Over the past two weeks, many potential scapegoats have been floated by Romney supporters, staffers, and even Romney himself. So far, none of them have caught on. Most objective observers have concluded that a deeply flawed candidate ran a deeply flawed campaign. It’s understandable that those with so much invested in Romney’s candidacy would point fingers. They all have reputations and resumes to protect, and | Read More »
In light of the revelation that Romney-Ryan received fewer votes than McCain-Palin, despite running against an incumbent president with the worst record in our nation’s history, I think it’s time to lay the theory that Sarah Palin cost McCain the election to rest. In fact, I would argue that McCain would have lost by a much bigger margin without her on the ticket. He is | Read More »
That’s what Sean Trende from Real Clear Politics has concluded. As we speak, Mitt Romney has 58,237,566 total votes. In 2008, the Republican ticket garnered 59,934,814 votes, or nearly 1.7 million more than Romney-Ryan. Yes, there are still some votes to be counted, but very few at the time of this posting. See for yourself here. All but a handful of states have reported 100% | Read More »
The notion that Akin and Mourdock’s comments cost Romney the election is utter nonsense. The following is all the evidence needed to destroy that argument. The comments had absolutely ZERO effect on the presidential race in Indiana or Missouri. We’re supposed to believe that they influenced voters in Florida and Ohio to vote for Obama? Please…………. Missouri Romney: 53.9% Obama: 44.3% RCP Missouri presidential race | Read More »
Here’s an interesting data point from Tuesday’s election. George Bush actually received a larger share of the Mormon vote in 2004, as compared to Romney in 2012. 2004 Bush: 80% Kerry: 19% 2012 Romney: 78% Obama: 21% Considering that the 2004 turnout greatly exceeded that of 2012, I assume Bush received many more Mormon votes in terms of the raw vote total as well. The | Read More »
At this point, I don’t think it’s a matter of if Hillary Clinton will replace Uncle Joe on the ticket, but when. I’m beginning to wonder if the recent gaffes are intentional. H/T The Weekly Standard
On the eve of Nebraska’s GOP Senate primary, We Ask America has Deb Fischer surging into the lead. As you can see from the chart below, that is a remarkable 21 point swing over a period of one week. According to the pollster, it sounds like Fischer has benefited from significant financial support from TD Ameritrade founder, Joe Ricketts. However, something else happened in the | Read More »
*Click on the image above to donate to the Cruz campaign* This endorsement by Palin is an absolute home run, in my opinion. As of about two weeks ago, Cruz was trailing by 12 points, but gaining on the current front runner, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst. I predict this will put Cruz over the top. Palin’s statement from the press release: …..“We’re proud to join | Read More »
Apparently, Missouri GOP Senate candidate, John Brunner isn’t counting on support from the grass-roots of the party in advance of the August primary election. In a radio interview with Dana Loesch, he was asked how he felt about Sarah Palin’s use of the word, “reload” and her utilization of the “cross-hairs” map, which targeted congressional Democrats for defeat in the November 2010 elections. I find | Read More »
Sarah Palin has officially endorsed Deb Fischer in Nebraska’s upcoming GOP primary election. Fischer has represented Nebraska’s largest district in the state’s unicameral legislature since 2004. You can read more about her here. I’m not all that familiar with the Nebraska GOP Senate race, but it appears as though Fischer is polling within the margin of error of the current Nebraska Attorney General, Jon Bruning | Read More »
