ICYMI: Highlights From Conference Call With RNC Chairman Priebus & OH GOP Chairman DeWine
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus: “After calling a Joint Session of Congress to propose a yet second Stimulus of failed policies, the President is hitting the road this week in a political attempt to sell his package of old ideas. But unsurprisingly, he’s only stopping in major 2012 battleground states … “Time and again, the President [...]
Ohio redistricting map out!
(Via The Campaign Spot) And… it’s subtle. Executive summary: Ohio loses two districts, overall. Republicans Steve Austria and Mike Turner end up competing with each other in the same district. Democrats Marcy Kaptur & Dennis Kuchinich, ditto. Democrat Nancy Sutton loses her district and gets thrown into a district that heavily favors her new Republican [...]
Michele Bachmann: Embracing Teh Lefty Anti-Vaccy Crazy?
Look, let’s start off by me noting I didn’t care for the way that Congresswoman Bachmann went after Governor Perry over Gardasil last night, frankly: I recognize that there’s a core issue there about choices for your kids, but the central issue is more complicated than either side wants to admit, and it’s heavily partisan-tinged [...]
No Girls Were Harmed During the Production of This Executive Order
From Ben Domenech’s most excellent Transom comes this, backing up what I think ends this as an issue for Perry: The attacks on Perry’s HPV vaccine actions five years ago have now taken up roughly 15 minutes in both the MSNBC debate and the CNN debate. Perry’s message on this has been straightforward: that he [...]
Truth, BS, SS And Ponzi Schemes
“It is a Ponzi scheme for these young people. The idea that they’re working and paying into Social Security today, that the current program is going to be there for them, is a lie,” Perry said. “It is a monstrous lie on this generation, and we can’t do that to them.” (HT: Houston Chronicle) Governor [...]

HPV and Why It Matters
UPDATE: I think it is worth pointing out that as I wake up today Michele Bachmann is overplaying her hand on this issue and it is probably going to go away. The mother-daughter story sounds sympathetic, but it will force the media to delve into the story more and I don’t think the outcome will [...]
The state of the race before the Debate
Last night CNN hosted a key Republican Presidential debate, in which Rick Perry took a variety of attacks. This is critical because going into Rick Perry’s first debate, his favorability ratings were great, and his unfavorables were miniscule compared with the field. Let’s see where CNN had the state of the race going into last [...]
The Headline Goes Here
No, that title is not a placeholder or an error. “What’s your headline,” so many people came up to me and asked last night after the CNN Tea Party Debate. There are so many headlines about the debate. You all, I’m sure, want the quick and dirty scoop. The short answer is Rick Perry won, [...]
