Take it for What it’s Worth…

This poll comes with the usual fine print about ARG and South Carolina, but if true, Romney has taken the lead in SC – meaning that Florida would be the only early state where he is still having problems. ARG has a habit of spewing out completely unreliable polling, so this could very well be skewed. We [...]

Giuliani’s Problem

One of the most accepted theories among amateur political-watchers such as myself is that, despite running third or fourth in most national polls, Mitt Romney joins Rudy Giuliani as the two men most likely to win the Republican nomination. And, considering that the election is decided by individual state elections, rather than one national one, [...]

Gingrich Won’t Run

The last major unknown about the Republican field in 2008 is finally known. The last big question about exactly who will run and who won’t is answered (though there are 101 other questions about the race in general). Fmr. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will not run for President. Apparently, there were legalities surrounding [...]

Rasmussen Update

I know I have not done a polling update in a long time on here, but I think it might be good to give my readers a general idea of what national opinion looks like at the moment, along with some commentary below. Here it is:
Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll – September 28, 2007
Fred Thompson – [...]

Weekend Preview

Well, its homecoming weekend, and I just got back from the game, which, while both exciting and entertaining (it went into overtime), was, in the end, a little depressing (we lost – in case you did not figure that out). Anyway, I have neither the energy nor the will to post any thing major tonight. [...]

Two Romneys Sidelined

Both Mitt Romney and his son Tagg are temporarily off the campaign trail – the candidate by a bad cold (which he apparently picked up while in Michigan – Sorry Mitt!), and Tagg by some kind of injury, though he has refused to say exactly what caused it. Mitt is expected to make an appearance [...]

Open Topic: Unions

Well, I HAD a good, long post planned for release tonight – until WP lost 90% of it. Since, I’m not in the mood to re-type the entire thing, I decided on plan “B”.
I don’t know how many of you have seen the news yet, but General Motors has been hit by a nation-wide UAW strike. [...]

Mitt on Mackinac – Part II

As promised, I’ve found a copy of Romney’s Macinac speech, and have pulled a few important points to share. The entire speech is too long for me to post on my site, but you can read the entire thing at Romney’s website.
Romney begins by reminding people of his Michigan heritage, and taking a shot at [...]

Mitt on Mackinac

This weekend was the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference in my homestate of Michigan, and many of the Republican candidates attended, including all of the front-runners. The event also included a straw poll, and, if the results of said poll are anyindication, Romney easily won the night, pulling an impressive 39% of the vote. The results:

Mitt [...]

Experimenting

Thanks to some Wikipedia updates, I’m doing a little experimenting with my posts. You may have noticed that, on the couple posts, I have started using “tags”. Unlike categories, which are designed to be broader themes (though I don’t always use them that way), tags are designed to be more specific. This allows me to [...]
