The pollsters are all saying today’s primary vote in Michigan is too close to call and Mitt Romney is getting a little testy about it. Mitt ripped into Rick Santorum this morning for trying too hard to win. Specifically, Romney criticized Santorum for reaching out to Democrats and asking them to cross over to vote. … Continue Reading →
It is a little more than a day before the Michigan Primary. If you’re a first-time voter in the mood to vote, the Michigan Secretary of State has an easy link here. Polls open on Tuesday at 7:00 A.M. and close at 8:00 P.M. For me, it’s a no-brainer to root for Rep. Ron Paul. … Continue Reading →
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. Mako out. **Updated** Per some facebook posts, it seems that the Romney camp suggests the Santorum signs were in violation of a … Continue Reading →
If you’re watching cable news, you might’ve noticed this narrative going around on how former Senator Rick Santorum is waging a war on women’s health. He also labeled President Obama with a “phony theology”, and is really having fun with his new-found status as a front-runner. But when it comes to women’s health, Rick is … Continue Reading →
I’m hearing that CNN’s Atlanta debate on March 1st is cancelled. Add that to the cancelled March 5th debate on MSNBC, and we’re left with one debate on Wednesday, Feb. 22 in Mesa, AZ. That puts 13 states across one debate, and 500+ delegates sit between now and March 6th. Part of me wonders if … Continue Reading →
The pieces to the puzzle that will reveal the Republican Party candidate for the presidency of the United States are scattered all over the place. The GOP had a black CEO that could command attention, a sitting governor who could not speak to television audiences, and a woman that said she could lower gas prices … Continue Reading →
I was expecting this. Gov. Rick Snyder has been quiet about endorsements, but a key presidential primary that may swing the balance of the nomination is at stake, and it’s inevitable. You’ve got to pick somebody. So as Gov. Snyder picks Mitt, it’s not that surprising. Moderate conservatives and populist conservatives side with the money. … Continue Reading →
It’s a strange pot of politics brewing in Michigan. Per Public Policy Polling, a left-leaning polling group, Michigan has Rick Santorum up by 15 on Mitt Romney (pdf), with 2 weeks to the primary, and 8 days to the first debate in almost a month (since January 26th, 2011). Inside the numbers, it cancels out … Continue Reading →
The most amazing thing about the conservatives in my circle is that they have what I call election-time concerns that are not mentioned until election time. One is abortion. It is a hot topic during the election cycle, but at all other times my black conservative friends aren’t talking about abortion. But when their conservative … Continue Reading →
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 →
