Santorum Praised by Rush Limbaugh, Endorsed by Florida State Sen. Plakon

Wearing my Florida shirt at the CNN Jacksonville debate, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012 (Photo by Dave Weigel) JACKSONVILLE, Fla. On his radio program today, Rush Limbaugh singled out Rick Santorum for his understanding that “ObamaCare is ballgame,” as Rush put it.

CNN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA DEBATE

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. CONCLUSION 1 a.m. ET: Excuse my long absence. Had to go to the spin room for the post-debate action, then write a column for The American Spectator. I was hesitant to say this earlier but, did Rick Santorum kick butt or what? Because I wanted to believe he did well, I felt that […]

Fear and Loathing: Oceanfront View

TV satellite trucks outside the press filing center, University of North Florida, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Carl Cameron was standing near the satellite trucks parked next to the press filing center when I got back from the media walk-through at Lazzara Performance Hall on the University of North Florida campus, site of tonight’s CNN debate […]

Departing for Jacksonville: What’s Up Today Down in the Sunshine State?

My flight leaves Baltimore-Washington International Airport about 9 a.m. and arrives in Jacksonville about 1 p.m. By the time this post goes live, I’ll be on my way to the airport.

You know yourself; you fail all the time. You could depend on your friends and family, but they’d eventually get sick of you. But government will always […]

Can Newt Be Trusted? Calls Mitt Romney ‘Anti-Immigrant’ in Spanish-Language Ad

You may remember last week’s CNN debate in South Carolina, when Rick Santorum hit Newt Gingrich with this: I will give Newt Gingrich his due on grandiose ideas and grandiose projects. I will not give him his due on executing those projects, which is exactly what the president of the United States is supposed to […]

Meghan McCain: An Essay on Decadence

Ace of Spades called attention to this memorable pearl of wisdom folly by the notorious embarassment to the Republican Party: This purposeful and conscious disparagement of knowledge is rather breathtaking, coming as it does from someone whose grandfather and great-grandfather were both four-star admirals in the U.S Navy and who, one supposes, could not have graduated from Annapolis without […]
