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 [...]

Iowa’s Mold Breaker Might Matter

Posted on January 2, 2012 by ikefriday

We are discovering the 2012 election cycle dynamic every day. One thing we have learned already is that things that didn’t matter last week are crucial this week. The thing we are learning this past week is that money matters, as Mitt Romney surrogates bought waves of negative airtime, Ron Paul bought Michele Bachmann’s Iowa [...]

Lessons From History

Posted on December 30, 2011 by mduminiak

There is a saying often attributed to Mark Twain that goes, ‘History does not repeat itself but it does rhyme.’ Any fools with a nostalgia for the late 70′s learned the truth of that in the past few years. Being President is about more than smiling and speaking in grand platitudes. It is a harsh [...]

Iowa Last Minute Insanity

Posted on December 29, 2011 by ikefriday

Ron Paul Buys Bachmann’s Campaign Chair Bachmann campaign chair in Iowa, Kent Sorensen, has jumped ship as Bachmann becomes the latest candidate to contract the deadly disease AIDES. AIDES (former aides to be exact) have already helped bring down Herman Cain’s campaign and have hurt Newt Gingrich’s campaign. Now, with Sorensen opting for the bigger [...]

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 Huntsman-Gingrich debate verdict: Take a second look at Huntsman

Posted on December 12, 2011 by worldviewtonight

Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman and former Speaker Newt Gingrich met Monday in a one-on-one debate in a Lincoln-Douglas style format where each candidate was given five uninterrupted minutes on each topic related to foreign policy and national security during the 90-minute debate at the St. Anselm Institute of Politics, in New Hampshire.

Paths to Victory

Posted on December 9, 2011 by ikefriday

I have heard recently several conservative commentators marvel about how Newt has risen to the top and stayed there and how Mitt has never gotten over 30%. It shouldn’t be a surprise. I explained it all months ago. I’ve said as long ago as this that Mitt is in deep trouble. He looked pretty good [...]

Positively Entertainment?

Posted on December 6, 2011 by ikefriday

Earlier this election season, Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain sat down in a one on one debate that displayed Newt’s intellectualism and fast thinking, and Cain’s graciousness. It’s starting to look like Newt will have a shot at another one on one debate as only he and Rick Santorum have agreed to The Donald’s debate [...]

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 [...]

****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 [...]

Jon Huntsman – Manchurian Candidate to Washington President?

Posted on December 2, 2011 by worldviewtonight

Former Ambassador to China and Utah Governor Jon Huntsman has been rarely talked about when it comes to contenders for the Republican Party Presidential nomination. Huntsman is often referred to as the other the moderate candidate, Huntsman’s disadvantage is because he has served his country abroad in a number of high-level government positions under both [...]

The GOP Debate Gauntlet – Deciding The Nominee Or Face Time For Media Hounds?

Posted on November 26, 2011 by jsmashmouth

Foreign Policy Reveals Different Strengths

Posted on November 23, 2011 by ikefriday

Whether or not you think the GOP has a strong field, one thing is for sure. Any of these candidates would be better than Obama when it comes to foreign policy. That came across clearly from more moderate voices like Jon Huntsman in addition to the two front runners. Overall it was a great performance [...]

Thanksgiving Family Forum Review

Posted on November 19, 2011 by ikefriday

The GOP candidates faced something Saturday night that they haven’t seen in a long time, a friendly moderator. In a round table discussion without buzzers, all but one of today’s contenders shared personal stories, tears, and their faith. It was a very personalizing debate where Americans got to see these candidates discuss the issues facing [...]

As Predicted

Posted on November 14, 2011 by ikefriday

Newt is finally getting to taste the view at the top. In the latest Public Policy Polling poll, Newt has climbed to the top, edging out Cain and Romney. In fact, in this poll Newt was the only candidate with noticeable upward mobility. Both Cain and Romney saw declines, while Perry slipped far closer to [...]

And that’s time

Posted on November 12, 2011 by ikefriday

In a short hour and a half, made up of minute responses and thirty second followups, the GOP candidates once again took the stage to answer questions from semi-respectful moderators. In a debate most looked forward to by Ron Paul fans, Paul received very little time. We have seen pretty much all there is to [...]
