LI reader and blogger Jeff Dobbs has a post up about Romney's media strategy, which can be termed "hide and hope they don't seek me" (that's my term).  Jeff compares it to Obama's strategy in 2008 of carefully controlling his exposure to the media. The strategy...

When someone finds himself so in need of criticizing the U.S. that he ends up defending the brutal Iranian regime which for over 30 years has funded anti-U.S. and anti-Israel groups around the globe and sought to export Islamist fundamentalism, then all credibility has been lost. See,...

I previously have highlighted the treatment of the "Arab Street" by NY Times columnist Roger Cohen in the midst of the Arab Spring protests, many of which revealed an open and ugly anti-Semitic side: In the Middle East you expect the worst. But having watched Egypt’s extraordinary civic...

I posted yesterday the spot on article by Byron York, The insider-outsider divide over Newt Gingrich, which delves into the great divide between Washington Republican political players (politicians and media) who have their noses out of joint over Newt because he was mean to them in...

It's hard to be shocked at anything anti-Scott Walker protesters do anymore given Wisconsin's Long Strange Trip. So as much as I want to be shocked at anti-Walker protesters greeting the Governor with a Nazi salute at a Christmas Tree lighting ceremony at the State Capitol...

The Center for American Progress (CAP), the George Soros funded Democratic messaging machine, runs the aggressive Think Progress website. Think Progress is obsessed with attacking the Tea Party movement as racist, the Koch Brothers as evil manipulators, and Clarence Thomas as corrupt.  Think Progress blogger Matthew Yglesias helped ignite the false story...

Newt Gingrich just released his first Iowa television ad, a few days after Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul did so. (Some SuperPACs have been running ads longer, but these are from the campaigns.) Very different themes, with Newt keeping it in a "Morning...

There are multiple reports that Herman Cain will endorse Newt tomorrow, based on reporting by Fox 5 in Atlanta.  This would not be a huge surprise, as Cain and Newt had a very good relationship, as witnessed by their joint appearance on the issue of...

I've done this before, more than once.  But now that Herman Cain is out of the race, this may be the last time (probably not, but we can hope): As of today, 5 weeks after Politico broke the story, we still do not know what Herman Cain was...

In the wake of Herman Cain's suspension of his campaign, lots of movement: Michele Bachmann claims to be picking up Cain supporters.  Just stop it.  Just stop it.  This is the same thing you pulled over the summer about Palin planning to endorse you. Rick Santorum seems...

I just finished classes on Thursday and now I'm in finals territory. I have two papers and two cumulative exams between this week and next. I abhor cumulative exams. They are a total time drain and I have yet to feel productive while studying for one....

John Hinderaker at Power Line writes the following about the departure of Herman Cain (bracketed "Points" mine): [Point 1] What happened to Herman Cain is what the Democrats intend to do to whoever the Republican nominee turns out to be.  They know they can’t win a...

We definitely have a hokey pokey administration, except that we only seem to put our left hand and foot out. That probably suits this vehicle owner, since it was spotted in Ithaca: ...

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...

Michele Walk has noticed that Alan Grayson is gracing these pages with great frequency, and adds "I hope people are clicking on the ads -- nothing sweeter than making Grayson pay conservative bloggers!" I fully understand sentiment, but ...
