Tech at Night: Ronulans and Bronys get wronged. No, really. Also, Dems wrong on Cybersecurity again.

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  February 12th at 01:00 AM  | 

The UN’s WIPO is an established, but controversial, arbiter of Internet domain name/trademark disputes. So I find it absolutely hilarious that Ron Paul is using it to go after his own supporters. This is even sillier than Hasbro shutting down My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic, the game that raised thousands of dollars for cancer research.

Just because we have the right to do something, it doesn’t mean that it is right to do that thing. Sometimes exerting your rights to their fullest extent just isn’t the right thing to do, and some sort of solution should be found that’s win-win. Especially when we’re raising money for cancer, as in the case of MLP: Fighting is Magic in the Evo contest.

Tech at Night: Google’s values, Government sharing spectrum, Wikipedia founder against copyright

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  July 7th at 02:00 AM  | 

Things that are compatible with Google’s values: Prostitutes. Websites for copyright infringement. Illegal drugs. Pornography. Mortgage scams. Spying on people’s wireless networks. Things that are incompatible with Google’s values: legal exercise of Second Amendment rights.

Mitt Romney: Winning, But Not Getting More Popular

By: Dan McLaughlin (Diary)  |  March 14th at 01:32 PM  | 

After last night’s contests, it’s time to update my running tallies of the popular vote in the GOP presidential primary and see what further conclusions can be drawn. I continue to break out the votes in three groups – the five conservative candidates (Santorum, Gingrich, Perry, Bachmann and Cain), the two moderate candidates (Romney and Hunstman) and the libertarian (Paul) – for reasons explained in | Read More »

Mitt Romney short but in reach of the majority

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  March 7th at 11:30 AM  | 

When three candidates hang into the Presidential nomination race after Super Tuesday, it becomes time to check whether anyone can get a majority. Mitt Romney is close. So far he’s not there, but if current trends hold he will be the Republican nominee for President of the United States, and become so on the first ballot.

Super Tuesday: Romney and Santorum Limp Along, Tea Party Claims First Scalp

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  March 7th at 12:31 AM  | 

Romney wins OH, VA, MA, VT, and ID; Gingrich wins GA; Santorum wins OK, TN, and ND.  Alaska is still pending.  Here are some random thoughts. 1) It looks like Romney will eke out a very narrow win in Ohio.  The pattern is becoming familiar.  Romney can’t just outspend his opponents; he must swamp them in order to pull out a narrow victory.  There is | Read More »

I Blame Us All. Don’t Worry: You Will Too.

By: Thomas Crown (Diary)  |  March 1st at 11:55 PM  | 

From the diaries . . . So, as we begin our gallant charge into electoral defeat in November in earnest, I think it’s time to lay the blame for this primary season where it belongs: The voters. We’ve all spent a good bit of time deriding and decrying the Establishment for our current straits, and I truly believe they deserve some criticism. National Review backhanded | Read More »

Mitt Romney’s Debt Ceiling Deception

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  February 23rd at 11:12 AM  | 

For the most part, last night’s debate was refreshing in the sense that the candidates were honest about their lack of conservatism.  Santorum, Gingrich, and Paul affirmed their support for some aspect of earmarking (although some parsed words), Rick Santorum owned up to his support of No Child Left Behind, Ron Paul unabashedly enunciated his support for Iran’s nuclear program, and Newt Gingrich also confirmed | Read More »

Gingrich & The Rick Perry Factor

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  February 23rd at 04:46 AM  | 

It was the last debate. Newt Gingrich won it. He was the only candidate who repeatedly steered the questions toward Barack Obama. He was the only candidate who dared point out that the media barely touched Obama’s infanticide support as an Illinois State Senator. He returned to the role of elder statesman. The crowd leaned to Mitt Romney. It was probably inevitable. Mesa, AZ is | Read More »

The Last Debate?

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  February 20th at 04:46 AM  | 

Today is a holiday here at RedState, but I’m doing laundry, packing, and preparing to fly out to Arizona. On Wednesday night, CNN will bring the nation what may very well be the last debate in the Republican Presidential Primary season. From Mesa, AZ, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, and Ron Paul will take the stage one last time. At least we can presume | Read More »

The Fat Lady Hasn’t Sung, But She’s Warming Up

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  January 31st at 10:18 PM  | 

If I were a national Republican operative, I’d be very worried about tonight. If I were a Mitt Romney fan, I’d be ecstatic. The Romney win in Florida was huge. He won the hispanic vote. He split tea party activists and evangelicals. He won where people live. Gingrich won the panhandle and largely tied in the few northern Florida population centers, but it was Romney’s | Read More »

Florida update: Mitt Romney to win by 10

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  January 30th at 01:00 PM  | 

It’s popular to talk down polling, but from where I sit, the polling of the primaries has been pretty good. Yes, Iowa was terrible, but that was a caucus. The primary polling has been solid. Florida’s polling has lined up in a nice, neat band for every candidate, making it easy to say Mitt Romney is going to win tomorrow.

The Jacksonville Brawl

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  January 27th at 04:47 AM  | 

I’m biased, but I think the real winner last night was CNN and I feel confident I’d say that even if they didn’t send me a paycheck. After that disastrous and embarrassing NBC debate, Wolf Blitzer held his own, did not get devoured by Newt Gingrich, and engaged in a lot of substance without a lot of random questions like . . . oh . | Read More »

Huge Gingrich bounce in Florida

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  January 23rd at 11:00 AM  | 

When word came out of InsiderAdvantage’s new Florida poll, I said to myself “I’ve heard this story before.” Newt Gingrich shooting up like a rocket, but confirmation is needed. Rasmussen provided the confirmation.

South Carolina: Huntsman up, but not Romney?

By: Neil Stevens (Diary)  |  January 12th at 01:00 PM  | 

InsiderAdvantage appears to be the first out of the gate in South Carolina after Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary. As expected, South Carolina is showing movement from New Hampshire, the way New Hampshire and South Carolina showed movement from Iowa. At least, Rick Santorum is down and Jon Huntsman is up. Sticking out though is the lack of any gain for Mitt Romney.
