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...

It's no secret that Ann Coulter is no fan of Newt Gingrich. The staunch Romney supporter isn’t shy about conveying her dissatisfaction with Gingrich in general, and particularly with his straight forward, and occasionally harsh manner of speaking. Back in December, while the Romney Super PACs...

Why is he doing this? Is his campaign really that incompetent? Having successfully shut down scrutiny in the primaries (but not the general election) of his Bain record with unfounded cries of "Newt's attacking capitalism and free markets," Romney is back to what started it all, the demand...

Mitt Romney's campaign is in trouble.  The trouble is not just the South Carolina vote count.  Romney's internal polling almost certainly also showed that he was behind in Florida, as public polling released today reflects. More worrisome for Romney is a growing chorus of doubters within the...
