McCain VP Pick
28 February 2008I have certainly been a vociferous critic of John McCain. I don’t like the man, I don’t trust him and I think he is bad for both the Republican Party and the country as a whole. But the fact is, he’s going to be the GOP nominee, that much is certain. The real question is, [...]
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 [...]
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 polls [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Looking Toward the South Carolina Primary
13 January 2008The South Carolina primary is a week away and at present Huckabee is projected to win here. Thompson, however, had a very good night in the debate on FOX News Thursday and McCain is pulling out all the stops to prevent a repeat of 2000. What is the likely outcome?
Regular readers will recall [...]
Republican Presidential Forum
6 January 2008I vastly prefer the format of the Republican Presidential Forum tonight vs. the standard debates. Issues are dealt with on a much deeper basis and the candidates have the opportunity to actually answer question in depth. Tonight was outstanding. Chris Wallace was relentless in seeking answers to the questions he asked and he was equally [...]
Early Iowa Observations
3 January 2008It’s late on caucus night and I’m about to go to bed. I’ll have more to say tomorrow but I didn’t want to close the evening without a few comments about the Iowa caucus and my predictions.
I nailed Huckabee. He won with a significant margin. I was off on Romney and McCain. McCain didn’t get [...]
Iowa Caucus Predictions
2 January 2008To voters in primary states the Iowa Caucus is not well understood. That’s because a caucus doesn’t work the way a primary works. In a primary everyone comes out and votes for their candidate and the one with the most votes wins. In some states if no one gets a majority of votes there may [...]
