Via SooperMexican( emphasis in original): Today it’s being widely reported that Romney had a moment were he was amazed at the existence of WAWAs, a convenience/gas store, and the electronic touchtone ordering of sandwiches. They have spun this to make it seem like he’s out of touch...

Why now? Because Team Obama is proving itself to be too smart by half, and too incompetent by three-quarters. There is a way to do Bain, but I'm done giving that advice.  Rehashing old news, which already has been out for months, isn't going to do the...

It started out as a massive 5000-word hit piece on Mitt Romney reminiscent of what The Washington Post did to Rick Perry about a rock on his family hunting ground. WaPo put a reporter (or more) on the case and apparently spared no effort to find...

Rick Santorum has endorsed Mitt Romney via an overnight e-mail sent to supporters.  Here's the link to the e-mail (h/t Politico). Is there an endorsement in there someplace? Yeah, I guess there is, but it's buried in paragraph 13 and half-hearted: Above all else, we both agree that President...

Jennifer Rubin, the "right" blogger at The Washington Post, gained fame throughout the primaries by obsessively skewering each not-Romney who rose in the polls, even not-Romneys like Rick Santorum she had praised when convenient to use against another not-Romney.

Newt Gingrich will be exiting the race next week.  Newt not only will endorse Mitt Romney for President, Newt will pledge to work without rest to defeat Obama. Is there anyone Romney would rather have on his side than Newt? Oh yes, Newt will go there so...

Defeating Barack Obama is a priority. So is keeping the presumptive nominee from etch-a-sketching and erasing the conservative movement. Via Byron York: At a closed-to-the-press Florida fundraiser Sunday night at which his remarks were overheard by some reporters standing outside, Mitt Romney was asked about his media strategy...
