As I Was Saying
I said yesterday that Herman Cain is now the center of gravity for the GOP’s 2012 candidates. Today, Fox News shows a meteoric rise for Herman Cain. And it is pretty much all at Rick Perry’s expense. Perry is down 10 points to 19%. Herman Cain has skyrocketed to 17%. They are in statistical tie [...]
Mitt Romney’s Sanctuary Cities and Sanctuary Mansion
Back in 1992, Massachusetts Senator Paul Tsongas, running for the Democratic presidential nomination, labeled Bill Clinton a “pander bear.” We’ve come full circle I’m afraid and the issue goes directly to why so many conservatives who are willing to settle for Mitt Romney really do not want to settle more Mitt Romney. Romney is bringing [...]
Shiela Jackson-Lee Leaves Us All Speechless.
Recently, Congresswoman Shiela Jackson-Lee went on the air with Tavis Smiley of PBS. During her appearance she was kind enough to explain something to all those crazy conservative bloggers. “Shut up!” And while we’re all zipping the soup-coolers, we’re also supposed to lay off the racial politics.

Quinnipiac in OH and PA: Romney leads, Perry leads, Santorum flops
Quinnipiac put out a pair of new polls, focusing on the Republican primary race in Pennsylvania and in Ohio. They have some problems that limit their utility, but I believe they will get much attention today because of their top line results, so it’s time to take a look anyway. Why the attention? Romney bucks [...]
RedBroward’s Tom Lauder and DeNapoli’s Broward GOP Don’t CAIR for Hamze
Last night’s Broward Republican Party meeting provided yet another regrettable example of its leadership’s dysfunctional incompetence. Nezar Hamze, the Florida Director of CAIR was slated to be read on to the BREC’s membership roll, but what ensued was an embarrassing display of bigotry that all in attendance were subjected to. Hamze was denied membership to [...]
The ObamaCare 9% Plan
“The open question is whether that’s a one-time spike (In Health Insurance premiums) or the start of a period of higher increases,” said Drew Altman, the chief executive of the Kaiser foundation. (HT: New York Times) So let’s imagine a scenario here. An industry consisting of large, partially-regulated firms sells to a group of individuals [...]
20 Days and Counting: How Long Will Obama Keep America in the Dark on Solyndra?
It’s been 20 days since the FBI raided the headquarters of Solyndra, the bankrupt stimulus-back solar energy company. For twenty days the President’s advisers have decided to keep him in the dark about what led the company to squander $535 million of taxpayer money. But there was one briefing about the mismanaged loan program—in October [...]

Multimillionaire Donor Tells Obama: Stop with all the Class Warfare Already!
WASHINGTON WIZARDS OWNER DECRIES CLASS RIFT CREATED BY OBAMA’S RHETORIC Ted Leonsis may not be a member of the elite Obama Revolutionary Guard, but he’s not a third-stringer rank-and-file Democrat, either. Leonsis is a highly successful, self-made, multimillionaire businessman — a perfect demographic example of the “enemy” that Barack Obama warns about on Hispanic radio [...]
