S.E. Cupp, who previously called Newt a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown, is on the verge of a breakdown, Newt's Doomed Crusade: At the risk of sounding maudlin or apocalyptic, the conservative movement is  poised to become irrelevant or simply extinct...

LATEST NEWS

There's something of a scuffle going on in Florida right now over the 2010 election of Marco Rubio and the hiring of Charlie Crist's Florida staff by the Romney campaign.  Newt implicitly is tying Romney to Crist. Rubio, who has not endorsed anyone, in response, says that...

Mitt Romney's key debate line of late is that Newt resigned in disgrace over ethics charges. It's even featured in the most recent Romney advertisement (not his SuperPAC) running in Florida. I posted links the other day showing that the charges against Newt were political and that...

There's something Nancy Pelosi knows that no one else who was involved in the congressional investigation of Newt in the 1990s knows?  (BTW, this Byron York column on how politicized and wrong the ethics charges against Newt were is a must read.) Not even any of the anti-Newt Republicans...

Thanks to Linda from Tennessee for this photo taken at the Davidson Country Republican luncheon: ...

... Some said the state of our union was getting stronger, while others said it was getting weaker,  but I was getting bin Laden.   ----------------- Prior sentences:  SOTU Speech (2011) In One Sentence, Obama Afghanistan Speech in One Sentence, Jewish History In One Sentence...

Speech starts at 9 p.m. Lock your arms around each other in a big circle and repeat while swaying back and forth: This is not happening, this is not happening, ...

Coming to gripes: A frank discussion of Mitt's Bain problem, in other words, something which is almost impossible now in conservative circles without being called "anti-capitalist" (h/t OCBill). Where are the hard drives?  Newt's campaign should be pushing this harder. National Review editors still don't like Newt. Washington Post columnists...

Did you hear what Andrea Mitchell said last night after the debate?  I did, and so did David Limbaugh. If true, abject panic is just below the surface: (video added, via Greg Hengler) We may be at Kübler-Ross Stage 4 over the prospect of a Romney nomination, but they...

Newt was very subdued on stage last night. I noted at the time that it probably was a strategy of not taking Romney's bait, but he needs to be more aggressive in defending when Romney attacks. The video below is being hyped by both the NY Times...

Alan Grayson still appears here every now and then. Elizabeth Warren hasn't been seen for a long time, I guess she's on work detail helping build the roads for the factory owners to use. But I've noticed a lot of these lately: I can handle that.  So long...

Dear Hillary supporters: You have had to swallow a lot of pride, but this should make you choke: "Change We Can Believe In", a key Obama campaign slogan, was meant   as a slur against Mrs Clinton's personality, intended to highlight how she "couldn't be trusted or believed in...

This to be helpful to Newt not so much because it will change a particular vote, but because it adds to a helpful narrative for Newt and pushes back against the "erratic" meme being pushed by Romney and Santorum. Video h/t ElectAd: ...

From a reader: As a loyal blog reader, I find great amusement in your regular bumper sticker posts. What I have for you is not a bumper sticker, but a humorous license plate of a hero. I am a Marine stationed aboard Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Recently,...

No Tweets of the Night (or cigarettes).  It just wasn't that good for me. Endgame assessment:  Very boring, strange debate.  Romney scored points at the start by going after Newt; Newt brought up history of Romney attacking others from 2008.  Newt did not take the bait...
