These numbers, courtesy of Robert Samuelson, would have been considered beyond belief if they’d have happened in a short period of time. But it’s like that old saw about the frog in the slowly warming pot of water who doesn’t realize he’s in trouble until it starts boiling and he’s cooked. Well, guess what, folks?: Dinner’s […]

  Mitt Romney was winning independents in most polls by 7-20 points before Chris Christie’s over-the-top praise for the minimal amount of help Obama gave his state tanked Mitt’s numbers with independents. The early exit polls showed that Mitt won independents by only 5 points. So, did Chris Christie cost Mitt Romney hundreds of thousands […]

  I’m sure Obama will make a great president. I can’t wait for him to get started. – Adam Carolla (@adamcarolla) November 7, 2012:  Say what you want about our spending while running the RNC, at least we won elections. THAT’S what I call an ROI. dailycaller.com/2012/11/08/rnc…       – Michael Steele (@Steele_Michael) November […]

By John Hawkins TPNN Contributor Since Saddam Hussein was a dictator, you may not be aware that people actually had “elections” in Iraq when he was in charge. Forexample, in 1995, Saddam Hussein received 99.96% of the vote; everyone just assumed it was fraudulent. Quite frankly, people: should make the same assumption about these numbers. Some […]

  Respectfully, I have to disagree with: Herman Cain’s call for a Third Party in the strongest of terms. It might be emotionally satisfying, but it would be doomed before it got started. Appearing on Bryan Fischer’s radio program this afternoon, Cain called for a large faction of Republican Party leaders to desert the party and […]

By John Hawkins TPNN Contributor We lost on Tuesday night and let’s not sugarcoat it: Incalculable amounts of damage are going to be done to the country as a result. ObamaCare is going to go into effect, the Supreme Court seems likely to move to the left, we seem likely to accelerate our slide towards […]

  The Republican Party lost to one of the worst Presidents in American history with its handpicked, establishment-approved candidate despite the fact that the economy is terrible, there’s a foreign policy scandal making headlines, and Obama ran a poor campaign. Despite the fact that we were perfectly primed to take over the Senate, we blew […]

By John Hawkins TPNN Contributor Understandably, most people were focused on the Obama vs. Romney contest, but there were a lot of other important races last night. Overall, the GOP gained governorships, should roughly have a wash in the House, and lost Senate seats. Here’s a breakdown on how some of the most important races […]

The GOP would need to capture 4 seats to take control of the Senate. Unfortunately, the same state level polling data issue that’s impacting the presidential race is playing a role in the Senate races as well. In fact, it’s even more problematic in the Senate races because there’s even less quality poll data to […]

by John Hawkins TPNN Contributor On Election Day, Republicans usually turn out in greater numbers than Democrats. So, while the Democrats will naturally do everything they can to improve their own turn-out, they’re also likely to try to suppress Republican turnout. How do they do that? Simple: By convincing Republicans that they’ve already lost and […]

The assumptions behind the latest poll from CNN are surprisingly typical and it tells you everything you need to know about why people are so skeptical about the polling data that they’re seeing. The top line is Barack Obama 49 vs. Mitt Romney 49. Looks close, right? But then, you look at the crosstabs: and see […]
