Romney Outpacing Obama as Conservatives Relent

Posted on April 17, 2012 by ikefriday

With Santorum out of the race and Gingrich out of money, social conservatives are beginning to embrace their fate. The last man standing between us and four more years of the failed Obama administration is Mitt Romney. Gallup and Rassmussen are giving Romney a lead over Obama, and the Gallup lead is increasing. This has [...]

Romney needs to call Obama’s Bluffet….

Posted on April 16, 2012 by dfcowan

We know that the Bluffet, sorry Buffet, rule is a motif for President’s class warfare, and more warning shots will be fired when Congress returns today from a two-week recess to a test vote on the rule, which would impose a minimum 30 percent tax rate on income over $1 million. The Bluffett tax [...]

Bad News for Romney?

Posted on April 10, 2012 by ikefriday

Romney declared today to be a good day for his campaign. The media easily agreed, following their template that Romney is already the nominee. However, the good news may end up being all for Gingrich. The long dead in the water conservative finally has what he has needed for a second resurgence: no competition for the [...]

Democrats Seeking to Neutralize Romney on Economy

Posted on March 22, 2012 by ikefriday

An Improving Economy Means Republicans Need a ‘Plan B’ To Beat Obama This is the headline of a Morgan Korn article at the Daily Ticker, where he explains exactly what I wrote on March 2nd, when I said It’s Not About the Economy, Stupid. So despite the high gas prices, the lower homesales in February, [...]

To Beat Obama, Romney Must Be More Than Businessman

Posted on March 12, 2012 by I.M. Citizen

I understand the economy is a big deal. OK, huge deal. As a result, the Romney machine has outlined the distinction between Romney as businessman and Obama as not. I get it. But for Romney to win the election he must be more than a businessman. The Romney campaign’s obsession with his business background strikes [...]

Ohio Made Super Tuesday a Superficial Nail Biter

Posted on March 7, 2012 by Kempite

While Rick Santorum’s Super Tuesday results were far better than predicted, they did little to make a difference other than in the headlines we will be reading and in the cable news teasers that we will be hearing. While it is true that the results from the ten state Super Tuesday contest can allow one t0 go so far as to [...]

Is Mitt Bouyant? Or Santorum Sinking?

Posted on March 5, 2012 by ikefriday

The day before Super Tuesday, Mitt Romney is looking good. It’s looking like he will take the key state of Ohio and could take Tennessee. Both of these are very close races. But Romney’s ascendency back to the top is marked by Santorum’s dive in the polls, and Newt’s resurgence again. Newt will win Georgia, [...]

It’s NOT About the Economy, Stupid

Posted on March 2, 2012 by ikefriday

Republicans are preparing to come to a rugby game in their best golf pants. The world is different than it was in 2008 when we were caught with a war candidate going into an election that was all about the economy. This time we have the best business man money can buy and we are [...]

Why Drudge is Headlining Newt

Posted on February 29, 2012 by ikefriday

Romney barely eeked out a win in his homestate Michigan. Newt barely registered. Judging from Arizona and Michigan, which Newt conceded before they even started, Newt is less likely than Ron Paul to be the nominee. So why is Drudge front paging a 2% Gallup poll increase for Newt as a third comeback? Simple, Drudge [...]

Santorum’s Campaign Against Himself

Posted on February 28, 2012 by jsmashmouth

Being a political junkie I do spend time checking out the campaigns of any and all candidates I can manage to follow in local, state and federal races. It’s not necessarily the politics I enjoy as much as the campaigns themselves. I enjoy strategizing and predicting where, why and what candidates do or will do [...]

Reality Check

Posted on February 27, 2012 by ikefriday

As we head into Michigan and Arizona, the Republican party needs a reality check. Fortunately, here it is: Rick Santorum The media is doing their best to paint Santorum as some sort of radical conservative religious whacko. Hardly. Santorum on social issues is saying what most Republicans are thinking. The thing is, conservatives are scared [...]

Too Bad The Debate Won’t Matter

Posted on February 23, 2012 by ikefriday

It is way too late in the game for the groundswell of Santorum supporters to turn back and take a gamble on Newt. At stake is handing the Republican nomination to an establishment Republican with a liberal tax plan, timid economic plan, and nothing more than a strong business reputation to run on. But after [...]

Is a Romney/Paul Ticket in our Future?

Posted on February 23, 2012 by Jonathan Oman

After the most recent Republican presidential primary debate, the Santorum campaign beganfloating rumors that the Ron Paul and Mitt Romney campaigns had teamed up to take out the socially conservative politician. The rumors come at a time when the Michigan campaign is heating up ahead of its February 28th primary election and the candidates are competing for every [...]

Romney Tax Plan Deserves an F

Posted on February 22, 2012 by ikefriday

If we wanted a Liberal, we would just vote for Obama. That should be the clear response from Conservatives after Romney followed up his pledge to raise the minimum wage with a tax plan only a Liberal could love. At first, Romney’s tax plan sounds pretty good. Cut every bracket by 20%, including the top [...]

Romney fighting for political appeal and support in Michigan.

Posted on February 20, 2012 by worldviewtonight

Mitt Romney’s presidential bid enters a real make or break phase this week ahead of the Michigan primary. The GOP campaign has had no less than seven frontrunners in this campaign, and the worrying aspect for the largely organised and heavily financed Romney campaign is his struggle to break through the field. Rick Santorum’s surge [...]

What if Santorum Wins Michigan?

Posted on February 16, 2012 by ikefriday

Rick Santorum is polling just slightly ahead of Romney in Romney’s home state of Michigan. This is significant for more than just that reason. Michigan is a blue state that has seen what the Democrat party can do to an economy. So why is Santorum leading billionaire successful businessman Mitt Romney in a state that [...]
