“…Gingrich has decided to dig in, campaigning this week in North Carolina and Delaware and mapping out a shoestring strategy to get to the Republican convention in Tampa… Establishment Republicans say they’re ready for Gingrich to get out of the race and warn that anything he does to damage the GOP now will haunt him to the last days of his career. Gingrich himself told | Read More »

“…Romney has a huge problem with the conservative base of the GOP,” Phillips said. “He had better do something about that ASAP or he won’t have to worry about that moving to the middle nonsense. Without the GOP base, he is a lost cause…” http://dailycaller.com/2012/04/13/tea-party-leader-warns-romney-dont-expect-us-to-campaign-for-you/ There is nothing to get excited about with a Romney nomination…just more of the same tired politics-as-usual in Washington, while | Read More »

Sounding more like Obama than a Republican House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor said this past Sunday on Fox News that The Rich must: “…actually put their money to work to create more jobs so that we can see a closing of the gap.” “We know in this country right now that there is a complaint about folks at the top end of the income scale, | Read More »
So who are our candidates? Bachman Cain Gingrich Greenspon Huntsman Johnson Karger Martin McCotter McMillan Miller Moore Paul Pawlenty Roemer Romney Santorum Wuensche I haven’t even heard of some of these folks, and thus cannot comment on those individuals.
