Mitt Romney is dropping out today.  I really didn’t think he would.  He is technically “suspending” his campaign, which means he’ll hang on to his delegates in order to broker them at the convention.  That means to me he plans on being involved in a future administration.  Possibly, I would think, positioning himself as the [...]

It’s finally here.  If you listen to media pundits, Obama’s got this in a landslide.  If you look at the polls, Clinton’s got this in a landslide.  I can’t wait to see how the media/polls difference is explained off again.  ( Stolen election?  Bad exit poll data? )   Bottom line, I think the media LOVES [...]

A lot has been made of Iowa’s results.  Very little has been made of Wyoming’s results.  And, a LOT is being made of New Hampshire’s.  But, depending on which party you’re a member of, there has been either one or two votes trying to decide who the party’s candidate will be next fall.  A lot [...]

Lost in the debates last night, as well as the sports all over the networks, is the fact there was yet another caucus.  Mitt Romney won Wyoming.  This barely merited a blurb on Fox and not much more than that anywhere else.  Unlike Iowa, this one wasn’t close.  Romney got 67% of the vote, Thompson [...]

Last night Iowa held their caucus.  This is the quickie breakdown of how the candidates did:
For the Republicans:

52 got 34%
61 got 25%
65 got 13%
71 got 13%
72 got 10%

The others either didn’t really run or were pretty much already out of it.
For the Democrats:

46 got 38%
55 got 30%
60 got 29%

The rest either got basically nothing or [...]

As we near the Iowa caucus, the guns are coming out on all sides.  The best battle seems to be brewing between Huckabee and Romney.  Starting a week or two ago, Romney started firing at Huckabee.  Huckabee reacted, but didn’t fire back.  Yesterday Huckabee held a news conference to announce a negative campaign he had [...]

I read this first thing this morning:
Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, asks in an upcoming article, “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?”
I have real issues with this for several reasons.
First of all, what does this have to do with being President of the United States of [...]

Foxnews ran this rather odd headline:
Romney Defends Straw Poll Win
I read the article.  Nowhere in it does Romney “defend” his win.  He explains his take on it, which pretty much mirrors mine, if the other candidates thought they could win in Iowa, they would have participated moreso than they did.  However, the bottom line is [...]
