy did I fall for that one" or some other variation on the theme.
I’m excited because it’s always fun to successfully execute an April Fools Day "Gotcha" — I’m disappointed because in order to pull that off, you need to throw out a scenario that is so plausable that people want to believe it.
It’s too bad that a joke about the Governor leaving the GOP is so believable to so many. Sigh.

You got me too. Of course I really really wanted it to be true and was really let down to find out he wasn’t leaving…
