I have a confession to make. I was really bored by Tuesday’s Republican debate. I know, its shocking. Somebody found a primary debate boring? Quel horreur! It is my job to comment on such things and I watched it eagerly, but as I was writing my traditional recap I realized that I just wasn’t that [...]

Why do people watch races? Of course it’s to see their favorite driver take the checkered flag, but also.. the crashes. Is that also why we watch political debates? In the early debates, we might have been watching traded-barb after traded barb to mentally score the good answers and the bad. Race fans watch the constant [...]
It is seriously time for the “Right” to move back to the right candidate. That candidate is Michele Bachmann. Last night, 11/12/11, Perry continued to stutter, but fortunately didn’t loose his place in his sentence. But he did overplay his debacle from Wednesday night. He can’t let it go and move on. Most people on [...]
An email was inadvertently sent to the communications director of Michele Bachman’s campaign from CBS news that indicates that Bachmann was going to be officially minimized in the debate. The email is actually a discussion of Rep. Bachmann’s possible appearance on a web show with John Dickerson and crew. John’s response demonstrates what all debate [...]

While Rick Perry’s “Oops” moment is one of the most reported from Wednesday night’s debate, Rep. Bachmann dropped a bomb on the stage that seems to have largely been ignored by the media – Chinese counterfeit computer components are showing up in U.S. defense weapon systems. As long ago as 2005, Bloomberg reported that fake [...]
CNBC hosted the “Your Money, Your Vote” Republican debate Wednesday night and Jim Cramer is a loud bugger, isn’t he? The CNBC financial analyst who is famous for his apology tour after he criticized Obama early in his regime was one of 3 moderators in Wednesday’s debate. He was also the loudest. Cramer’s perpetual outside [...]

Attendees included Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, John Huntsman, Ron Paul, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum in another heavily-moderated game show-style format. The focus [...]
Herman Cain has claimed the position of frontrunner…. at least in one poll. An average of polls provided by Real Clear Politics from October 7 – 16 has Cain in the slimmest of leads, just a half a point ahead of Mitt Romney, 26% to 25.5% respectively. This is obviously well within the margin of [...]
CNN hosted the latest Republican debate in Las Vegas Tuesday night and many are hailing it as the best debate yet. Perhaps it was the mere spectacle of debating in a city famous for excess, championship boxing events and gambling that inspired the candidates. At points the debate took on the feel of a sporting [...]
Overview At 8pm on Tuesday October 18th, CNN and the Western Republican Leadership Conference hested the most recent in a line of GOP Presidential debates. Many of the early front-runners have struggled in the most recent debates. Mitt Romney has seen his once-formidable lead become second pace to a rotating cadre of new blood. Rick [...]
Now I love red meat as much as anyone else. Just look at this piece I wrote about Janeane Garofalo. Or how about this (hilarious) video I made that discusses my disappointment with California letting 12 year old girls get abortions behind their parents’ back. Red meat can be fun, and there’s a place for [...]
It is hard to imagine a presidential candidate that is not focusing on a policy for Jobs creation. It is the latest pet rock for the political rocket scientists. Here is the flash that is in the pan: “What will you do to create jobs for Americans?” That is what the 2012 presidential race is [...]
