Mathematical Impossibility
25 February 2008That’s a phrase being thrown around quite a bit these days. It is pointed out that, even if Mike Huckabee wins every single uncommitted delegate from here on out, he will still be some 200 delegates short of the nomination. What isn’t mentioned is that under those circumstance, McCain will also be 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 [...]

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.

Gingrich Writes Reagan Era Obituary, Rush Limbaugh Apoplectic
14 January 2008No one is a bigger fan of Ronald Reagan than I am. Reagan stood for conservatism long before it was fashionable and he is the model of conservatism. But we aren’t facing the Soviet Union, Reagan defeated that. We aren’t facing many of the problems we faced in the eighties. We have a whole new set of problems and we have to face them head on as a party and decided how we’ll deal with them and articulate that to the electorate. We can’t do that if we’re constantly bickering over Reagan.

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 [...]
Talking Points on the Right
5 January 2008For years now I’ve noticed how the left works off talking points. One day you hear some theme and suddenly it’s everywhere, virtually word for word. Whether it was “the politics of personal destruction” or “Republican corruption” it was clear that every Democrat talking head was working from the same play book, using virtually identical [...]
