“Gingrich may be a lightning rod, but he also embodies the revolution like no one else”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on December 04, 2011 25 Comments

There are certain times you read something, and say Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. And sometimes that thing was said long ago but still applies today, like this article from The Weekly Standard, Why Newt Must Run (h/t HotAir)(emphasis mine): But just as the Gingrich of November...

Huckabee Candidates Forum

End Game Assessment: Something different. Not sure we learned much. Not having everyone or at least multiple candidates together allowed for stock answers. This was not a format in which one candidate clearly could be a winner or loser. Clearly went after Newt with the most...

On June 6, 2010, I asked the question Can Israel Survive A Second Obama Term? This past week has seen the coming together of the growing Islamist-Leftist Coalition in the war against Israel. Leftists who, among other things, claim to believe in freedom of speech, women’s rights...

Politico targets Newt

Politico targeted Herman Cain in an almost unprecedented fashion, turning its homepage into all Herman Cain all the time for about two weeks. Politico can move and shape a story because of its high traffic (reportedly 60 million page views a month and 8-10 million "unique...

What a day. I'm going to try to stay away from Newt-Mitt-fest, but no guarantees: Egyptian Unity: "All parties can agree on dislike for Israel" 25 year contempt of court sentence upheld. Yeah, but there's a back story. Someone is surging among Hot Air readers (I voted, but I...

Romney one step closer to Pawlentyville

Posted by William A. Jacobson on December 02, 2011 35 Comments

What did I tell you just this morning. Mitt Romney needs to take on Newt face-to-face, mano a mano, to demonstrate that Mitt is not Tim Pawlenty, someone who can dish it out through surrogates or in television interviews, but not in person. This is a sign...

I take issue with Don Surber's recent piece, titled "Debates work.": The much-maligned mainstream media is doing its job and that is helping Republicans get their message out, while at the same time ridding the party of its losers quickly. Better to have a Rick Perry...
