My Analysis 2008-02-07 14:03:00 So Mitt has decided to suspend his bid for GOP nominee. This comes as a huge disappointment to his supporters and to McCain opposers alike, but all the same, after Super Tuesday played out we all kind of saw it coming. Super Tuesday was a beast in its own though. From West Virginia shenanagens to California yada yada, it was a serious shock that this is the system you guys trust to choose your leaders. In retrospect, I think it's beneficial to take a look at what went wrong. Romney missed a few key opportunities to capitalize, sure, but I don't think anyone will honestly argue that America really wasn't ready for a Mormon president, and they have no idea why not. CNN did a poll after Florida that found that 12% of those who voted for McCain felt that he represented them on the issues Read more:Analysis
Good Morning GOP Super Tuesday Voters. Get Up, We Have Work To Do 2008-02-05 08:00:00 So did you have a good sleep? I sure hope so. Well, you better get up, today is a big day. You've gotta eat breakfast, go to work, oh ya, and most importantly vote for Mitt Romney. You see, there have been some "developments" over the past while that you may or may not be aware of. It seems that a Democrat Spy has infiltrated the Republican party and actually managed to get on the ballot. We don't know much about him except that he has a bad temper and shares political views that closely resemble those of Hillary Clinton. Witnesses describe him as old, maybe around 100 years old, balding, with a laugh that has been described as a mix between a witch cackle, caveman grunt, and a prepubescent hyena. Apparently his mission is to take enough of the GOP vote as to destroy Reagan's prove Read more:Morning

Romney Hottness..... mmmm daddy 2008-02-04 23:43:00 The latest Reuters/CSPAN polls put Romney
8 points up in California. This race keeps getting better, as the Reuters/CSpan is one of the more respected polls out there. This means that things may be much closer than anticipated and conservatives may be coming to their senses. To be honest, after Florida Romney was hurt. The Romney strategy feeds on momentum and winning one here or there wasn't doing it. By shifting his strategy to a more longevity focus, he has adjusted to the times and has renewed his campaigns momentum by allowing conservatives to get a taste of John McCain as the front runner, surprise surprise he is not what America thought they were getting. The longer McCain sits in the spotlight the higher Romney will climb in the polls. So Florida may be a blessing in disguise
The Great Rush Limbaugh Endorses Mitt Romney? 2008-02-04 20:20:00 On the final day before voters hit the polls for Super Tuesday, Rush Limbaugh
said the following:"Now, I think now, based on the way the campaign has shaken out, that there probably is a candidate on our side who does embody all three legs of the conservative stool, and that's Romney
. The three stools or the three legs of the stool are national security/foreign policy, the social conservatives, and the fiscal conservatives. The social conservatives are the cultural people. The fiscal conservatives are the economic crowd: low taxes, smaller government, get out of the way." Now I've been following Rush for a while now and he hasn't really endorsed anyone. It was obvious for a while that he liked Fred Thompson, but he's obviously out of the picture. Today, however, he made the closest t Read more:Great

GOP Voters Can Learn a Lesson From These Animals 2008-02-04 17:56:00 This is one of the coolest wildlife videos I have seen, and the best part is that it represents what I hope will happen tomorrow on Super Tuesday. Take a look and keep in mind the roles that each of the animals in the video play.Lions - John McCainCrocodile - Mike HuckabeeBaby Wildebeest - The Conservative CoalitionHeard of Wildebeest - Conservative voters lead by Mitt RomneyYou see, the Wildebeests represent conservative voters. They are walking around minding their own business when suddenly a ravenous Lion, John McCain (could have also been played effectively by a rhino), takes hold of the vulnerable baby wildebeest (the conservative coalition). The lions care nothing about the fate of the wildebeest. They only want a quick meal to satisfy their own personal hunger. This is like Mc Read more:Voters

