What is going on in the Republican Party? Mike Huckabee claims that Newt is using a clip from Huckabee in 2008 out of context because Huckabee was not referring to Mitt Romney, but in fact Huckabee obviously was referring to Romney. Here's the video of Huckabee voicing...

Thanks to reader Cathy who sent this photo with the subject line "Yeah--I wrote that": While strolling in a beautiful small Florida town I happened to spy this flyer in an unlocked local community board. I had to add my two cents. These stupids make my...

Wow. Sarah Palin just launched a thousand points of fright at Team Romney and the Republican establishment who have been going after Newt's relationship with Ronald Reagan, via Facebook: We have witnessed something very disturbing this week. The Republican establishment which fought Ronald Reagan in the 1970s and...

The Nancy Reagan video I posted the other day now has over 18,000 views on YouTube, was uploaded or linked at Real Clear Politics, Daily Caller, Breitbart TV and dozens of other websites, mentioned by Rush and Hannity, and at the debate. Drudge may try to control the...

I have been pounding the keyboard all week about the lies and distortions of the Romney campaign and supporters about Newt's record of support for Ronald Reagan. These allegations were played out by the Romney campaign and on Drudge, and did serious damage to Newt, both...

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...

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...
