The Pundits are Wrong
5 January 2008Watching the caucus returns Thursday night one thing stood out. Virtually all the pundits credited Huckabee’s commanding victory to evangelicals. It was often noted that Huckabee didn’t have his own ground team in Iowa. Rather, he had the natural ground team of local churches. This, they said, made the difference in Iowa but they speculated [...]
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 [...]
Happy New Year!
1 January 2008Happy New Year to you all. It’s 2008, election year. Last year saw this blog really slow down in terms of posts. I hope to change that this year with the primaries looming and the elections in November. I even got a little flack from my dad today for my lack of posting. So I’m [...]
Attacks on Huckabee Continue
26 December 2007For months Mike Huckabee was ignored by the pundits. Then suddenly, Huckabee began to look like a viable candidate and the long knives came out. There has been much speculation about why this might be. Huckabee’s camp speculates that many had already picked their candidate and when Huckabee began to surge he was perceived as [...]
Throw Out Conventional Wisdom
8 November 2007Conventional wisdom is an interesting thing. It is certainly the easy path. After all, it doesn’t require a lot of thought. Yet those who excel don’t typically follow conventional wisdom. If they did they’d be like everyone else. They’d be average, not excellent. Conventional wisdom is nothing more or less than what most people think. [...]
Pat Robertson Has Lost His Mind
7 November 2007The news is full of talk today about Pat Robertson’s endorsement of Rudy Giuliani. It is certainly a shocking event. How can a leader in the evangelical movement endorse a man who supports gay marriage, government funded abortion and sanctuary cities? It is completely mind boggling. The only thing I can come up with is [...]
Any Reason to Bash Bush
24 October 2007Regular readers of this blog know that I am no fan of President Bush. But the extent to which some on the left will go to Bash him is beyond ridiculous. The fires in Southern California are a case in point. While people are still losing their homes, the left is busy politicizing the situation. [...]
Reed Follows in Daschle’s Footsteps
22 October 2007When I spoke to Mark May [sic-Mays], he and I thought this probably wouldn’t make much money-a letter, written by Democrat Senators, complaining about something…[T]he [final] bid [was] more than two million for this… Never did we think that this letter would bring money of this nature… I don’t know what we could do more [...]
Orlando GOP Debate Review
21 October 2007If there was any doubt that the gloves were off, the debate tonight removed that doubt. The debate had Chris Wallace pitting Thompson, Romney and Giuliani against each other almost from the start and each rose to the questions. Thompson compared Giuliani to Hillary Clinton in terms of his positions on immigration and sanctuary cities, [...]
Glenn Beck Huckabee Interview
21 October 2007This is well worth the 30 plus minutes required to see it all. Governor Huckabee is knowledgeable, well spoken, clearly conservative and speaks with total conviction. If you are a conservative he deserves your consideration. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
