On Sunday Newt Gingrich was interviewing with Fox News’ Mike Wallace, when he let go this bomb:
Well, I think you have to be realistic, given the size of his organization, given the number of primaries he’s won. He is far and away, the most likely Republican nominee. And if he does get to 1,144 delegates, I’ll support him.| MORE ›
Heya folks. Just a heads up that we’ll be upgrading WordPress early Sunday morning around 1 a.m. EDT. Should all go well, it’ll take a few minutes, but be prepared for up to about an hour of downtime.
Thanks!
I think Barack Obama should dump Joe Biden as his vice presidential running mate and immediately replace him with Newt Gingrich. After all, their respect toward the people who rule on the constitutionality of the United States’ laws are about on par with each other.| MORE ›
Today there were a lot of people saying that the Obamacare mandate was dead as a doornail. The reason? Well, Justice Anthony Kennedy had quite a bit to say on the subject. That, and the guy defending the mandate, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, made a mess of things, to the point where some of the liberal justices actually had to help him out.| MORE ›
Now that the Puerto Rico primaries have given Romney all 23 of their delegates (not a surprising conclusion), we’ve more or less come upon the half way point of the primary cycle. At 516 delegates, Mitt Romney’s lead seems to be insurmountable, but you can bet that the other candidates are going to try their hardest to make sure he doesn’t get to 1,147 delegates by convention time.| MORE ›
Following tonight humiliating defeat of Mitt Romney, I think we’ve seen once and for all why we can’t just declare a winner now and get it over with (sorry, Michael). It’s not over, not by a long shot. There are still many states to go, and from what I can tell, it will take each and every one of them before a nominee is decided.| MORE ›
When Rush Limbaugh apologized to Sandra Fluke after calling her a ‘slut’ for daring to argue that the government should force health insurance plans to include medicinally beneficial birth control pills in their plans, I thought this was a good thing. If there’s one thing I’m much in favor of, it’s civility in the political discourse. Rush was uncivil in his comments, period.| MORE ›
It seems that President Obama once again is content to be completely irrelevant in this year’s budget negotiations, what with his plan to hose the rich to the tune of $1.5 trillion. It’ll likely be the second year running where Obama submits a budget that doesn’t get adopted.| MORE ›
There is a growing perception that this primary season is all but decided; that Mitt Romney is already the presumptive nominee. Indeed, our own Michael van der Galien is of this opinion. However, I must disagree with Michael. While things certainly look that way right now, there is a lot of time between now and August, when the convention will be held, and many primaries and caucuses left to go through.| MORE ›
Politico is reporting that Jon Huntsman will end his campaign tomorrow and throw his support behind Mitt Romney. Honestly, it’s not a big shock.
After a last place finish in Iowa, he rested his hopes on New Hampshire, but even there he couldn’t get second. And the next two states were not looking pretty at all, as the latest polls from South Carolina and Florida show:| MORE ›
