You know who won the election (or whether we face another Florida 2000), and as I write I don’t. But whether Barack Obama is re-elected to a second term or Mitt Romney is elected the 45th president, the contours of their support during this fiercely fought campaign show that we live in Two Americas. The […]
I expect that by the time you read this, President Obama will have been re-elected. Get ready for four more years of Big Bloated Government. Hurricane Sandy didn’t help. The New York Times declared “a big storm requires big government,” and my liberal neighbors agreed. My science-challenged mayor, Michael Bloomberg, said the storm makes it […]
The next president of the United States must do right by our men and women in uniform. Our troops put their lives on the line to protect our right to vote, but untold thousands of them were unable to cast their own ballots on Tuesday. For shame. Veterans groups and soldiers advocates have warned about […]
Among the objections to ObamaCare, one that has not gotten as much attention as it should is the president’s power to waive the law for any company, union or other enterprise he chooses. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution provides for “equal protection of the laws” for all Americans. To have a law that can […]
Here’s one usage of the term gentleman: The gentleman helped the fallen lady to her feet. Here’s another, one we might hear from a newscaster or a police spokesman: Tonight we report on the arrest of two gentlemen who raped, sodomized and murdered an 80-year-old woman. During earlier times, to be called a gentleman meant […]
Although the eurozone crisis did not make it into the US presidential debate on foreign policy in October, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner did remark earlier in the month: “We are very worried about the risk of collapse in Europe.” Indeed, he should be, for a collapse of the euro would not only send shockwaves through […]
For years I have cautioned that changes in the ownership of gold held in the vaults of key central banks around the globe may not have been accurately reported. A report issued last month in Germany has once again brought these issues to the fore. In today’s environment of rampant money creation and questioning of […]
Yup. That’s right. A landslide for Mitt Romney approaching the magnitude of President Obama’s against John McCain. That’s my prediction. On Sunday, we changed our clocks. On Tuesday, we’ll change our president. Romney will win the states McCain carried in 2008, with the addition of Florida, Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, Iowa, Ohio, New Hampshire, […]
In the last week or so, an intense kerfuffle broke out over the poll-prognosticator Nate Silver and his blog at the New York Times, FiveThirtyEight. Silver, a statistician, has been predicting a decisive Obama victory for a very long time, based on his very complicated statistical model, which very, very few of his fans or […]
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 […]
So, Romney is leading Indies by twelve in Virginia, and Obama’s lead amongst women isn’t enough, according to Ace. : Virginia is also reporting a heavy voter turnout. More: CNN’s exits have it 49-49. This almost certainly means it’s in the bag for Team Red. In addition, I saw secondhand that Obama’s advantage with women is […]
Let’s all calm down. : I know a few conservative may have started to sweat after seeing Drudge’s headline showing “boom” for Obama in the early exit polls. : However, Ace of Spades reminds us that in 2004, John Kerry led in the exit polls by nine. Remember, the: 2004 exits had Kerry winning nationally 51-48.: Actual result? Pretty […]
After casting my ballot for Mitt Romney, I tuned into Julie Mason’s The Press Pool on Sirius XM during my three hour trek back to Maryland. : Mason’s guest was Pittsburgh-Tribune Review staff writer and editorial page columnist Salena Zito, who detailed how Romney could win Pennsylvania tonight. : One indicator was Romney’s rally in Bucks County, […]
Sandy Banks of the L.A. Times has figured out why anyone would vote against Barack Obama. Why, they are all racists, of course. Oh, you don’t use “the N word,” she tells us, but we know what you Romney voters really think. Banks dropped all pretense of logic or fairness in her November 4 piece […]
“You’re supposed to vote for the best candidate, not because he’s black or white…”
Using the Real Clear Politics map maker, this is what I think will happen. In this scenario, Romney can lose Pennsylvania, but must win Ohio and Virginia. Colorado and Wisconsin are simply extras if he wins New Hampshire. Romney will win Florida and NC handily.
You’ve probably heard about the massive number of jobs and energy killing regulations planned by Obama’s EPA to hit after the election. What about with Obamacare? (Politico) The bottled-up rules to set up President Barack Obama’s health care reform law are going to start flowing quickly right after Election Day. But how long will that […]
I think we all know the reasoning why the presidential campaign looks so small, but, The Politico attempts to ascribe the same type of small campaign to Romney even more than Obama The 2012 election is over at last, and its supporting cast–a complex of operatives and reporters, locked in an embrace of mutual need […]
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 […]
Because of the widespread disagreements over the validity of the polling data in most states, this has been a VERY difficult election to call and, as you can see, the predictions are all over the map. Mitt Romney Wins —————- Joe Scarborough: Mitt Romney wins Jay Cost: Romney wins Dan McLaughlin: 271 vs. 267 Leslie […]
* Since Friday of last week, I’ve been in Las Vegas, Nevada working with Dustin Stockton.com and Western Representation PAC, both of which have been doing a final get-out-the-vote push to try to get the GOP over-the-top in the state. Today, I’m still in Vegas, but I’m covering the election for The Tea Party News […]
The day has arrived. : In about twenty-four hours, the stains of Barack Obama will be wiped clean and honor and dignity will be restored to The White House under Governor Mitt Romney. : It hasn’t been an easy road. : Conservatives waged a brutal primary battle that left us with a scarred nominee — Romney — coming […]
CNN’s 1600 Report blog is currently featuring a photo of aging rocker Bruce Springsteen at a rally for Obama in Wisconsin today. The headline reads, “Springsteen energizes Obama’s final sprint.” One might think it would be interesting, though, to compare and contrast the size of the crowd at Obama’s Springsteen rally with Romney’s rally from […]
This country is at a historic crossroads, and the path we choose can determine our future far beyond the next four years. Our children and grandchildren may someday bless us or curse us for what we do this Tuesday. Against that background, it is painful to see the petty talking points and gross misconceptions that […]
With the troubling devastation of Hurricane Sandy on our nation’s doorstep — and so many people in need of food, shelter and emergency services after the storm — I encourage Americans to reach out to our neighbors and help them through this challenging time. Sometimes it feels as if America is living through an Armageddon […]
Mitt Romney was very wise to pivot on Barack Obama’s impromptu statement that “voting is the best revenge” and frame the campaign in the final days as a choice between that negative message and Romney’s “love of country.” I wouldn’t say that if I thought Obama’s statement was merely a slip of the tongue. Rather, […]
I spent the last week of October speaking to thousands of Mitt Romney supporters in four “battleground” states: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and Virginia. I travelled with my Salem Radio Network colleagues Hugh Hewitt and Michael Medved, and the actor Jon Voight, one of the few Hollywood stars who is a politically outspoken conservative. During the […]
Natural disasters usually follow the same political trajectory: First the incumbent experiences a bounce as he tours the impacted area, shows his concern and pledges help to his beleaguered constituents. Then reality sets in and the shortages, delays, mishaps, deaths and devastation become apparent. People turn against the incumbent. George W. Bush had his Katrina. […]
The government has the power to seize your assets for a crime you did not commit. That’s essentially the argument being made in a Boston federal court this week as the U.S. Department of Justice and Tewksbury (Mass.) Police Department work to take Motel Caswell away from its owner, Russ Caswell. The libertarian-leaning legal team […]
Presidential elections decide only who wins the White House and a congressional majority. They don’t by themselves solve the nation’s problems. George W. Bush had a majority Republican Congress and did little with it. President Obama had a majority Democrat Congress during his first two years in office, but appeared to let ideology trump solutions, […]
