Former Speaker Newt Gingrich has demonstrated why Mitt Romney cannot beat Barack Obama. The victory in South Carolina last night, a thorough trouncing by Newt over Romney and the rest of the field, gave us a glimpse of what is to come should Romney win the Republican nomination. While the Republican elite will now do […]

Several of the GOP candidates will not be on the Virginia ballot. Paul and former Massachusetts Governor Romney are confirmed […]

Everybody cheered former Speaker Newt Gingrich when he said, “Timothy McVeigh succeeded,” as justification for the Patriot Act in Tuesday’s debate on national security and foreign policy. Although Ron Paul’s answer was great – we can fight crime if we have a police state but it is not worth it. Alas, few will remember Paul’s […]

Mark Schmitt at The New Republic penned a clever analysis of the debate the other night. Of course, he piled on the truly awful performance by Texas Governor Rick Perry. (Of course he was standing next to the candidate who can say FIVE departments to abolish – Cong. Ron Paul!) But he said what is […]

The Commonwealth of Virginia has had several Presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe (This was 24 YEARS – six terms of Virginia Chief Executives!), William Harry Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and Wilson.

As expected, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney won the GOP straw poll today but Cong. Paul came in second. Romney had 35% and Paul 11%. No other candidate had double digits. I have blogged elsewhere that Romney will be out of the race due to his Obamacare type health plan in his home state and […]

Public Policy Polling ran a poll on 2012 preferences (Thanks to the Humble Libertarian for the original article). It’s mostly bad news for the GOP. No one beats Obama in a two person race. But former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (44-46) and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (42-45) do best while former House Speaker Newt […]

Obama has lost the support of Independents. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows only 16% of Independents strongly approve of Obama while 51% strongly disapprove. Last December, President elect Obama had a strongly disapprove rating from Independents of only 15%, indicating an alarming drop of 36%. Of course, it is not just Independents losing respect […]
