Does Hillary Clinton see the tunnel closing
If her closing remarks are any indication that she sees this campaign all but over, then yes. In last night’s debate, Clinton said she was “honored” to be on stage with him and shook his hand, and was roundly praised by her campaign.
“And, you know, no matter what happens in this contest … I am […]
Fred Thompson very successful in last two weeks of campaign
I found this very interesting considering that he dropped out after South Carolina, admittedly he performed very poorly considering the circumstances. Thompson was the victim of the times and opportunity. Mike Huckabee was allowed to climb uncontested the month leading up to Iowa. He was viewed as Romney’s problem then, but he soon became everybody’s […]

This presidential bid is paying off for MiKe Huckabee
For a paid public speaker and blossoming TV-personality, he’s not a bad candidate either. Oh sure he is still “battling” for every vote against McCain for the Republican nomination, but he drops off the campaign trail from time to time to give a few paid speeches.
He will be addressing a Colorado based group, the Leadership […]
Good news for GOP; Arizona Congressman Shadegg will run again
As if the GOP could afford another retirement from senior official, I lost count after 20-something. Congressman John Shadegg announced Thursday that he will run for re-election, reversing a surprise decision he made last week to retire.
Shadegg said he was convinced to reconsider by an outpouring of support, most importantly a letter signed by 145 […]
Ron Paul’s presidential campaign will continue
Ron Paul vowed to continue his current campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. This comes as good news to all the Paulbots out there who have been hearing that Paul effectively ended his campaign without formally withdrawing from the race. Also, this may send a message that Paul is confident of his chances to hold […]

The “missing candidate” is convicted of faking disappearance
Gary Dodds, businessman and Democratic congressional candidate, was convicted Wednesday of faking his disappearance after a car crash two years ago to draw attention to his long-shot congressional campaign. The jury in Dover, NH convicted him of falsifying evidence, causing a false public alarm and leaving the scene of the April 2006 crash.
This guy claimed […]
McCain fires back at the Times “story”
As suspected, and generally believed by most who have read the…uh story, he fully denied the story’s accusations. He claimed that there was never a romantic relationship and never gave special privilege on her behalf.
Here are just a few things that he had to say:
“I think the American people will be very fair in their […]

McCain not looking for commercial VP
Sen. John McCain said today facing either the first African American or first female presidential candidate would not determine his decision when it comes time to pick a running mate.
McCain said he was “not capable of that kind of Machiavellian approach to things.” He said he would look first to whether that person could quickly […]
Mike Huckabee…Yep he’s staying in
He wants to ensure that conservatives have a choice and that the party addresses issues like controlling U.S. borders and reforming the tax code. Something he knows neither about.
“Those are the reasons I’m hanging in there” Huckabee, 52, said today. The foot soldiers of the Republican Party, the conservatives in the Republican Party, need to […]
The Jena Six — and Other Scams
by Patrick J. Buchanan
“(S)ome Americans do not understand why the sight of a noose causes such a visceral reaction,” declared President Bush to the White House gathering for Black History Month.
As The Washington Post rushed to remind us, President Bush was “responding to news coverage of such episodes as the ‘Jena Six.’”
But if history is […]

Clinton is officially down to few options
O how the mighty fall. Once the “super-candidate” of the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton has seen every imaginable thing go wrong. The latest is the embarrassing defeat in Wisconsin…a 17% trouncing to be precise. Obama racked up his ninth win in a row and showed a trend that has to be scaring the Clinton establishment, […]