The Words of a Desperate Huckabee 2008-02-04 09:35:00 Just a few weeks ago Mike Huckabee
was calling Romney's campaign desperate, among other things. Now the tables are turned and Huckabee's popularity is waning rapidly. Even though he should have the decency to drop out of the race, he won't. He continues to campaign against logic and common sense. The only theory that anyone can come up with is that he is trying to stop Mitt Romney, either because he doesn't like Mormons, or because he wants something from McCain later. In any case, he is still up to his old antics and is as slimy as ever, only now his tone of confidence has been replaced with one of desperation and weakness. The following video shows what I am talking about. Unfortunately I cannot embed so you'll have to follow the link, or copy and paste it into a separate wind Read more:Words

If the Giants Can Do It, So Can Mitt Romney! 2008-02-03 20:58:00 Tonight watching the Super Bowl, as I usually do, I was routing for the underdog. The New England Patriots went into the Bowl with a perfect 18-0 record. They were the clear favourite going into the final against the New York Giants
. Almost everyone predicted a Patriot win, and until the final minutes that's what it looked like it would be. But with less than a minute left, Eli Manning threw a pass, that I'm sure will become legendary and will be played countless times tomorrow on television and on the internet, and hit Plaxico Burress for the touchdown to win the game 17-14. What happened tonight was spectacular and reminds of what I believe can and will happen to Mitt Romney
, not at the Super Bowl but Super Tuesday. Until recently, John McCain was the clear favourite in the polls.
Ok Republicans, Enough Joking Around ... Let's Get Serious. 2008-02-03 17:37:00 Well, the Republican party has had a few weeks to mess around, but now it's time to get down to business and elect both a conservative and someone who will hold the Republican party together.John McCain is NOT this person. He is a living, walking, talking joke (and liar) if he really thinks that he is a Republican. That is like saying that Rosie O'Donnell is lady-like ... or William Hung is a good singer... or that Roland Martin of CNN makes good points, doesn't have a weird head shape and isn't going bald ... man I hate that guy. The point is that McCain cares nothing for the Republican Party, and even less for the conservatives that make up the majority of its base. He is just using the party as a vehicle to prove to America that he isn't a failure (having lost past elections). He Read more:Republicans

Romney Wins Maine - Race and Delegate Update 2008-02-02 23:32:00 Romney won in Maine
on Saturday by a landslide (he got 52% of the vote). Of course the media won't make a big deal of it because Romney won (it's only a big deal when someone they support wins). Apparently they had great voter turnout, and in some areas the biggest since Ronald Reagan was running in the 80's. The best part is that McCain got two huge (or at least he thinks they are) endorsements from two Maine Senators and is still getting slain by Romney. Heck, Ron Paul is in a close race with McCain for second (good job Ron)! Well done Maine ... you are an example for the rest of us and vote like true conservatives should ... you know ... for conservatives (not male versions of Hilary Clinton)! Maine has 21 delegates up for grabs (but 3 are unpledged). So Romney took all 18 availa Read more:Romney

There May Never Be Another Reagan, But Romney Is The Conservative Choice This Time Around 2008-02-02 18:26:00 This an article written by a guest Contributor, Joshua Lawson, who is a fellow Canadian supporting Mitt. He is from Toronto and is an Evangelical Protestant."The Second Death of Ronald Reagan

is no Ronald Wilson Reagan.In fact, I think that conservatives will probably never see the likes of such a sublime, warm, and inspiring politician ever again.Reagan's electoral history is the stuff of magic. In the 1980 and 1984 campaigns he had Democrats cutting ads for him! Ted Kennedy was up there supporting Reagan for goodness sake.

