Huh -- apparently Mittens wants to remind people of the fact that if he (God forbid) had been president, GM, Chrysler (and, hence, subsequently Ford, along with countless smaller suppliers) would have gone bankrupt although they were all viable companies. His argument now is that...
2012 Republican Primary
I'm a committed Mittens inevitabalist, but for those of you who would like to see a real race, the case for Santorum exploding all over the Republican Party...
Santorum's beauty pageant sweep was fun and everything, but Romney is still inevitable. The key point is the first one -- Romney's massive edge in resources didn't come into play.
While the Republican primary was essentially over after Rick Perry's Ambien-and-Tito's Vodka debate performance, the stories now emerging about Newton Leroy's amusingly inept campaign do contain an important lesson. There was this idea, first expressed by some country-fried rubes with respect to Sarah Palin,...
I'll bet this will help almost as much as the Cain endorsement and the Palin quasi-endorsement! I don't think anyone thinks Newt is a viable candidate anymore, at least apart.
If Prick Erry weren't the kind of person who is happy to send innocent people to be executed and then do what he can to stop inquires that might stop.
I think Jamelle has all the essential points down in advance of the Florida results being announced. I think most people are going to accept what should have been obvious as soon as Rick Perry (the one candidate who could have been a conservative alternative...
Money matters a great deal in politics, but Prick Erry impressively demonstrates that it only goes so far if your backers have nothing to work with.
The first last step was touching the moon. As the Republican primaries approach their de facto end in Florida, Newt is making a lot of noises about staying in to.
I love Jon Chait's Mitt Romney/Ace Rothstein analogy. The problem for the conservative base is that their competing suitors can't even rise to the level of a card shark, a golf hustler, and/or a pimp from Beverly Hills. Rick Perry was like the juiced-in slots...
A useful chart from Plumer. For further context: Romney has said he was unemployed. He's right. He actually does nothing to earn most of his income. He's just in possession.
First you get the beet sugar. Then you get the power Then you get the WOMEN! The GOP is proud of its appalling and extremely unpopular behavior in the Schiavo.
