It was a sign we were getting further up the school when [...]

CPAC and Sarah Palin mark a turn to unity

Posted on February 11, 2012 by dfcowan

The most remarkable event of today’s CPAC was Sarah Palin endorsing unity. Instead of showing her support for any one candidate, she called for unity, saying that whoever the nominee is the GOP must defeat Obama. Whoever the nominee is conservatives must work together, she told an ecstatic audience, and the nation will have [...]

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 [...]

Mitt Flashes His Credentials with a Smile: See His CPAC Speech in its Entirety Here

Posted on February 10, 2012 by dfcowan

Will Romney show his conservative rivals the door? A smiling Mitt Romney came to CPAC today with one thing on his mind, the need to prove his conservative credentials to the base of conservative activists. Telling the audience that he knew many of them came to conservatism via Hayek or Edmund Burke, Romney said [...]

Is Washington alive to the Sound of Santorum?

Posted on February 10, 2012 by dfcowan

Rick Santorum appeared on stage with his family, introducing them he said they were not the von Trapp family and they weren’t about to sing. However as he set out on his speech to offer sweet music to conservative ears, he seemed to stumble a little, the speakers version of being out of tune. But, [...]

Obama Raised Taxes on Buffet’s Secretary!

Posted on January 25, 2012 by ikefriday

Populism Gone Wrong Last night, Warren Buffet’s secretary occupied a place of honor as an invited guest of the Obama’s to the State of the Union address. She got to sit with the First Lady, sort of like the Iraqi woman who was invited by Bush and showed off her ink stained finger for voting. [...]

There Will Only Be One American Running for President In 2012

Posted on January 25, 2012 by dfcowan

There will only be one American for president in 2012, and I am not talking about President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. The 2012 election is in effect a Referendum on American Capitalism. If the Republicans choose Mitt Romney, as they surely must, he will represent American Capitalism. President Barack Obama will represent Europeanized State [...]

Capitalism a Casualty of Campaign

Posted on January 10, 2012 by ikefriday

What is happening to the Republican field? It made some sense when Cain was attacked for being a businessman with no foreign policy experience and no political experience. That was perhaps a fair shot at an outsider businessman candidate. Then came the attacks on Newt for having Freddie Mac as a client. Newt not only [...]

Early Demises and Second Chances

Posted on December 30, 2011 by ikefriday

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Rush Hits Newt Again

Posted on November 18, 2011 by ikefriday

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 [...]