And The War Begins ... Conservative Pundits vs. the MSM 2008-02-01 00:46:00 It seems these days that John McCain has been getting all the juicy endorsements, or at least all the ones from moderate conservatives like Schwarzenegger and Giuliani. He also is heavily endorsed by the liberal mainstream media, including the NY Times. Due to his new found popularity, many consider him a shoe-in for the nomination. I'm sorry folks. This race is over. Nothing to see here. Just go home.....HEY! Just wait a minute though ... if all these people are endorsing Johnny boy, who is endorsing Romney? Well the answer is not as obvious, because unlike Arnold, they didn't star in movies with huge explosions and poor acting. Unbeknownst to many Americans is the huge conservative movement, made up of conservative radio talk shows, extremely popular bloggers, and even a few ma
Ronald Reagan's Son On John McCain 2008-02-01 00:29:00 I saw this article on Elect Romney in 2008 and had to share it:Michael Reagan
, the eldest son of Ronald
Reagan, is heard daily by over 5 million listeners via his nationally syndicated talk radio program, “The Michael Reagan Show.” This is some pretty powerful language. Michael Reagan is one of many conservatives who sees Republicans making a huge mistake by supporting John McCain
. Governor Romney is buying ads in key states and is fighting to the finish. Let’s continue to fight for him.This is what he said about McCain: "Until last night, when I watched the Republican debate, I had no idea how much John McCain
dislikes me and just about everybody else but Rudy Giuliani, who if you believe The New York Times is a pretty good hater himself. As I watched McCain and Governor Romney go a Read more:Ronald Reagan
The Dems Debate Reaffirmed Why I support Romney and Conservatism 2008-01-31 20:25:00 Watching the Democratic debate tonight, I realized three things: First, I realized how much I disagree with some of the Democratic views expressed (it was more of a reaffirmation than a revelation). Conservatism
, even though it doesn't seem so at first, is about hope. It is about lifting people up and giving them confidence and self-respect. To those who truly understand, it is far more merciful to people that liberalism.Second, I was impressed with Barrack Obama's ability to not only listen to his opponent, but give her respect (at least at this particular debate). This is the polar opposite to McCain who only showed pure hatred, immaturity, lack of humility and inability to talk about the issues, instead evading tough questions by taking shots at Romney
or stating who endorsed him. Read more:Debate
Romney/McCain Strategies Revealed in Post-Florida Speeches 2008-01-30 08:55:00 Needless to say, I was disappointed by John McCain
's victory last night in Florida
. But what disappoints me even more is John McCain's character and integrity, or at least the lack thereof. Back in 2000 when McCain lost to Bush in South Carolina, despite his heralded victory in New Hampshire, many attributed his loss to last minute lies and gossip about him. He was so angry about how unfairly his opposition was fighting that he made a speech that offended many social conservatives, implying that his loss was partly because of them and their bias against him. A few years later was a key player in passing the bill McCain-Feingold, which put major restrictions on how candidates could raise money and limited their ads to the issues, among other things. Many social conservatives felt and Read more:Romney

Florida, What Were You Thinking?! 2008-01-29 22:52:00 Unbelievably, more of the people in Florida
that said the economy is their number one issue voted for McCain (38%) than Romney (32%). The question is WHY??? Dirty last minute politics can be the only logical answer. McCain not only admitted himself that he doesn’t know much about how the economy, but it becomes even more blatantly apparent in his past record (voting against the Bush tax cuts) and in his responses at debates and in interviews. On You Tube and countless blogs there is a myriad of evidence that irrefutably displays his weakness on economic issues. His position on this important issue to voters was so bad that he (the honest, positive, “straight talker”) had to lie about it during the last debate. Yet somehow in Florida his incompetence, hypocrisy and dirty tricks w
McCain Doesn't "Straight Talk", He "Talks Straight" Out Of His ... (use your imagination) 2008-01-28 14:31:00 Does anyone remember John McCain
saying any of this? Most of it was said only a few weeks ago. "Tonight we sure showed them what a comeback looks like," McCain said. "When the pundits declared us finished, I told them, 'I'm going to New Hampshire, where the voters don't let you make their decision for them.' And when they asked, 'How are you going to do it? You're down in the polls. You don't have the money,' I answered, 'I'm going to New Hampshire, and I'm going to tell people the truth.'" (Boston Globe)McCain said, he was proof that "negative campaigns don't work"--a clear shot at Mitt Romney (Newsweek)I think Senator McCain has said it best, "we are going to continue to run a positive campaign."

