Just as Hawaii will be a slam dunk for Obama, Alaska will be a slam dunk for the eventual Republican nominee. Alaska is a fairly reliable red state and its three electoral votes will go to the GOP. The running count thus far is Obama 4, GOP nominee 3. Unlike 2010, there is no Senatorial drama this time around. If one remembers, incumbent GOP Lisa | Read More »
In Presidential politics, there is no doubt that Barack Obama, who lays claim to Hawaii asa one of his homes, will garner the state’s four electoral votes. The state is deeply blue as evidenced by their recent voting behaviors in Presidential elections and the fact their entire Congressional delegation is Democratic, along with their Governor. The Senate race will be spotlighted this year since long | Read More »
While we are concentrating on the GOP nomination battle and all that entails and the drama towards the big prize in 2012, the Supreme Court has taken on a trio of cases that are highly politically charged that may have more far-reaching effects than who wins in 2012. In the first match up, Justice Scalia has accepted and placed on the docket a case involving | Read More »
So, President Obama has decided to channel the populism of Teddy Roosevelt. The liberal media is all goo-goo over his speech in Kansas as one of the defining speeches of his Presidency. Of course, we have heard that one before several times. The fact is that this was not the defining speech of his Presidency but of his re-election campaign. No doubt we will hear | Read More »
On any given day- whether here at RedState, Townhall or any other conservative website as well as any liberal website- the majority of discourse is on either general topics like pending legislation/proposals OR Presidential politics. While we here at RS play pundit regarding the GOP nomination and put our two cents worth forward in support of our particular favorite nominee, there is an equally important | Read More »
Without a doubt, one of the most controversial issues in politics involves immigration reform. It requires compromise on both sides of the issue. And that compromise should not be motivated by courting the Hispanic vote. Some have called for the mass deportation of all illegal immigrants. Sorry folks, ain’t happening. One cost estimate is that it would strain the Federal treasury by $285 billion over | Read More »
Thirteen months out with no primaries, caucuses, or conventions or even set candidates and it would appear that, assuming the Republicans don’t shoot themselves in their feet in certain states, the Senate will fall to Republican control. Of course, it will not be filibuster-proof unless this is a repudiation of Democrats and Obama so deep that it essentially destroys the party for years. It will | Read More »
With 15 months to go, it would be a good idea to assess the Republican Presidential field thus far- the declared, the hoped-for, the good, the bad, and the ugly. MITT ROMNEY: The nominal front runner to hear the lamestream media talk. He just seems to be the fall back guy because a savior has not really come along. Should he win the nomination, core | Read More »
There is no doubt that the mainstream media, by and large, is in the pocket of liberals in general, and the Democratic Party in particular. Whether it was Dan Rather’s quickness to run a false story to sully a sitting Republican President (thanks Dan and CBS News for that backfiring October surprise), or other anchors like Katie Couric and Brian Williams, the bias against | Read More »
Originally, I was a little hesitant about writing this piece because most of my research indicates that labor unions are, by and large, losing their political influence in the country.
