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 [...]

Positively Entertainment?

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

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 [...]

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 [...]

  This morning’s White House 2012 Morning Memo briefs you on  Rick Perry’s top ten list from his appearance on Letterman, Herman Cain’s defamation representation, opinions on whether he just beginning to take a hit on all the accusations, a New Hampshire presidential candidate forum, Romney’s plans for Iowa, Occupy protesters crashing a Bachmann event, and a few other tidbits [...]

Cain’s strong numbers baffle all but voters

When discussing republican presidential candidate and front-runner Herman Cain, the reaction one receives is contingent upon with whom you speak.  When listening to established political pundits, the are miffed.  They are shocked at his seemingly sudden rise.  They have no explaination for it.  They attempt to explain it based on their previous experience with campaigns and [...]

Where is America’s Fighting Spirit? Ending the Malaise Presidency

These days it seems Captain America has been overpowered by MalaiseMan. President Obama is MalaiseMan. He told a fundraiser on Tuesday, October 25 that America is in decline, which is the central theme of his presidency. People are buying it too, which is what the Occupy Wall Street movement and Tea Party is a symptom [...]

Wednesday’s Wit and Words from the Campaign Trail, 10/26/11

New Fox News poll places Cain on top, King Barack makes his school loan bailout official, Perry picks up prominent endorsement, will skip debates, and plays politics with Confederate history, Herman Cain shows strength in individual states, Newt begins to see more money come his way, Acorn is back, and a discussion of how well Mitt Romney can ultimately [...]

Newt Gingrich: Phoenix Rising or Leader Emeritus? Can Newt be the Next Frontrunner?

    While Mitt Romney maintains a steady 25% in most Republican presidential polls, the polling numbers for other candidates have seen wide fluctuations that provide them with five minutes of fame in frontrunner status. That has been a phenomenon mainly to the desire of the G.O.P. base to find a viable alternative to Romney that they can get excited about. For [...]

Time to thin the herd

All is not lost!  Yes, it was an ugly night for several GOP candidates.  Newt’s frustration with the format is certainly understandable.  It made for great television, but it was a bad debate.  However, there were some glimmers of hope, starting with the Vegas Champ… Newt Gingrich.  I didn’t give Newt the win last time [...]

A Dismal Fight for Relevance

The GOP Presidential debate in Las Vegas highlighted not only some of the candidates’ fight for relevance, but the fight for relevance for many voters in the nation. Nevada joined the growing number of States moving up their primary election. The voters in many States have felt as though their votes did not matter. Key [...]

Yes, he can?

In the volatility of the Republican 2012 primary, one thing is for sure.  Calling this race now would be like predicting the Superbowl in September.  How ’bout them Eagles.  Of course, I called the Eagles faltering before the season started.  I’m usually pretty good with my football picks.  So, allow me to apply some of [...]

Welcome to the top, Herman Cain

The most recent debate is over, and Herman Cain is discovering what Rick Perry felt like when he was the front runner.  The way the debate went, there was clear recognition of Cain, Romney and Perry as front runners.  The other candidates almost seemed to be helping in the vetting process as though they were [...]

The Field Is Set: And Herman Cain Could Win

Sarah Palin has now announced she will not be running.  It appears the 2012 GOP Primary is ready to kick off.  So you heard it here first: barring a major disqualifying gaffe, Herman Cain will win the 2012 primary.  Here’s why. Ok, seriously.  No one knows at this point how this  is going to go [...]

Social Conservatives Split As Predicted

Months ago, I laid the framework for next year’s primary election with my blog entitled “The Neapolitan Party“.  In it, my theory was that Republican voters would fall on three lines, Social Conservative, Fiscal Conservative, and Libertarian.  Cain’s rise and Perry’s fall is continued proof that this template is accurate.  It also is bad news [...]
