ICYMI: Highlights from RNC Conference Call Regarding Colorado Caucus
RNC Political Director Rick Wiley: “Today’s caucuses in Colorado give us an opportunity to evaluate the last three years since Obama took office and how broken promises and failed economic policies have caused Coloradans to sour on Obama… “Gallup just released job approval numbers last week and six in ten Coloradans believe that Barack Obama [...]
White House advises Senate to not lead in an election year
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) asked Ben Bernanke at the recent Senate Budget Committee if the lack of Presidential leadership was hurting the US economy. He asked, “I’m afraid President Obama has just been phoning it in here the last couple years in terms of our debt and deficit issue. … Can you speak to how [...]
What the Heck is Wrong with Mitt Romney?
Sometimes – well, frankly, pretty often – Mitt Romney scares the crap out of me. I’m already on record saying that I think he’d be a much better President than Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum, and nothing that has happened in the last month has changed that. Both Gingrich and Santorum are completely devoid of [...]
Vote For Romney Because He’ll Owe Us?….Seriously?

Alert: Senate Republicans Vote to Raise Taxes With Highway Bill
We’ve directed a lot of attention to the deficiencies of the House version of the highway bill (here and here). We must also work to defeat the Senate version, which is even worse. The 2-year $109 billion Senate bill (S.1813) offers no reform to mass transit and continues to mandate that states use 10% of [...]
Is Syria Really “Different?”
While the recent increase of attention to the ongoing carnage in Syria is a welcome change from the Obama administration’s collective state of denial over the past ten months, signals remain mixed, and our policy is unclear if not non-existent. This week alone, for example, we got the welcome news that the Pentagon is preparing [...]

Berwanger is also the first winner of the Downtown Athletic Club Trophy the year before, an award known today as [...]
