By Brian McGovern | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Everyone knows that to become President of the United States a candidate needs to collect 270 electoral votes, this is the lowest majority you can have to take the White House. So what happens if no one gets there. Or worse, what happens if both candidates get exactly 269 electoral votes? And what is the likelihood of that | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Marco Rubio says he doesn’t want it, Save Jerseyans. His actions tell another story; for example, he was barnstorming with Mitt Romney yesterday in battleground Southeastern Pennsylvania ahead of tomorrow’s Keystone State primary. And what would a historic Romney-Rubio ticket mean for Election 2012? Most pundits wouldn’t say “nothing” exactly, but perhaps something only marginally more generous. Conventional | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-Posted at The Save Jersey Blog Governor Christie is sitting down this morning with Dr. Michael Oren, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States. It’s not at all unusual for Israeli representatives to meet with prominent American politicians. For Christie, however, the meeting has value-added political importance if he wants to continue his meteoric rise on the national GOP scene. That’s because the Governor took | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-Posted at The Save Jersey Blog Even in these extremely lean economic times, Save Jerseyans, New Jersey still has a few things in great abundance: blueberries, beaches, pizzerias, roads, and liberal media bias. We cover incidents of bias regularly here at Save Jersey. Ironically, we’re finding examples of ideologically-slanted coverage at “Politifact NJ,” a subsidiary of The Star-Ledger designed to… and this is the | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-Posted at The Save Jersey Blog There’s zero doubt in my mind that Mitt Romney was the biggest beneficiary of Chris Christie’s decision to take a pass on the presidential race, Save Jerseyans. Zip. Nada. Let’s face facts: the GOP is staring down an internal culture divide heading into January. Christie-inclined voters are largely concentrated outside of Dixie, making them far more likely to | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-Posted at The Save Jersey Blog Republican hearts are all a-flutter this morning from sea to shining sea, Save Jerseyans, and it’s all because of a Newsmax story alleging that Governor Christie is strongly reconsidering a 2012 White House bid. Just don’t fall for it! I know, I know. No one likes the buzz kill. But I have good reasons for thinking this story is baloney. First off, | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-Posted at The Save Jersey Blog Or “Gingmitterry.” Call this hypothetical apex political predator whatever you want! All I know is that the more I watch of these Republican presidential primary debates, the more your Blogger-in-Chief instinctively wishes that conservative scientists could figure out a way to splice the genes of Mitt Romeny, Newt Gingirch, and Rick Perryinto a single supercandidate DNA strand. The resulting | Read More »
By Matt Rooney / Cross-Posted at The Save Jersey Blog Tuesday’s historic Republican victory in NY-9 may have come as a surprise to some, Save Jerseyans, but not for those of us who witnessed the Christie Revolution firsthand back in 2009. American voters have been mightily ticked off for awhile now! The legitimate shock, if there is one, is reserved solely for those who disregarded our warnings | Read More »
