[insert Michigan symbol here]

Normally, I don’t go rogue with the Freep, but there’s a pertinent and sad quote that the former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney campaign continues to screw up, trying to sell Mitt back to Michigan without any of the sacrifice, effort, or pain that everyone else has endured here.  More than that, it makes me wonder if … Continue Reading →

GOP candidates punt on gas prices, settle for fearmongering

120 minutes. Nothing on gas prices. Maybe it was John King’s fault. Yeah, let’s just blame him, instead of 4 so-called presidential candidates who could have spoken up on this, and really connected with voters who hopefully now know that neither side has a realistic and workable solution. I can’t blame Ron Paul, because he … Continue Reading →

The Battle for Shelby Township

Via RebelPundit at Biggovernment, seems the Battle for Shelby Township has sustained massive casualties. Signs, hundreds of them, were removed by Romney staff/supporters/SuperPAC unaffiliates prior to the event. Someone’s scared of Rick, methinks.

Hey Pete, you missed a spot.

I didn’t know Pete was a … Continue Reading →

Social conservatives get the save

With extremely low turnout in Colorado’s closed caucuses, many people seem surprised that Mitt Romney lost in Colorado to Rick Santorum by 5+ points.  The difference between polling and caucus assembly surprises folks all the time.  Turnout usually is a factor, and in this case it is pretty plain to see that social conservatives brought … Continue Reading →

A clear night above New Mexico as Newt shines in the evening sky...

Newt's pie-in-the-sky promises

“Al Gore Invented The Internet.” Funny, right? So when Newt Gingrich promises the moon (literally), shouldn’t we get a little skeptical? It’s not a secret why Newt promises the moon in Florida. A significant chunk of NASA is housed there, as well as multiple industries tied to the expensive promotion of spaceflight. And as Floridians … Continue Reading →

Mitticus Taximus

Looking for the mock Washington Post page seen in a previous version of this post? See the explanation here. When Newt Gingrich won South Carolina, I smiled.  Mitt’s taxes probably did it. I mean, really. It’s not bad enough that Mitt Romney is still the expected favorite.  Florida won’t swing as wildly as Middle Earthburg. … Continue Reading →
