Some links I've been collecting: You'll get yours, my Ricky, and your little campaign too. Battle of the GOP blondes. Obama helps create jobs about as well as he golfs, although he tries harder at golf. Smearing Newt as racist.  But of course. [link fixed] Conservative is what Ann Coulter says...

I'll post the Nevada results later.  Romney won big there in 2008  (51.1%) because of the heavy Mormon turnout at the caucuses and is expected to do so again. The big story was the revelation in The NY Times that the Romney campaign, both directly and...

Rick Santorum recently released  an attack ad on Newt Gingrich criticizing him as a big government conservative touting the line, “Rick Santorum for President. He doesn’t just talk a good conservative game, he lives it.” Why is Santorum drawing attention to his fellow candidates' records of...
