Campaign Cash Shows Unsustainable ‘Burn Rate’ for Romney and Gingrich

Why is Rick Santorum surging in national polls and leading in key primary states? A big part of the explanation is that, during the long months when he campaigned relentlessly despite low poll numbers and a lack of major media attention, Santorum’s operation developed a resourcefulness that his rivals don’t have. Necessity is the mother […]

Because Mitt Is Just Too Cool

by Smitty Why is the low pressure of the Romney vacuum continuing to bolster Santorum? Romney, for reasons that continue to remain a mystery to me, appears to be following a strategy of actively avoiding the Tea Party movement. To my knowledge, he has never addressed an actual tea party rally or local tea party […]

Poll Proves Mitt’s Mud Gun Works?

The report that Mitt Romney has cut Rick Santorum’s lead from 15 points to 4 points in Michigan goes to show what can be accomplished with a multimillion-dollar attack-ad campaign, especially when those attacks are assisted by Mitt’s friends in the liberal media. However, as Santorum himself has often pointed out during his speeches, Romney […]

Professor Jacobson, Maybe We Should Both Start Blogging About Sports …

. . . or movies or food or something besides politics, because right now we are diametrically opposite and neutralizing each other: Should the race come down to Santorum or Romney, I’d have to think about it, as shocking as that may sound given my criticisms of Romney. That’s not so much a vote of confidence […]

Insta-RINO?

Has Glenn Reynolds joined the “Roll Over for Romney” movement? Back in 2008, the social-cons were all-in for Romney, to the point where Hugh Hewitt’s take became a running tagline (“You know who this is good for? Mitt Romney!”) that’s still used by by bloggers from time to time. Now, not so much. So what […]

‘Top GOP Senator’ Freaks the Hell Out Over Mitt Romney’s Michigan Meltdown

Who is this “prominent Republican senator” who thinks Rick Santorum would “lose 35 states” if he got the nomination? Who is this vicious backstabbing crapweasel who wants to DRAFT JEB BUSH? Lindsey Graham? John Cornyn? Mitch McConnell? Inquiring minds want to know.

Sarah Palin Endorses (M)It(t)?

by Smitty I’ll get to Sarah’s CPAC12 speech excerpt, but first, a review: If you have it, you don’t need it. If you need it, you don’t have it. If you have it, you need more of it. If you have more of it, you don’t need less of it. You need it. . .to […]

This Post Served Sans Brain Bleach

by Smitty Earlier, Stacy’s Green Room post about my otherwise righteous governor, McDonnell, doing the dirty work for Romney got me thinking: McDonnell’s argument is dishonest and, furthermore, why can’t Mitt Romney fight his own fights? Should Mitt Romney wish to pick an argument with Santorum over this issue, by all means let him do […]
