Last night Mitt Romney endorsed his “opponent,” the Arizona Senator John McCain. The wording of the first sentence was quite amusing:
Republican campaign dropout Mitt Romney endorsed John McCain for the party’s presidential nomination and asked his national convention delegates to swing behind the likely nominee.
It’s almost like the AP is comparing Romney to a high [...]

Quoting a Rush Limbaugh interview with Time,
“You know, Romney was up ten points in Florida until two things happened — until McCain started with this bulls–t about Romney being in favor of a time-line for withdrawal — he did that on a Saturday… It was a Saturday he made that claim. So it’s three days before the [...]

Tonight, one Republican and one Democrat made a clean sweep of all the states up for grabs. John McCain and Barack Obama won with extensive margins in the states. What does this mean for Obama and McCain? For Obama this is most likely a statement to the Clinton Campaign saying,” Oh yeah, guess what? We’re [...]

A quote from me last evening:
Mitt Romney, drop out. Save your cash.
Then he makes a decision late last night to drop out? What are the odds he doesn’t make that decision the night of Super Tuesday, but last night instead? We can always dream!

There is only one place for the conservatives in the Republican party to turn to now. It is another presidential campaign. It is one that has been under the radar for most of this race. It is a campaign that has tried to start a change in the American mindset.
The campaign is that of Dr. [...]

Mitt Romney is now out of the race for the Republican nomination. His speech at CPAC is on the TIME site.
The end of Mitt Romney’s speech shows a fundamental disagreement I have with him.
I disagree with Senator McCain on a number of issues, as you know. But I agree with him on doing whatever it [...]

In an election cycle that has been filled with bizarre twists and comical changes, like Rudy’s inevitability to him on the verge of losing his own state, then to the rise of Mike Huckabee, and then the complete smashing of his record as Arkansas governor, it is unfortunate to say that the final chapter this [...]

The Republican Party has shown its true roots. It is the party of Lincoln: the same party that abolished Habeas Corpus, that suspended free speech, that attacked states that had the right of secession in 1861.
This party is the same party that elected Theodore Roosevelt, the great Imperialist and big-government activist.
Republican is the name of [...]

I always thought discussions like this would be done in closed rooms where Romney offers Huckabee a VP spot if he drops out, not on network news. Regardless, this is another example of how the primary process is flawed. In order to fix it, you should be able to vote for everyone you feel is [...]

The way it is looking right now for Republicans, Mitt Romney is on the losing path. February 5 will be kind to John McCain. I’m not convinced that McCain will slaughter Romney in the results, though. Huckabee supporters are passionate and will probably stick to their candidate, most likely hurting Mitt Romney the most.
I will [...]

Barack Obama believes he is the one who can beat John McCain in November.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Democratic Sen. Barack Obama sees one of the best arguments for his presidential candidacy in the rise of Republican Sen. John McCain. McCain has become Obama’s favorite punching bag, an easier mark in front of partisan audiences than [...]

Sean Hannity, Rick Santorum, and Laura Ingraham have all endorsed Mitt Romney in the upcoming primaries. The anti-McCain effort is mounting, but their last day to fight McCain is Monday.
Will he carry the day on Super Tuesday? Mitt Romney’s demise is inevitable, I think. He will make a good second on that day, but afterwards [...]

News Shocker: Ron Paul biggest GOP fundraiser last quarter
Well, it’s official, ladies and gentlemen. Believe it or not, Rep. Ron Paul, the 72-year-old Texan who hardly ever gets mentioned in Republican political news and the one-time libertarian who always gets the least time on TV debates if he isn’t barred completely, was, [...]

He is the new face of the Anti-War Movement. His appearance is timely, coming at the dark hour that ushers in new NATO policies of nuclear first-strikes. His advent is heralded by plans to increase the size of our standing army. And the new face of the Anti-War movement greets the latest [...]

Tonight, the reasons why McCain would be a poor president were on full display. Anderson Cooper asked him what would make him a good president on the economic side, and it took McCain just one second to turn the subject back to war, and his national security experience. I’m not sure what being a POW [...]

Looking over John’s post, I had a thought about how the strategy to beat Mitt Romney has come about. Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, and John McCain are either knowingly or unknowingly working together.
All three of these candidates have fought Mitt Romney at some point or another. First, it was Rudy Giuliani against Mitt Romney. The [...]

Romney was pressed on taxes on a radio show, and I want to support him over the others, but he isn’t helping with showings like this, not supporting a major tax decrease. When the pressure was upped by the host, Romney had to conveniently leave. A real low tax, low spending, small government radio guy [...]

Super Tuesday – Something for Everybody
Mike Huckabee is like the energizer bunny: he keeps on going and going. Huckabee won Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and West Virginia showing his Southern strength. For Romney it was a night to stay alive a little longer, but why can’t that Huckabee fellow would go away. Romney won Arkansas, Alaska, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, North [...]