Latest Rasmussen Poll Looks Promising For Romney 2008-01-27 15:15:00 Not only does the latest poll conducted by Rasmussen
show Mitt Romney
leading Florida with 33% over McCain with 27%, but it gets even better when only conservative voters are polled, with Romney at 42%, almost doubling the next candidate, McCain, at only 22%. This is an integral stat, since only Republicans are allowed to vote in the Florida caucuses, unlike some of the other open primaries.Looking at the issues specifically, here are the polling results:Those concerned with the economy most - Romney 37%, McCain 33%Those concerned with national security/war in Iraq most - Romney 31%, McCain 31%Those who are concerned with immigration most - Romney 63%, McCain 7%The poll also revealed Romney as the candidate that voters thought to be the most electable, with 76% saying they believe him to Read more:Looks
Romney - McCain Race In Florida May Not Be a Close As We Think 2008-01-26 23:01:00 As we saw in New Hampshire with Hillary Clinton's surprise victory over Barack Obama (who was supposed to win by a 10% margin), polls aren't always the most accurate. Admittedly, though, they are fairly "on" most of the time. However, according to the ACT Blog article "A Problem in the RCP Average", Romney
may actually have a bigger lead in Florida
than the major polls are telling us. I have updated the numbers since the above mentioned article was written. This is the average of all the latest polls (taken from the site realclearpolitics.com), which is far more accurate than any of the polls on their own. On average you can see that Romney and McCain
are virtually tied for the lead. I have updated the numbers since the above mentioned article was written. Rudy Giulia Read more:Close
You’d Have To Be a McCainiac To Vote For John McCain, Or Just Really Drunk 2008-01-25 19:47:00 John McCain
isn’t putting the “hip” back in “hypocrite”. This cranky, ill-tempered geezer is out showing the world that he is everything BUT a straight talker. Remember when McCain and his boyfriend Huckabee were tag teaming Mitt Romney saying that he was being too negative on the campaign trail, when all he was doing was showing everyone their dismal/liberal records (something important to know)? Well, now Saint McCain is out their doing the exact same thing to Mitt. Today he bashed Mitt publicly saying that he’s a manager, not a leader (obviously implying that he is). This hypocrisy has been going on for quite a while now. It’s convenient that McCain can be the nice guy who doesn’t attack (and criticizes others for attacking) when it makes him look good, but quickly turns Read more:John McCain
Romney Enjoys Four Point Lead In Florida before Tonight's MSNBC Debate 2008-01-24 17:50:00 Going into tonight's Florida
debate (which airs live on MSNBC
at 9pm eastern and streams live at MSNBC.com), Mitt Romney

This lead comes in spite of the media, not surprisingly, shooting most of its coverage John McCain's way.Check out the article "Romney, Obama lead in upcoming primaries" at MSNBC.com for more details.

Can One Voter Really Make a Difference? 2008-01-23 22:42:00 If I came up to you and offered you to pick between the following two choices, which would you take?Option #1 - I will give you a million dollars cash right now, on the spot, no strings attached.Option #2 - I will give you a penny today, which you can bring back to me tomorrow to trade me for two pennies (double). The next day you could bring me the two pennies, at which time I would give you four. This doubling would continue for 31 days. For example, this is what the first 10 days would look like.Day 1 - 1 centDay 2 - 2 centsDay 3 - 4 centsDay 4 - 8 centsDay 5 - 16 centsDay 6 - 32 centsDay 7 - 64 centsDay 8 - 1.28 dollarsDay 9 - 2.56 dollarsDay10- 5.12 dollarsContinued for another 21 daysYou may have seen something like this before, but it is not surprising that many people would take Read more:Voter
