While the results are still rolling in, John McCain has won New Hampshire. It looks like Romney will come in second and Huckabee in third. However, McCain’s victory speech is rather boring and disappointing, in my opinion. He has read almost the whole thing. It seems like he has no idea what it says. He [...]
As most of you know, Benazir Bhutto, former Prime Minister of Pakistan and the first female PM in an Islamic state, was assassinated this morning, and al Qaeda is claiming responsibility. I am not going to cover the details of the actual event or the breaking news (Drudge is doing a great job of this, as [...]
Tom Tancredo (R-CO) is going to drop out of the Presidential Race today. The five-term Colorado congressman planned to make the announcement at a news conference in Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak for Mr. Tancredo or his campaign. The next [...]
In the final GOP Debate before January 3rd’s Iowa Caucuses, the format was very different than the last CNN debate. Candidates were only given 30-60 seconds to answer questions. I thought this led to very shallow “sound-bite” answers rather than thoughtful, meaningful answers. 30-60 seconds is no time to answer what you want for lunch, [...]
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich commented yesterday on Mike Huckabee’s shot at the GOP Nomination: Gingrich said Huckabee “is doing an amazing job. The more people watch him, the more they believe in him. ‘He’s very comfortable with himself’ is the phrase I hear most often.” “People tend to underestimate him. This is [...]
Fred Thompson answered that question exceedingly well on Charlie Rose’s show. Redstate has an excellent article. I will take some parts from it, but take a couple minutes and go read the whole thing. Rose asks, “You constantly say in this campaign that you are a conservative. What does that mean today?” Here was Thompson’s [...]
Almost a week after the CNN/YouTube/ScrewYou Debate, Mike Huckabee has pulled into a first place tie with Rudy Giuliani, nationally. This is according to the latest Rasmussen Poll. Both Huckabee and Giuliani are at 18%, but the other candidates in the top five are not worse than 12%. So, the biggest news outside of Huckabee [...]
According to an article on MSNBC, Fred Thompson says he must finish in the top three in Iowa. “I probably don’t have to win, but I have to do better than [fourth], and I’m planning on doing better than that. …We’re about where we need to be right now. We haven’t spent as much time [...]
Some quick comments on last night’s CNN/YouTube Debate. I once again thought Mike Huckabee did very well and probably won the debate. A survey of Florida voters and Iowa voters echoed this. You can find that poll HERE. I also thought Mitt Romney did pretty well, except for his stumble over the question of whether [...]
Right Wing News has a good post about Trent Lott’s resignation and the future of the leadership for Republicans. Here is an excerpt from the interview he had with a high ranking Senate aide: Anonymous: I think it shakes out like this: Jon Kyl to Whip. Kay Bailey Hutchinson to Conference Chair. John Cornyn to [...]
