There is a meme developing among Romney supporters in the comments that my focus lately on the dangers Bain presents in a general election is a visceral reaction to Romney's SuperPAC going negative on Newt in Iowa in December 2011. Actually, I have been sounding the warning on Romney's...

Operation Counterweight commenced on June 10, 2011: Why do I have this feeling that the back-stabbing and petty politics of the Republican insiders are going to leave me completely unexcited about the presidential campaign, and more focused on electing conservatives to Congress as a counterweight to...

The "finest example"? Them's some mighty big shoes to fill, but this might just do it. Thanks for this now-classic from reader JanT, who writes: You're doing a great job with the blog, sir, and I especially like your commentary, not to mention the fun bumper sticker...

I previously have posted about the RI-01 congressional race, which is my home district, a seat currently held by Democratic former Providence Mayor David Cicilline.

Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire primary.  While the results are not final as of this writing, it looks like he comes in at 37-38%, with about the same total number of votes as in 2008. Here are the tweets of the night, bitter and otherwise. Tora...
