I was invited by Senator Bell’s campaign to attend the Chesterfield Nottobenamed/Reagan Dinner. It was a nice presentation with a great speech from Jim Kuhn, who worked for my hero from 1976 through the end of his second term (I am surprised I did not mob him like a rock star!) who wrote this book: […]

Ron Paul sat out this year’s CPAC. In past years, Paul has stacked the deck with his faithful and won the CPAC beauty contest. So, the results were always perceived as somewhat tainted. Of course, when it comes to organizing the base, you must give Ron Paul an A+, but I believe even the supporters […]

I was very disappointed in the showing in Iowa. It was abetted by the apparent early signs of victory on some of the cable shows. I could see that Paul was falling behind both Romney and Santorum (who repeated the lie that RP says the US invited the 9/11 attacks in a debate) and I […]

Listening to the radio and watching network coverage of the Iowa Caucus, you would think that the winner tonight has a lock on the Republican nomination and will be sharpening his (or her) fangs to go after Obama in November. So just what is Iowa really worth? Well, the truth is, if you were to […]

The money primary for the third quarter is about to happen. My background reading tells me that money will be critical. Romney has it; many others do not. Paul has some money but a strong end of the quarter showing will give renewed strength to a campaign that took something of a surprise hit in […]

The significance of the Florida Straw Poll victory that Herman Cain pulled off has had the pundits scratching their heads and offering opinions that are all over the place. “It’s a protest vote” say some, referring to a protest against the flailing campaign of Texas Governor Rick Perry who disappointed a lot of people who […]
