To hear Democrats tell it, Mitt Romney woke up on Saturday morning and announced Charles Darwin (on acid) as his running mate. Obama surrogates’ narratives were uniform and sadly predictable: “Paul Ryan is a radical,” they said, who wants to take away your grandmother’s social security check… if he doesn’t push her off of a cliff first. Some went so far as to suggest that | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted from SaveJersey.com He was, then we weren’t sure (again) as Mitt finalized his VP pick. But now that Mitt Romney has confirmed the great Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) as his vice presidential running mate, Save Jersey has confirmed with a source close to Governor Chris Christie that he WILL, in fact, deliver the keynote address in Tampa Bay. A formal | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com I still don’t think it’s going to happen, Save Jerseyans. I’m not even sure that I’d want it to happen. But history often makes the man, and this could be Chris Christie’s time. All indicators (published and whispered) suggest he’s at least in the “final four” of veepstakes contenders; possibly better than that because I firmly believe Tim Pawlenty’s name | Read More »
By Charles Measley | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com I enjoy signing up to Democrat e-mail newsletters, Save Jerseyans; it gives you perspective as to what their upcoming attacks and extremist proposals will look like. Yesterday morning, Barack Obama’s New Jersey campaign sent out an e-mail saying that Gov. Chris Christie is on Romney’s short list for VP (I hope he is!) and that our Governor’s name has recently | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) didn’t get the veep nod yesterday in Cincinnati, Save Jerseyans. That doesn’t mean it still isn’t very likely to happen sometime soon. One prominent Republican politician is pretty sure that Portman will emerge as Mitt Romney’s pick. You might’ve heard of him? A reliable source close to Governor Chris Christie tells Save Jersey | Read More »
By Dale Glading | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com The day that George W. Bush decided to keep Dick Cheney on his ticket for a second term is the day that Barack Obama became the odds-on favorite to win the White House in 2008. Don’t believe me? Consider the following… Dick Cheney, a man whom I admire and a person with one of the most extensive public service | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com “Nobody knows nuthin’” to paraphrase Peter Clemenza from Godfather: Part I, Save Jerseyans But all indicators suggest Mitt Romney’s vice presidential running mate announcement is close. Very close. We just don’t know how close (three days versus three weeks). Or who it will be. A little harmless speculation to keep your brain turning? Exhibit A: U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), who | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Mother’s Day is an opportunity to shower the women who gave us birth with candies, flowers, presents and affection. They deserve it! God knows mine does for putting up with ME, Save Jerseyans… But in a larger sense, where would our society, or an society for that matter, be without strong matriarchal figures to hold families together? After all, | Read More »
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 »
