Newt Gingrich is Yesterday’s Man

Posted on February 10, 2012 by dfcowan

Newt Gingrich was introduced at CPAC by Calista, who generously thanked the many kind Americans they have met on the campaign trail. When he came on stage to an excited crowd, it was clearly no 2009, when he had entered through the crowd to his signature “Eye of the Tiger.” Maybe it’s the effect [...]

Mitt Flashes His Credentials with a Smile: See His CPAC Speech in its Entirety Here

Posted on February 10, 2012 by dfcowan

Will Romney show his conservative rivals the door? A smiling Mitt Romney came to CPAC today with one thing on his mind, the need to prove his conservative credentials to the base of conservative activists. Telling the audience that he knew many of them came to conservatism via Hayek or Edmund Burke, Romney said [...]

Is Washington alive to the Sound of Santorum?

Posted on February 10, 2012 by dfcowan

Rick Santorum appeared on stage with his family, introducing them he said they were not the von Trapp family and they weren’t about to sing. However as he set out on his speech to offer sweet music to conservative ears, he seemed to stumble a little, the speakers version of being out of tune. But, [...]

A Populist CPAC, but where are the ideas?

Posted on February 9, 2012 by dfcowan

Meeting Donald Rumsfeld today, the man who knows his knowns from his unknowns, he saw my media badge saying WhiteHouse12 and asked me “You’re from the White House?” I explained I was not, and we are a website covering the election, but I can’t be sure whether he was disappointed or not. Being an election [...]

Politics IS a Contact Sport

Posted on January 30, 2012 by dfcowan

So, Newt has launched an attack ad on Mitt, and no doubt the Democrats are watching with glee. There are no doubt worries that attack ads damage the Republican Party, just as many worry that American politics is too divisive. Does all the “infighting” damage Republican chances? Well, no. Attack ads are part of politics. [...]

Santorum Shines, Paul Respected

Posted on January 27, 2012 by ikefriday

The only thing worse than endless political ads is political ads being tossed back and forth in a debate format with no fact checker. Well, almost no fact checker. Romney himself got caught when he tried to famously disavow any political negativity coming from his side only to discover that he had indeed approved an [...]

The Fox News GOP South Carolina post-debate review

Posted on January 17, 2012 by worldviewtonight

The Fox News South Carolina debate and GOP race was blown apart by two brilliant performances last night from Texas Governor Rick Perry, & former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Both men turned in factual, solid, cool and collected performances. What was also noticeable about the night wasn’t so much that both men attacked establishment favourite [...]

ABC News/Yahoo Debate GOP New Hampshire post-debate analysis

Posted on January 8, 2012 by worldviewtonight

I stayed up until 02:00hrs (UK Time) tonight to watch with anticipation the expected slug feast that was meant to be the GOP ABC News /Yahoo debate. Sadly, the standard of debate questions were the poorest of any to date, and I actually felt more sorry for the moderators asking the questions, then for the candidates, [...]

A Political Week Like No Other

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Kempite

This first week of the new year is probably one of the most politically important of this entire year. At least for Republicans. In many ways it will be an unprecedented week of decisions and opportunities. Most of the decisions are likely going to deal more with who can’t become President, than who will [...]

In Bachmann’s Mind

Posted on December 21, 2011 by ikefriday

I would think Michele Bachmann would be more gentle with some of her Republican competitors. She herself has faced everything from the bigotry of the Left against conservative women to the watchfulness of the one-eyed media who has gleefully remarked on her every gaffe while turning the blind eye to the Obama/Biden circus. Yet, to [...]

Final Republican Presidential Debate Before Iowa Sees Many Homeruns and Few Strikes

Posted on December 16, 2011 by Kempite

The final debate before the Iowa Republican Caucuses proved to be a mature, substantive exchange of views that allowed voters to get a good sense of each candidate’s political instincts. Each one executed strong, solid performances, which validated their place on the stage and in this race. Of course some performed stronger than others and [...]
