These Debates Could Be Game Changers

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 [...]

Iowa Recap

Romney won, Bachmann quit, Santorum is rising, Paul is maintaining his status quo, Newt is struggling, Perry has faith, and Huntsman….who?  Iowa recapped: Mitt Romney Mitt Romney won in Iowa. Honestly?  No big deal. Romney will gain momentum from winning, but when people look at the numbers they will realize that if Michele Bachmann wasn’t [...]

Early Demises and Second Chances

Mitt Beats Obama in Rassmussen Poll Over the past week, Rassmussen conducted three Presidential matchup polls, the most recent being between Romney and Obama.  Romney easily won the poll contest by 45% to 39%.  What is significant is who struggled in the polls earlier that week.  Bachmann lost with 35% to Obama’s 48%, and Gingrich [...]

New Polling May Indicate That Gingrich Peaked Too Early and that Romney is the Consistent Candidate

   Some recent state polls in Iowa and News Hampshire offer mixed results for Newt Gingrich, encouraging news for Jon Huntsman, and great news for Mitt Romney.

Who Would Be a Stronger Candidate Against President Obama? Romney or Gingrich?

    Whether people realize it or not, the Iowa Caucuses must be consider a pretty wide open contests.  Gingrich, Romney and Paul, may be looked at right now as the candidates with the best shot at taking first place in that contest.  But given the uniquness of Iowa and the complexities of caucus elections, it is not [...]

Paths to Victory

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 [...]

Debunking Newt Mythology

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 [...]

Rasmussen Shows Gingrich Over Obama

In what may be a bad sign ultimately for Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich has overtaken Barack Obama in a hypothetical poll for the 2012 General Election.  Newt 45, Obama 43 is the Rasmussen headline. Certainly this is bad news for Barack Obama.  Gingrich has a great deal of distance to cover in order to win [...]

Which Republican Presidential Candidate is Most Capable of Beating Obama in a Debate?

   While many have given the Republican presidential debates little credit for shedding any new light on the 2012 Republican presidential candidates, some candidates have found them to have been a make or break proposition for the success or failure of their campaigns.   And while more than a dozen of these G.O.P. presidential debates there [...]

Voters See Little Chance of an Effective Third Party Presidential Candidate in 2012

   We recently wondered out loud about the chances of another  Theodore Roosevelt, Bullmoose-like candidate entering the fray?  Or about another Eugene Debs-like socialist?  And with many Republicans seemingly not yet very excited by any of the horses they have to bet on, we discussed the possibility of another Perot or John Anderson candidacy but this time in the [...]

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

As GOP primary voters wind down to the last couple of months before the selection process of a nominee begins there has certainly been no shortage of opportunity for the top polling candidates to get their message out. Is it me or is there a GOP presidential debate every week? For political junkies it is [...]

Gingrich: Too liberal for today’s GOP?

As the battle for Iowa concludes in a few short weeks, we see our republican presidential hopefuls take lessons from Rocky.  All are in overdrive, wanting to be the first to take their winning message to all primary voters and win the nomination.  We have seen polls and debates.  We have heard all commentary from [...]

Rush Hits Newt Again

Six months ago, I wrote an article about Newt Gingrich’s attempt to clarify his views on healthcare.  Newt had gotten himself in trouble when it came out that in 1993 Newt agreed with the Heritage Foundation on an insurance mandate.  At the time, Newt said that he felt there should be a law that made [...]

Ann Coulter Rips Newt, Endorses Romney

In case you wanted to see the laundry list of reasons to stay home in 2012 if Newt gets the nomination, an influential member of the media provided them in a weekly newsletter last night.  No, I am not talking about George Soros.  Believe it or not, Ann Coulter’s signature is on the blade firmly [...]

What are the chances of there being a significant third Party candidate in the 2012 presidential election?

    While Republican presidential prospects look good at the moment, making the defeat of  incumbent President Obama an inevitability will be far from easy.   Regardless of who the GOP presidential nominee ultimately is, they will have to run a solid campaign that reassure voters that they can at least do no worse than the sitting president.  [...]

As Predicted

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 [...]
