As I Asked Before, Does It Make Sense to Endorse the People You Want to Run Against?

Posted on January 2, 2012 by Kempite

Last week I was criticized for criticizing now former Republican presidential candidate Gary Johnson for endorsing Ron Paul for the Republican presidential nomination while at the same time seeking the Libertarian presidential nomination. I made a bit of a stink about the stupidity of endorsing the candidacy of someone who you intend to oppose. As it [...]

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 [...]

The Independent Political Report recently revealed that former Republican New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson will be withdrawing from the race for the Republican presidential nomination, and instead, begin pursuing the Libertarian Party’s presidential nomination.

Newt Gingrich: Phoenix Rising or Leader Emeritus? Can Newt be the Next Frontrunner?

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Kempite

While Mitt Romney maintains a steady 25% in most Republican presidential polls, the polling numbers for other candidates have seen wide fluctuations that provide them with five minutes of fame in frontrunner status. That has been a phenomenon mainly to the desire of the G.O.P. base to find a viable alternative to Romney that they can get excited about. For [...]

Tim Pawlenty Could Stand To Gain While The Big Names Sit On The Sidelines

Posted on May 8, 2011 by jsmashmouth

The 1st GOP Presidential debate is in the books. There are those who feel it lacked the “Wow” factor that it would have had if the top polling candidates had taken part.

Airtime for the backups

Posted on May 6, 2011 by ikefriday

Aside from Tim Pawlenty, going into last night’s debate I think most pundits considered these to be second tier candidates. After last night, I will admit that the perception that most of these candidates don’t have a viable shot probably hasn’t changed. However, there were clear winners and clear losers. Here is my take on [...]

The Neapolitan Party

Posted on March 5, 2011 by ikefriday

Early on in this race, we are starting to see a clear breakdown in the Republican party into three distinct flavors. The question will be whether one candidate can unite the party once the others have melted away. The social conservatives are known for their stances on family values, morality, and for some, Christianity. They [...]
