Conservative Angst
31 January 2008It seems that the conservative pundits are united in agreement with me. From Michelle Malkin to Rush Limbaugh to Ann Coulter, they will not vote for John McCain. Good for them! Ann Coulter went so far as to virtually endorse Hillary Clinton on Hannity & Colmes tonight. My dad called me nearly apoplectic that Coulter [...]
Huckabee Still In
30 January 2008This morning I’ve been looking at the national polls and the state polls for the upcoming Super Tuesday primaries. Folks, Huckabee is still in this. In Georgia, for example, Huckabee has a 15 point lead in the polls. In Alabama he is tied with McCain and I suspect he will pull ahead there. In Tennessee [...]
A Bleak Future for GOP
29 January 2008FOX News has now called the Florida primary for John McCain. Watching the polls the last couple of days, this isn’t really surprising, though it is disappointing. That Florida is a winner take all state makes this bigger than it otherwise would be because McCain’s win will be a close one. But McCain will come [...]
McCain is NOT a Conservative
26 January 2008I was listening to an interview with Florida governor Charlie Crist following his endorsement of John McCain tonight. Among all the glowing compliments he had for McCain was that McCain is a great conservative. I continue to hear this same thing parroted from all manner of so called conservatives. It makes me wonder whether these [...]
Have You Stopped Beating Your Wife?
24 January 2008While overall I’d say tonight’s Republican debate was probably the best of MSNBS’s efforts, it was still characterized by some pretty slanted questioning. Tim Russert asked each candidate, and I’m paraphrasing here, are you excited about running on the record of the party that has screwed up everything? Mostly the candidates handled the question with [...]
Outlook Through Super Tuesday: More Prognostication, for What It’s Worth.
24 January 2008It seems the race for the Republican nomination is in some disarray. Some pundits are predicting a brokered convention. Some Fred heads are talking write in votes in an attempt to force a brokered convention. What are the likely scenarios through Super Tuesday? Giuliani had a solid lead in Florida before the early primaries. Some [...]
McCain Wins South Carolina
19 January 2008I don’t mind saying I’m disappointed. I’ve had harsh words for John McCain and my opinion has not changed. I really thought South Carolinians would not be fooled by him but I was wrong. Of course, independents are what pushed McCain over the top. If you didn’t know, South Carolina has open primaries, something I’ve [...]
South Carolina Nail Biter
19 January 2008It is truly a dreary day in Charleston and across the state of South Carolina. Not the best day to have a primary. We went to the polls around 10:00 this morning. Our polling place is the Greater Goodwill AME Church. When we pulled into the parking lot it was packed, so much so that [...]

COLUMBIA, S.C., Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Today, the following businessmen from Arkansas released a statement in support of former Arkansas Governor, Mike Huckabee: Scott T.

Romney Finally Wins One
15 January 2008As soon as the polls closed in Michigan FOX News declared Romney the winner in the Republican primary. As the votes continue to be counted Romney’s lead continues to increase. When FOX News called it the lead was six points. As I write this that lead has expanded to nine percent over McCain. The question [...]
