Boy, I sure hope Rudy wins FL (or shows well) just so we can get more of his excellent political commercials. In this new ad (H/T Ed Morrissey) Rudy points out why not being endorsed is a good thing: The fact is McCain is trying to show DC-insider support with his Crist and Martinez endorsements, […]

OK Folks, you may think I am being obsessive, but it turns out while campaigning in Michigan one of Romney’s handlers let it be known Romney does wear an earpiece and is in constant contact with his handlers: On January 12, Gov. Mitt Romney was in Michigan campaigning for the January 15th Republican presidential primary. […]

Years of having to live under the iron hand of the Clintons as they dragged their party into the minority have finally come back to haunt the Clintons. Obama’s crushing win in SC has allowed the pressure valves to burst and hordes of famous Democrats are endorsing Obama. From Sen Kerry (and others) to the […]

How is it John McCain is now best positioned to win the GOP nomination? If he wins FL (and recent endorsements by Gov Crist and Sen Martinez shows he has some gathering strength there) he will have supposedly turned the GOP on its head. Rush Limbaugh predicts the end of the party as we all […]

OK, looks like McCain is going to be the GOP nominee. Fox is reporting FL Governor Crist has coming out to endorse McCain. Combine that with Sen Martinez I think that will pretty much seal up FL and the nomination for McCain. As I did in 2006, I underestimated the blow back against the GOP […]

I would guess exit polls are telling a bad story for Clinton in SC since her campaign has released a memo this evening that says forget SC, look to FL. Regardless of today’s outcome, the race quickly shifts to Florida, where hundreds of thousands of Democrats will turn out to vote on Tuesday. Despite efforts […]

I keep saying the GOP and its supporters cannot be Pollyannish about who can win in 2008. It is clear from just about every primary the Dems are motivated and the GOP is flat. SC is just underscoring that fact today: In 2004, about 290,000 people voted in the Democratic presidential primary. Party officials are […]

The polls are very fickled this year. It’s as if the public is saying ‘catch us if you can, but we are going to make some changes’. I predicted a while back Obama would win SC due to the Clinton’s screw up in playing the race card (why take a fake first black president when […]

I have been having fun with the Romney Mystery Whisper in the post below, but as this story has unfolded I think it is more and more implausible. OK, there is no way the tie-mic picked up an earpiece (and yes, they come that small) but clearly what did happen was someone in the control […]

I think Rudy may actually shock people in Tuesday – because he got is voters in long before then. I have had some comments here describing anecdotal evidence of huge margins for Rudy in early voting. And now we see reporting from FL that the early voting numbers are huge – now just under the […]
