“You have maybe two weeks to Stop Worrying and Start Loving Romney”

So suggests Randall Hoven: I can't say he's wrong. I can say that it will be a disaster for our general election chances if the primaries are over so soon, before the bubble of Romney's electability is fully probed in the conservative media. Andy McCarthy joins a growing chorus...

Posted by Bryan Jacoutot on January 15, 2012 101 Comments

With much of the political punditry all but declaring Mitt Romney the 2012 Republican nominee, I decided to take a brief look at each of the remaining candidates to see what, if any, are the chances of them actually achieving the nomination as we move...

I was hesitant to post the video below, but since it is receiving a lot of press coverage, particularly in Utah, it's not like I'm helping spread something that's not already out there. And you have to see what is coming down the pike. If you thought 2008...

Going Godwin to defend Bain

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 13, 2012 64 Comments

This is getting ridiculous, the contortions people are undergoing to make believe Bain is not a problem for Mitt Romney. It's bad enough that they have conflated defending Bain with a defense of capitalism and free markets. I also noted yesterday how a couple of Romney defenders on...
