Thanks to frequent photographer Scott, who writes: Attached is a photo of a sticker I saw in my travels this week. I couldn't believe someone would be so brusque. It may not be 'fitting' for a highlight on your site but I thought you could add...

Only John Sununu, Sr. could make me like Chris Matthews. Sununu was George H.W. Bush's Chief of Staff.  He holds a bitter grudge against Newt because Newt opposed Bush breaking his no new taxes pledge, and he convinced Bush to nominate David Souter. Sununu will be the guy whispering in Romney's...

John Podhoretz in The NY Post, It’s a ‘Mitt’ wrap, early this morning: That’s a wrap. I’m calling this thing. Unless something terrible comes out  about him in the next few weeks, Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee. If you were to analogize last night’s nationally...

This video is sure to result in great mockery, as Romney says that a couple of times in his life he feared getting a pink slip. But remember, fearing a pink slip a couple of times is a couple of times more than Barack Obama ever feared...

Today is the anniversary of the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords and the murder of several others, including a federal judge and a young girl, by Jared Loughner. The victims appropriately will be remembered. Further investigation revealed that Loughner lived in a non-political paranoid delusional world, and to the extent...

The line of the Meet The Press debate this morning. It started out with a typical Romney speech about not being a career policitian, a Santorum attack on that statement, a Romney response, and a Newt follow up: It is the word: ...

Endgame assessment: I give the debate to Newt (and so does Larry Sabato), who was aggressive without being offensive, and once again scored the line of the night about Romney "pious baloney." But, that said, I don't think much damage was done to Romney.  The upside for...

Endgame Analysis:  Romney has to be happy.  He came away unscathed.  No one went after him in a confrontational manner. The prevailing wisdom will be that Newt failed to attack, but Newt's in a no win situation.  If he attacks aggressively, he's bad, angry Newt; if...

Debate starts at 9 p.m. Eastern.  Some things possibly relevant: There is another debate Sunday morning on Meet the Press.  Are they kidding? Via Instapundit, Byron York says that it was Newt's reaction to the negative ads rather than the ads themselves which did the most damage. ...

Every now and then there is just one of those mainstream media moments which points out how false narratives are created. This time it's a story from CBS Boston titled Gingrich Left ‘Speechless’ By Young Voter’s ‘Old People’ Question (h/t reader punfundit in the Tip Line).  Here's the pertinent...

I keep thinking, when, not if. And what will happen to the heavy missiles and chemical weapons. I presume the Israelis have a plan. Some of the latest headlines: Now we're getting tough - Obama Administration Seeks to Remove Syria From Human Rights Committee. 'Syrian military...

The Romney campaign expects to have the nomination all but wrapped up by the end of January The Washington Post reports, and is using surrogates like John McCain to push the narrative that if Romney wins the first three (or four) states, it's over.  One of...

There must be tens of thousands of stories like this one from Charles Lane of The Washington Post about his child who died in utero just hours before a scheduled c-section: We, like the Santorums, took a photograph of the baby -- lying, as if asleep, in...
