Updates below I had a good time live chatting with the guys from GraniteGrok.com. The top three spots were called pretty early making it a really short night. Below is a jpeg of the AP/Google politics heat map. Mitt Romney is yellow, Ron Paul is green, and Jon Huntsman is light blue: As of 1:39am [...]
Some items of interest for the week. 1. Rick Santorum’s New England College Gay Marriage Exchange This exchange below was held at College Convention 2012 at New England College in Concord, NH and was open to college students from all over the state regardless of political party. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and [...]
Here’s some random observations on the caucus season which has just concluded and we’ve either enjoyed or endured, depending upon your view: Much has already been said about the Kent Sorenson switcharoo, but one thing I haven’t heard as yet is discussion on the implications of the flap upon the Christian faith. Sorenson, Michele Bachmann, [...]
By Skip Murphy Well, we’ve now been through the warm up where the players assembled, a few that were desired by the fans declined to come out and play, and some of the would be players stayed home when the prelim lineup matchups didn’t play out as they wanted. We saw a wide range of [...]
Slow and steady wins the race, at least it did in this case as Rick Santorum set about doing a “full Grassley” visiting all of Iowa’s 99 Counties, some of them several times. He actually visited the rural areas, he listened, and he spoke to their concerns. He worked his butt off. When Michele Bachmann [...]
Decision Day is here. The different campaigns had their final town halls and campaign stops yesterday. Some campaigns are lagging, and others are showing momentum. For instance at Rick Santorum’s final stop last night at a the Pizza Ranch in Altoona, IA it was a packed house, William Petroski who has been covering Santorum for [...]
I hate these debates. It isn’t that they aren’t important. They clearly are, as illustrated by the following: Rick Perry went to the top of the polls merely by announcing his run. He subsequently hit the skids after abysmal debate performances. I’m not sure anyone would even know who Herman Cain was, were it not [...]
That should be the real headline. The Des Moines Register’s latest Iowa poll has Newt Gingrich currently leading at 25%, Ron Paul is 2nd with 18%. Mitt Romney drops to 3rd with 16%. Michele Bachmann and the now former candidate Herman Cain are at 8% (down from 23% last month when The Des Moines Register [...]
Herman Cain is now officially out having announcing the suspension of his campaign today. I’m not surprised, and believed he needed to get out amidst the accusation of an extra-marital affair. The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports: Herman Cain ended his Quixotic bid for the White House on Saturday, telling hundreds of supporters in Atlanta the [...]
I’m back from my short-term blogging hiatus. It’s good to see that my blogging absence hasn’t impacted traffic since David’s picking up my slack. I had a great Thanksgiving, I hope you did as well. I had planned to be back to writing, but it is amazing how little time you have to write when [...]
It is time for Herman Cain to exit the race. When Ginger White publicly announced that she had a 13-year affair with Mr. Cain it was additional confirmation for me that I made the right decision not having him in my short list. If the sexual harassment allegations and other gaffes were not enough to [...]
I watched last night’s GOP Presidential Debate on national security hosted by the American Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation and CNN with great interest. It was the first debate focused solely on national security issues, and since the President is the Commander-in-Chief I think it is vitally important to know how he or she will fulfill [...]
Ok, we’ve had polls, polls and now another poll. This one is from Rasmussen. The field looks like this:
American Principles in Action commissioned a poll in Iowa that surveyed 501 likely Republican Iowa Caucus goers and found that they favor a return to a gold standard by a 3-to-1 margin. 57% of Iowa Republican caucus goers have a favorable opinion while only 17% had an unfavorable position. Not only that caucus goers are [...]
