Hostage Situation at Clinton Campaign Office Ends Peacefully

Just a quick news update, I know this have been slow on the site, but it seems like every time I say I’m going to start blogging more, things at school get busy. Anyway, there was a scare at a Clinton campaign office in NH today, that, thankfully, ended without injury. From the AP:
“ROCHESTER, N.H. [...]

Mike Huckabee on Immigration

Helping illegals achieve their dreams, giving government aid to those who entered our country illegally, portraying illegals as victims rather than law-breakers, it all sounds like what you would find in a typical liberal stump speech, possibly made by John Edwards or Hillary Clinton, right? Wrong. Those things arebread-and-butter liberal arguments made in support of [...]

Josh’s Endorsement

Imagine coming home from vacation to find most of your front yard taken up by a sign for a candidate you are not supporting. Well, as you’ve probably seen by now, it happened to me this weekend – except that it was a McCain endorsement on the front page of blog – courtesy of Josh.
Well, [...]

Josh4viceprez doesn’t make endorsements…

He tells you how you’re going to vote.
And you’re going to vote for John McCain.  Out of all the silly people running for President, could you really imagine anyone else as Commander in Chief? Ok, military service doesn’t equal foreign policy experience. If it did, Admiral Stockdale would be qualified to be President. (Yes, Stockdale [...]

“In an apparent push poll, a research firm has called Iowa Republicans this week praising John McCain and critcizing Mitt Romney and his Mormon faith.  
An individual in [...]

This is interesting…

We all know Romney has changed positions on some issues in the past, but apparently, the man who also is quickly becoming his biggest opponent in Iowa is in exactly the same boat. I’m talking about Mike Huckabee, and, in case you didn’t know, one of the most secure pillars of his candidacy is support [...]

A Good Day for Romney

I don’t want to overstate this, but today has probably been one of the best days for the Romney Campaign since his announcement. A combination of good polling and an important endorsement could help give Romney that final boost he needs to get an insurmountable lock on the nomination.
Starting with the Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll:

Fred’s Fall

From the point of view of an unaligned political watcher, the rise and fall of Fred Thompson  has been interesting to observe. From the point of view of a strong Romney supporter, it has been a dizzying wave of polls, speculation, and news stories – finally culminating in what seems to be a labeling of Thompson [...]

Romney Leads Big in NH, IA

Well, a couple weeks ago, it looked like Rudy was making it a close race in NH. Now, well, he trails big. I don’t know what Romney is doing right, but it is clearly working. He now has a 15% lead in the Granite state, and a 16% lead in Iowa. Here are the latest [...]
