89% Reporting Romney 39.1% Paul 23 Huntsman 16.9 Gingrich 9.5 Santorum 9.4 ----------------------------- Interesting: Gingrich was the target of 96% of negative super PAC spending between Iowa and N.H.  But Newt's the angry nasty one, rights?

Some things to mull as we await the close of the polls in New Hampshire at 8 p.m. Eastern.  A new results post will go live at about 7:30 p.m. Eastern.  I'm going to handle it in a manner similar to the NY-09 night, not...

When even Rush Limbaugh buys into the "criticising Bain is criticizing capitalism" meme, we have lost as a party.  There is a huge difference between using government powers to impose value judgments (a la Obama) and making value judgments in evaluating a candidate's background. It's over. We've discovered...

Mitt Romney made a statement yesterday about "firing" people who provide him with services which has been taken out of context.  He was talking about health insurance companies, and made the point that he likes to be able to make choices. I was aware that Rick...

We don't know all of the details of how Bain conducted its business under Mitt Romney, but we do know that in at least several instances the conduct was to squeeze out cash while leaving behind a failed company.  In many other instances Bain helped...

in politics and elsewhere, here's some things: Be sure to check out the blog troll argument.  I think I got someone's attention. Todd Palin endorses Newt.  I think this helps with Tea Party groups in the south, probably not much in NH.  Will Sarah endorse before South...

As you know, I knew this day would come.  The only question was whether it would be early enough in the primaries to make a difference, too late in the primaries, or in the general election. But the day surely was to come when Mitt Romney's years at...

If you haven't heard of Ludmya "Mia" B. Love before, you will be hearing a lot more about her.  Mia has the potential to be the next big thing in conservative politics. And you heard about her here first! Mia is the American-born daughter of Haitian...

Thanks to frequent photographer Scott, who writes: Attached is a photo of a sticker I saw in my travels this week. I couldn't believe someone would be so brusque. It may not be 'fitting' for a highlight on your site but I thought you could add...

Only John Sununu, Sr. could make me like Chris Matthews. Sununu was George H.W. Bush's Chief of Staff.  He holds a bitter grudge against Newt because Newt opposed Bush breaking his no new taxes pledge, and he convinced Bush to nominate David Souter. Sununu will be the guy whispering in Romney's...

John Podhoretz in The NY Post, It’s a ‘Mitt’ wrap, early this morning: That’s a wrap. I’m calling this thing. Unless something terrible comes out  about him in the next few weeks, Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee. If you were to analogize last night’s nationally...

This video is sure to result in great mockery, as Romney says that a couple of times in his life he feared getting a pink slip. But remember, fearing a pink slip a couple of times is a couple of times more than Barack Obama ever feared...

Today is the anniversary of the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords and the murder of several others, including a federal judge and a young girl, by Jared Loughner. The victims appropriately will be remembered. Further investigation revealed that Loughner lived in a non-political paranoid delusional world, and to the extent...

The line of the Meet The Press debate this morning. It started out with a typical Romney speech about not being a career policitian, a Santorum attack on that statement, a Romney response, and a Newt follow up: It is the word: ...

Endgame assessment: I give the debate to Newt (and so does Larry Sabato), who was aggressive without being offensive, and once again scored the line of the night about Romney "pious baloney." But, that said, I don't think much damage was done to Romney.  The upside for...
