Happy 2012, everyone! I just started my final semester at Cornell, which promises to be exciting. Before I delve into current events, I thought I would take my first post back to recap my winter break in south east Asia. I spent one week in...

Did you witness the pile on Newt last night about his vision for new space exploration and the reinvigoration of the space industry? While some of Newt's space ideas (they're just ideas, not proposals) are grandiose in the way we always have dreamed of space, his proposals...

Whatever my criticisms of Rick Santorum, we owe him a debt of gratitude for this segment last night, which confirmed that Mitt Romney loves him some Romneycare: As Jeffrey Anderson writes, Romney's defense of Romneycare will be political death in the general election: Romney then replied by issuing...

Thanks to reader Bob from Colorado, who writes: I can't remember if this one had crossed your desk before. The electorate had better be awake and act this 2012 election season. ...

Endgame assessment: It's almost like there were two debates. Early on Romney scored points against Newt on Freddie Mac and the "wealth issue," and Santorum scored major points against Romney on Romneycare.  The first half of the debate was not strong for Newt, although I...

The only way Mitt Romney wins a nomination is by destroying others.  It was true in 2008, and it's true in 2012.  He is incapable of bringing people together with positive inspiration.  He had the chance early in this cycle to prove he would not run the...

One of the videos linked by Drudge, of Newt supposedly bashing Reagan while talking about George H.W. Bush running in 1980, is misleadingly edited. Dan Riehl has the details and the more complete video: There's a short excerpt of a 1988 C-SPAN video purportedly showing Newt Gingrich...

I read the analysis below, and then I look at the hyperbolic rhetoric about how Mitt Romney is the most electable and Newt must be destroyed, and I just shake my head in disbelief. Via James Pethokoukis: It’s one thing when Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum say...

Politico's homepage top headline is The right drops a bomb on Newt featuring photos of Ann Coulter, Tom DeLay, Elliot Abrams and Matt Drudge. Just like in December, the rise of Newt has caused panic in Republican circles. In December the charge was led by National Review, and now...

There is something truly obscene about the full blown assault on Newt Gingrich's strong Reagan conservative history from and on behalf of Mitt Romney, who unabashedly ran away from the Reagan legacy and conservative principles in his 1994 Senate campaign and 2002 gubernatorial campaign. Truly...

Rick Santorum has said he will be in the race for the long haul, and I have no reason to doubt his sincerity. But what message does it send his supporters in Florida that he's not even hanging around for election night? Failing to show early signs...

Come on Cheeseheads.  So what if your team isn't going to the Super Bowl, we need someone to get us out of the funk.  Or at least me. I've long predicted that a Scott Walker win in the recall will be the perfect launch to the...

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...
