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...

Ann Althouse is 8

At least her blog, that is: It was back on January 14, 2004 that I crossed the line into the blogosphere. (That's what we called it then, the blogosphere.) After posting every single day — absolutely never even one day away — I'm still having a...

Newt finding his theme — attack Romney’s electability

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 14, 2012 57 Comments

The Bain attack ads have hurt Romney in South Carolina, as a Romney supporter acknowledges, although nowhere near the impact Romney's SuperPAC's anti-Newt ads had in Iowa. (Before the Romney supporters get all preachy, I've had a chance to look back at some of those...

Lotsa Middle East chatter

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 14, 2012 10 Comments

There seems to be a war brewing in the Middle East, if not on the battlefield at least in the political realm. The Wall Street Journal and many others report tension between the U.S. and Israel over a potential strike on Iran. There also is tension over...

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...

Dear South Carolinians: A vote for Perry or Santorum is a vote for Romney’s inevitability

Quin Hillyer, who has been pretty brutal in his posts about Newt, details the reasons to doubt that Romney can beat Obama, Why Romney is Weak vs. Obama: Then there's the attacks on his tenure at Bain Capital. The attacks are over-the-top and unfair. But coming...

Romney SuperPAC going after Santorum

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 13, 2012 23 Comments

Via The Hill: Restore Our Future, an outside group backing Mitt Romney, is taking its first shot at Rick Santorum. The group is running ads in South Carolina and Florida criticizing Santorum for supporting earmarks, part of multi-million dollar ad buys running in the states. Fair? In...

Did King of Bain deserve 4 Pinnochios?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 13, 2012 78 Comments

The Washington Post has awarded The King of Bain four Pinnochios, much as it awarded four Pinnochios to a Romney SuperPAC ad which devastated Newt in Iowa. Romney's response at the time basically was, who me? The King of Bain is a mini-documentary created by a former...

Sounds like John Sununu threatened Sheldon Adelson

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 13, 2012 61 Comments

John Sununu pretty much threatened Sheldon Adelson, who is funding a pro-Newt SuperPAC running ads about Bain, with retribution (emphasis mine): This went under the radar in the crush of primary day activity yesterday, but former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu — who has been among...

Consistency in the defense of liberty is no vice

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 12, 2012 70 Comments

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...
