Frank Luntz recently had an article in the Washington Post about five myths regarding conservative voters. This may very well be a starting point for a winning strategy for Romney in this year’s general election campaign if he can accurately and forcefully articulate the message. In short, he has to delineate a vision, based on pragmatic conservative ideology, that separates him and the Republican Party | Read More »
In Utah, besides the Presidential election, there are two statewide races: Governor and Senate. Given his popularity and the fact that Utah is staunchly conservative and decidedly red, there is little drama in the Governor’s race as incumbent Republican Guy Herbert should win easily. The only chance the Democrats have of winning is if Joseph Smith ran on their ticket. At the present time, there | Read More »
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 »
It is increasingly diificult to ascertain the true goals of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement. Comparisons have been made to the Tea Party. As best I can now tell, the whole thing was basically instigated by a renegade Canadian advertising company that extols and anti-consumerism agenda who previous claim to fame was a campaign called “Turn Your TV Off” Day. Regardless, the protests are | Read More »
Excuse my ignorance, but this Occupy Wall Street phenomena is perplexing me on a certain level. Specifically, after researching how this whole thing got started and the resulting airplay on the news every day now, it would appear there is this well spring of lame Stream Media support- almost sympathy- for this movement. If this is a protest against corporate America or banks or the | Read More »
So, the great debt ceiling debate and controversy is over for now and the post mortems are being written as to who won and who lost. Although the devil is in the details and we really don’t know much of the details, it is a wait and see game now. From my standpoint, the inclusion of some trigger mechanism to force cuts under threat of | Read More »
In psychology, there is the gestalt theory which basically means that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In politics, incumbent Republican Indiana Senator Richard Lugar can probably best exemplify that concept. Before anyone jump to conclusions and assume this is a defense of Lugar, please read carefully. According to GovTrack. org, among Republicans, only perennial RINOs Olympia Snowe and Susan | Read More »
As a recent post by Eric Erickson notes, there will undoubtedly be speculation about the great Republican civil war between the GOP establishment and the TEA Party activists for control of the party. In reality, this is nothing more than a distraction device perpetrated by the spin-meisters in the Democratic Party and their affiliates in the mainstream media and on those obnoxious liberal web | Read More »
Besides the Delaware race, perhaps nowhere else is the ineptitude of a state Republican apparatus more in evidence than in Colorado. It is a scene from an upcoming release of “Republicans Gone Wild.” Starting with the Governor’s race, Republicans began shooting themselves in their feet quite early and it has evolved into a three-way race in the general election. The Democratic candidate was | Read More »
So now after declaring the “cultural wars” of 2004 won by the left due to the demise of Mel Gibson, Frank Rich has taken on the Sherrod controversy. He comes to the conclusion that race remains a big subject in this country despite the fact that an African-American occupies the White House. This time, he draws his inspiration for this liberal epiphany from the season | Read More »
