By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Solicitor General Donald Verrilli had a bad day yesterday, Save Jerseyans. I almost felt for him despite my complete and utter disdain for his cause (and his client, a.k.a. the Obama Administration). Almost. The veteran litigator stumbled his way through what was likely the most momentous oral argument of our time. And as Politico reports, many Court watchers were | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Tomorrow is it, Save Jerseyans! Three full days of ObamaCare hearings will commence before the U.S. Supreme Court just days after the second anniversary of the bill’s passage. Another big story out there today, as I’m sure you’ve heard by now, is former Vice President Dick Cheney who underwent a heart transplant this weekend at age 71. This interesting coincidence compels | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Governor Romney is 65 years old today, Save Jerseyans. We hope he enjoys it (or at least as much as a candidate for national office possibly can). His first act as an official “senior citizen?” Deciding to NOT sign up for Social Security and Medicare, too. But I’m interested in other numbers tonight… the price of gas, specifically, which | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com I really, truly don’t like saying this, Save Jerseyans. He’s my president, too. Even when our chief executives are wrong or morally inappropriate, we still like to think their intentions are originating from a pure place. This is probably the reason why so many Americans are reluctant to ponder Barack Obama’s numerous and disturbing past affiliations. They don’t | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com You may’ve heard about Governor Christie’s “shouting match” with a “former Navy Seal” yesterday afternoon in Roebling, New Jersey (click here to watch the video). It was all over the news last night. The Governor often is, and it’s not unusual for a emotionally-charged town hall verbal encounter to be the impetus of the coverage. But the “Navy | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Following the tragic passing of Andrew Breitbart, we heard a lot about a video (or series of videos) which he had planned to release. The Happy Warrior had promised to vet President Obama in 2012 in a way that the mainstream media had failed to do in 2008. Excited interest pulsated throughout the conservative community. Anxious anticipation might’ve been a | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Last year, New Jersey’s legislature voted to return to a “unified” primary in June (as opposed to a separate presidential contest in the winter). The reported reason was to save money. The real reason was to aid party bosses with turnout in otherwise uninteresting June contests for down-ballot offices. Go figure. And the anticipated effect? That New Jersey | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com It’s like the more money we come across, the more problems we see. “We” being the Republican Party. I’ve heard the refrain in recent days leading up to Super Tuesday Ohio showdown from Romney critics; paraphrasing, they’re complaining that “Mitt’s money can help him fool primary voters but it won’t work on Obama in the general because he’s going to | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Andrew Breitbart was more than a man, Save Jerseyans. He was a walking, talking, snarking visionary. An elemental catalyst of reaction. What kind of reactions? The jaw-hits-the-floor and you’re saying “wow, so THAT’s what that person/organization that he filmed is all about” kind of reactions. He knew how to get bad people to out themselves; in another life, he | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Mitt Romney won BIG last night against the odds, Save Jerseyans. Yes, he has more money and better organization than his primary opponents. We’ve the heard the refrain. But the “establishment” working against him up there is far more formidable than the “establishment” to which he allegedly belongs; it wasn’t called by its proper name on the ballot | Read More »
