It was Christmas Holiday party weekend in the neighborhood. Interestingly several folks approached me to say essentially the same thing – “Will you guys* please stop screwing around and just nominate Mitt Romney.

MSNBC has in recent weeks become the daily venue for one of the most bizarre reality shows on cable TV: Morning Bromance, starring Joe Scarborough as a man helplessly smitten with “Republican presidential candidate” Jon Huntsman. When he isn’t blowing air-kisses at Huntsman, Scarborough is citing every possible media blurb about Huntsman as ratification of […]

Controversial comments about Mormonism being a “cult” have resulted in Newt Gingrich’s new Iowa political director being dumped form the campaign.

Email: I’d love to get your take on something, which I’ve asked many people, mostly Romney/Newt/Perry/Cain/Bachmann/Ron-Paul-Doesn’t-Exist Republicans – few of whom have given me a an answer in any form other than an eye-roll, as if I’m just ‘the cutest little heretic they’ve ever met’. My question is this: How come if you were to […]

Mitt Romney arrived at : Conchita Foods, a family owned grocery wholesaler in Miami, Florida, Tuesday morning to gain support from Florida Republicans and increase his appeal to an important Latino voting block, South-Florida’s Cuban-American community. Romney also provided a glimpse on how he can win the Latino vote. The Miami campaign stop trumpeted the endorsement […]

Now that Newt Gingrich has become one of the top two contenders for the Republican presidential nomination, he is falling under intense scrutiny. The closer a Republican candidate comes to winning the nomination, the more their conservative credentials are called into question. Gingrich had a very successful tenure as Speaker of the House in the […]

Back on November 9th, I wrote a post called Why The Latest Sexual Harassment Allegations Are Probably A Deathblow For Cain. Here’s an excerpt, The problem with these sexual harassment allegations, whether they are true or not, is that they’re undercutting every one of his strengths.
