The Iowa campaign manager for MN Rep. Michele Bachmann, Iowa state senator Kent Sorenson, defected to the Ron Paul campaign. Senator Sorenson was accused by the Bachmann campaign of being in effect bought off by the Paul forces. But another staffer for Bachmann contradicted that claim before being in effect fired by the Bachmann campaign. [...]

Well, it’s down to three. Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. The rest of the Republicans, Rick Santorum, Jon Huntsman, Michele Bachmann and now Rick Perry will not be participating in the Virginia Republican Presidential Primary in 2012. All failed to turn in the required signatures to comply with Virginia Electoral laws. From the Republican Party [...]

Editor’s Note: Put your paws together for Layla the BlogDog. We watched the debate together last night and she decided to write her next post on her take on the Republican field. Last night’s debate was really cool. I learned a lot more about the candidates. After a big meal of some ground up looking [...]

This was a compendium of news in this interesting article about Ron Paul published in Huntington, WV: Presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul has his own fervent army of followers. He advocates bringing the troops home from overseas, and, guess what, Paul has received the most donations of any Presidential candidate from members of the military. [...]

Karl Rove has his face in front of the FoxNews cameras almost every time I turn on the Cable News Channel. Unfortunately, they are identifying Rove as an Analyst. Perhaps a fair and balanced (not to mention honest) description for Rove would be Anti-Perry Pundit. The man has absolutely fallen in hate with the Texas [...]

Paul Simon’s “Slip Slidin’ Away” is replacing Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop (Thinkin’ about Tomorrow)” in the Appropriate Theme Song category. The gloss and sheen has worn off of the Gold Plated Presidential Candidate as the reality of Barack Obama’s clueless administration sets in with American voters. The “Generic” Republican Candidate has been replaced by [...]

Finally, the voting is over and the results have been tabulated. Michele Bachmann took first place and Ron Paul took second152 votes behind! And there was actually a great turnout, which shows that even in Iowa the voters are energized against the current failed occupant of the White House. Some 16,892 paid the $30 to [...]

The world now knows that Rep. Michele Bachmann won the Ames Straw Poll by less than 200 votes over Rep. Ron Paul (4823 to 4671 – it was less than one percent) and it is awful to lose. I hope this does not affect momentum (I was disappointed that former Senator Santorum was gloating over [...]

As we are seven days from the Ames Straw Poll, we have this interesting article from Mother Jones magazine. It’s time for their daily hate for Rep. Bachmann but they actually show that she’s right. Mother Jones basically accuses Bachmann of being nuts because she does not believe in sustainability: “This is their agenda—I know [...]

Here are several exciting stories about the Ames straw poll. Politico sounds like Paul could win: Paul’s straw poll performance is one of the big wild cards in Ames. He drew just 9 percent there in 2007, when he was a far less prominent figure. A Paul victory would be a shock to the system, [...]

I just saw the fundraising numbers for Rep. Bachmann. I actually expected them to be in the 6 to 8 million range. But it was $4.2 million! Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) raised $4.2 million for her presidential campaign in the second quarter, according to her campaign. Half of the second quarter total was raised in [...]

Time for Honest, Courageous Leadership, not Poll-Driven Platitudes Last week when the Washington Post asked George Allen where he stands on the Ryan budget plan – Allen dodged. And yesterday, when the Washington Post asked Tim Kaine how he would’ve voted on the Obama budget – Kaine dodged. Jamie Radtke is not dodging the [...]

I am pleased to see former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson announce for President. I believe the liberty message is served by having more than one messenger. Even unannounced but serious candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann has some Ron Paul characteristics – she was one of the first members of Congress to embrace Paul and his [...]

Here’s how Reuters (I expect better from Reuters) started in about the Iowa homeschooling rally at the state capitol in Des Moines: Three potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates expressed hostility toward the public school system at a home schooling rally on Wednesday in the early presidential caucus state of Iowa. Hostilty? Let’s see what they [...]

Cong. Ron Paul will address NICHE, the Iowa homeschoolers association, Wednesday along with fellow Cong. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and announced Presidential candidate, former Godfather’s CEO Herman Cain. Nowhere does the fight against big government and world government converge as closely as homeschooling. It is effectively banned in Germany, using Nazi-era laws upheld by that court [...]
