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 [...]

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 [...]

Posted on January 7, 2012 by ikefriday

Come on.  We’ve heard these candidates in just over one million debates so far this year.  Another one?  Another two actually, this weekend leading up to the New Hampshire debates.  And these two debates could definitely wreak havoc on the standings going into New Hampshire. Mitt Romney is the undisputed front runner.  Ron Paul and [...]

Debunking Newt Mythology

Posted on December 5, 2011 by ikefriday

Ok, hold on a minute.  Let’s talk about Newt. The left has gone all in on Newt.  After three years of seeing that the Democrats have an empty hand with Obama, they have put all their chips on the table and dared us to run Newt.  And as usual, we are folding.  Same thing happened [...]

Trunkline 2012: Sunday Election News Review-12//4/11

Posted on December 4, 2011 by ikefriday

 ****Cain gone, Newt Ahead in Iowa, Coming in second: Ron Paul?? ***** With Cain gone, the field is looking more and more like Gingrich/Romney.  Meanwhile, liberal pundits and even some conservatives seem to be praying that Newt’s rise will be as long lived as Bachmann’s, Perry’s and Cain’s.  Is it really Santorum’s turn?  How about [...]

Reaction To Herman Cain’s Decision To Suspend His Campaign

Posted on December 3, 2011 by Kempite

   Herman Cain’s poll numbers had fallen in to the single digits, so his withdrawal from the race for the Republican presidential nomination may not have any immediate and dramatic effect on the overall numbers for any of the other candidates.  It would seem that Newt Gingrich had already picked up the numbers that Cain lost.  [...]

Bachmann’s Gamble

Posted on December 3, 2011 by ikefriday

Michele Bachmann believes she is the best candidate for the job.  She should, she’s running.  However, unlike the two front runners, Bachmann has chosen not to differentiate herself based on ideas, but instead to attack the front runners as being more liberal as she is.  Her most recent target is Newt Gingrich, but she can [...]

Will Cain Pull A Clinton, or a Biden. Will We Find Out Today?

Posted on December 3, 2011 by Kempite

   In a matter of a month Cain has gone from 31% to 8% in Iowa and while he had some of his best fundraising of the campaign in the days immediately following an initial anonymous accusation of sexual harassment, that rally around effect slowly faded after additional charges continued to surface.  But the money really stopped [...]

Cain’s Area 51 Response to Tabloid Reporting

Posted on December 1, 2011 by ikefriday

Herman Cain may not be able to salvage his campaign after issuing a notice that he is reconsidering his run.  Nothing says you have skeletons in your closet more than jumping in front of the closet door and shouting “Ok, I’m done!” when people get close to it.  And it’s truly a shame.  Whether or [...]

Is the Cain Train Still Running?

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Kempite

 I began writing this post three days ago.  The thinking behind it came to me when I suddenly realized that we had not heard anything substantive, from or about the Cain campaign in almost two weeks.  I  began to think that in the case of Herman Cain, no news is bad news.  After he vaulted to the [...]

Affair Story Could Change Minds

Posted on November 28, 2011 by ikefriday

Herman Cain may not have impressed pundits with his handling of the sexual harassment and assault charges that were leveled at him with no proof, and in some cases no names attached to the victims.  But he has managed to keep many of his loyal supporters from losing faith.  Support from Cain’s wife and his [...]
