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...

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...

One of the biggest applause lines of the night was when Newt Gingrich, responding to a long (and embarrassing for the moderators) line of questions trying to pin candidates down on gay marriage, contraception and gay adoption, responded as follows: Newt's response engendered praise even from...

Endgame Analysis:  Romney has to be happy.  He came away unscathed.  No one went after him in a confrontational manner. The prevailing wisdom will be that Newt failed to attack, but Newt's in a no win situation.  If he attacks aggressively, he's bad, angry Newt; if...

Debate starts at 9 p.m. Eastern.  Some things possibly relevant: There is another debate Sunday morning on Meet the Press.  Are they kidding? Via Instapundit, Byron York says that it was Newt's reaction to the negative ads rather than the ads themselves which did the most damage. ...
