Obama gave a speech to the United Auto Workers laced with what Greg Sargeant described as "withering derision": A key line: “I keep on hearing these same folks talk about values all the time. You want to talk about values? Hard work: That’s a value. Looking...

I didn't watch the Halftime show yesterday, but I did notice Twitter light up like a Christmas Holiday tree, with shouts of Et tu Clint! Now I know why: It pretty much was an Obama commercial supporting the government bailout of Chrysler: Apparently the ad was pulled from YouTube...

Conservative blogger John Hawkins (Right Wing News and elsewhere) poses the age-old conservative question: Choose to have your head cut off with a chainsaw (voting for Obama) or just a limb removed (voting for Mitt). John chooses life and limb (he's a Newt supporter). ...

Mitt Romney "surges" when he and his SuperPAC outspend rivals on negative ads several times over.  In Florida he has outspent Newt by $12 million, and it is showing up in the polls. Mark Levin made a good point yesterday as to why Romney outspending Republican...

If you asked me even a couple of weeks ago whether the Republican Party could heal from the wounds of this election cycle in time to unite against Obama, I would have said "Yes." I'm not so sure anymore.  After the South Carolina primary the Republican establishment, and...

Dear Hillary supporters: You have had to swallow a lot of pride, but this should make you choke: "Change We Can Believe In", a key Obama campaign slogan, was meant   as a slur against Mrs Clinton's personality, intended to highlight how she "couldn't be trusted or believed in...

Via WaPo: All told, Obama held four fundraisers in New York on Thursday, flying here after unveiling a new proposal in Orlando, related to boosting tourism. While his four remaining Republican rivals held another televised debate in South Carolina, Obama was filling his war chest by talking...

Last night's debate reminded people of why Newt surged in the fall before Romney's SuperPAC and almost the entire conservative media went after him in December. This was one of the highlights (which led to Juan williams asking the ill-fated follow-up on the "food stamp president" line): Here...

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...

The second Mitt Romney announced he would not release his income tax returns if he becomes nominee I predicted it would not stand because the refusal would, at a minimum, create a major distraction.  It's part of a larger problem with secrecy which will haunt Romney if...

"Why Is No One Attacking Romney?"  That's the question I have been pounding all fall, particularly in the past 6 weeks. It's also the question asked by Alex Roarty at National Journal: It's an old story this primary, where Romney has not faced the kind of...

I posted two days ago about the interrelationship between the Obama campaign and the Center for American Progress, White House and Think Progress merger complete.  A former senior Obama campaign staffer now runs CAP, and a current senior CAP strategist is set to take over...

Some people in the Republican Party want to follow John McCain's policy of not going after Obama personally: Republicans on a private Republican National Committee conference call with allies warned Tuesday that party surrogates should refrain from personal attacks against President Barack Obama, because such a...

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...

Here's the background via The NY Post: Considering that President Obama has practically made New York his second  home between fund-raising, UN visits and “date nights” with the missus, you’d  think he’d be a little more sympathetic to beleaguered residents and workers  schlepping home on a...

Calling Tad Devine.  You reopened the door by claiming the Romney campaign was bringing Jeremiah Wright back into play when clearly it was not.  Basically, you told people not to think about the pink elephant. Now The Daily Caller has some more video of Obama praising...
