The only thing I like better than being right, is…nothing. Many scoffed at my article about the New Hampshire Primary and the war over first-in-the-nation status. Just as Iowans nurse their New Year’s hangovers, they will be heading to local high school gymnasiums and meeting halls to pick their President. The Iowa Republican State Central [...]
Well, folks. It’s official – for real this time. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said today he will not be seeking the Presidency in 2012. Tuesday’s announcement by Christie likely sets the Republican field for the 2012 election in stone. Christie was the last remaining potential candidate with the ability to win, and an unknown [...]
What I am about to say is the equivalent of political blasphemy in my home state: the New Hampshire Presidential Primary is no longer relevant in U.S. politics. For those of you not aware, the New Hampshire Constitution has a provision that states New Hampshire shall hold its Presidential primary at least seven days before [...]
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee removed all doubt last night on his self-titled show on whether he would take a second shot at a White House bid. He, and his heart, said “no.” I voted for Huckabee in the 2008 New Hampshire Presidential primary. My reasons for voting for Huckabee were two-fold. First, I agreed [...]
“Hank Aaron smacked it. Dr. King paved it. Number 3 drove it. Jack Daniels drunk it. Hank Williams sang it. Dolly Parton graced it. Billy Graham saved it.” These are not my words, they are Tim McGraw’s. It is a language I am intimately familiar with. I am the proud grandson of a small town [...]
No, the above title is not grammatically incorrect. It is purposeful. The Republican Party is facing an identity crisis. That crisis being who is the Republican’s face? The Republicans remind me of a lanky teenage boy with severe acne and no girlfriend. He goes to the gym and works out, yet still has skinny arms [...]
America awoke to a lot of red this morning. Elections are over, the people have spoken with their votes, results are in and it was an overwhelming Republican victory. The political pendulum has swung in the other direction. While the Republicans gained seats in the Senate it was not quite enough to gain a majority. [...]
Once again it is time for all good citizens to stop what they are doing tomorrow and make the effort to vote. It is your duty as an American to vote. Many have sacrificed for your right to vote. Not voting dishonors their sacrifice. Those that do not vote forfeit their privilege to enter into [...]
Will this be the title of a subchapter in a high school civics book or college political science texts decades from now? This article was sparked by an instant message I received from my cousin late last night that said, “we lost Delaware!” “Lost Deleware? How can we lose Deleware? It is only the primary?” [...]
Barack Obama is completely immersed in what he does best – campaign and blame. Blaming someone else has become the American liberal way and Obama is a master. He is astute at covering up his shortcomings by passing the blame to current Republicans and the past administration. It appears this will be the Democratic campaign [...]
