Mitt Romney

It’s Still A Horse Race! (Update)

February 7, 2012

This evening GOP caucuses in Minnesota, Missouri, and Colorado show that it’s not a done deal for Mitt Romney.  Although Romney at this writing is eking* out a narrow victory in Colorado, Rick Santorum took Minnesota (even though former Gov. Tim Pawlenty has supported Romney since withdrawing from his presidential bid) and Missouri, with a [...]

Dumb and Dumber…

February 4, 2012

I don’t know if Romney’s handlers are just stupid or if the candidate is just being himself and going off script, but come on, having The Donald endorse you the day after you put your foot into it by saying that you don’t care about the poor because they have a safety net; are you [...]

Romney May Win The Battle For The GOP Nomination, But Lose The War For The Presidency

January 15, 2012

Baggage, that’s the operative word in the primary race between Gingrich and  Romney.  Both candidates have baggage that in this year of a populist wave from the weary and shrinking middle class will not appeal to the Democrats won over by Reagan in 1980, nor Independents. Ron Paul won’t gain the nomination because of his [...]

January 9, 2012

Gingrich alluded to this article on Reuters: “Those of us who believe in free markets and those of us who believe that in fact the whole goal of investment is entrepreneurship and job creation would find it pretty hard to justify rich people figuring out clever ways to loot a company, leaving behind 1,700 families without [...]

Obama To Boston Herald: ‘You’re Either Fer Me Or Agin Me’

May 22, 2011

Reminiscent of the 2008 campaign trail, President Obama’s media relationship remains filled with  pettiness.  You may recall his campaign threatened no further access by the television station that asked tough questions of the then V.P. candidate Joe Biden.  It seems that despite years in the White House, experience and maturity have had little effect as [...]
