Desperate for an articulate spokesman, many in the GOP seem willing to accept nearly any Republican politician as long as he meets these criteria: 1. Good looking 2. Well-spoken 3. Likable While these traits are certainly nice, they’re not going to necessarily change governance much unless the inside of the person has some core conservative […]

Sarah Palin visited my neck of the woods yesterday–Cypress, Texas to be exact, which is about a half hour from where I live–to stump for Texas Governor Rick Perry. Perry is being challenged in the primary by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and Debra Medina. I attended the rally, sat on Bloggers row [more here] and […]

Earlier this week, I noted that Meg Whitman, who’s running for Governor of California, was slapping Sarah Palin fans in the face by hiring Mike Murphy, one of the sleazy McCain aides who trashed her after the election. In that post, I pointed out that campaign staff are essentially disposable on a campaign: Now staffers […]

After John McCain went down in flames, his staffers went on the warpath. Not against him, for blowing it in the home stretch of the campaign. Not against the media, for abandoning the man who used to be their favorite Republican. Not even against Barack Obama. No, John McCain’s staffers ran to the press and […]

know you guys hate videos (well, RWN people do), but I’m including it here because it’s so illustrative of good political speak.

Consider Marco Rubio in Florida: Marco Rubio, who began last year as a total unknown, has pulled ahead of Florida Gov. Charlie Crist in the Florida Senate Republican primary for the first time, in a new Quinnipiac poll released today. […]

Now that Republicans are making a stunning comeback by riding a wave of public revulsion against the Democrats’ statist agenda, it’s the perfect time to toss principles overboard and revert to the Democrat-Lite Party that disgraced itself by massively expanding the government under Bush. At least, that’s what Newt Gingrich seems to think: Gingrich sees […]

Here’s the sad reality for liberals: In 2006 and 2008, voters were primarily rejecting the Republican Party, not embracing a left-wing agenda. However, Democrats, as always, wildly over reached to the left once they got into power and turned off the American public. That brings us to last night’s election. Turning “Ted Kennedy’s seat” into […]

Rarely do I do a post just to promote someone else’s work, but my friend and co-blogger, Melissa Clouthier, has done an outstanding piece of original reporting on the Tea Party Nation event that Sarah Palin is headlining next month. Before any liberals get too excited, no, Sarah Palin hasn’t done anything wrong, but the […]
