It seems as though everyone had something to celebrate from last night’s primaries (except of course, Ron Paul. Doubtless he had a moral victory). I watched most of the speeches last night, and these are the impressions they made on me: Newt Gingrich came across as a bulldog, but a bulldog that spent way too… Read More Three Wins, Three Speeches
Gingrich is likely to win Georgia and Tennesee. (h/t Memeorandum) What that means, I have no idea. But neither does the media: Gingrich increased his lead slightly since a poll conducted earlier in February, receiving 38 percent of the vote. Rick Santorum received 25 percent, Mitt Romney 19 percent and Ron Paul 4 percent in… Read More The Yawning Chasm of the GOP Primary Season
The former Senator from Viagra claimed that nominating the Newtzilla would result in a “sweeping victory” for President Obama. There are two reasonable responses to this information. Bob Dole is still alive? What the *$^% does Bob Dole know about sweeping victories? Maybe the guy who ran a colorless, gutless campaign against the Man from… Read More Bob Dole Stumps for Romney, Denounces Gingrich
If there’s an economic reason to go to the moon, then private companies should finance it. If there’s not an economic reason to go to the moon, then what — aside from sci-fi frisson — is to be gained by going there? I’ve heard it as a practice run for Mars. Bollocks. Mars is an entirely different… Read More What the Hell is a Moon Base For?
Erick Erickson casts everything in terms of the base in revolt (h/t: memeorandum) against “a milquetoast moderate from Massachusetts” (a phrase so good, Erickson can’t resist repeating it). In every way in the last two weeks, Romney has signaled he won’t fight for the base. He looks like a lost child when trying to answer… Read More Why Newt Won.
For conservatives, I’m a might tired of the weenies who prance around on the Internet as if they’re spoiling for a fight, then when someone with a little fight in them comes along, they start sounding like pussified Republicans. Oh, God, no, we can’t have that go on!! This argument makes him rather late to… Read More Dan Rhiel has had enough.
…no one is a hero in the eyes of his ex-wife. And this all seems like Old News type of stuff (h/t: Memeorandum). We know that Gingrich is erratic and less than a moral paragon. Going into it now just seems like the hell what hath no fury irrupting. Can’t say I blame her, but It… Read More Without Commenting on the Accuracy of Marianne Gingrich’s Allegations…
Stacy McCain links this damning comparison of the 2012 primary election to the 2008 primary election. I’m thinking of a Republican primary. It starts with a candidate (John McCain/Mitt Romney) who ran once before, came in second place, and won over the party’s elite class without winning over its base. Other candidates, understandably unwilling to… Read More The Republican Party Returneth, Like a Dog, Unto its Own Vomit. But it Doesn’t Matter.
Just because I’m cynical about the remaining forlorn hope for a Not-Mitt doesn’t mean I’m any more pleased about it than say, the gang at Protein Wisdom. Let’s consider some other possibilities. Either of the Ricks (Perry or Santorum) Might Win South Carolina. New Hampshire has an open primary. That means Democrats and Independents voted.… Read More In Which I Argue Against Every Point I Just Made About the Election
Apparently “Santorum” is Catholic for “Huckabee.” Personally, I don’t expect much to change in South Carolina. Last time ’round, South Carolina was supposed to be the last bastion against John McCain. South Carolina makes a good last bastion. More to the point, Gingrich has once more demonstrated his tactical incompetence. Who the hell told him… Read More The Bearable Tedium of Mitt Romney
