We are pretty cool MAMAs, who are not easily “star struck,” but we kind of lost it a bit when we got to talk to Punky Brewster on the phone.  Yes, we had a little chit chat with Soleil Moon Frye herself about her website and her book “Happy Chaos,” and we could not have been less cool.

Ron Paul took second place with 22% and Jon Huntsman came in third with 17% of the primary vote.  So, our takeaway is that "Mitt is it."
