In fact I submit it helped him far more than it hurt him in his spectacular rise to the top of the polls. What’s more fascinating is Cain’s persistent calls [...]

They recognized that their views were not held by a majority of Americans—at least not yet.

With the hyper partisan climate choking the life out of Washington elected officials, Congress’ approval ratings have shrunk to unprecedented depths. Their ability to conduct the people’s business as diminished significantly as their approval hovers around the nine percent range.

This video leaves little doubt as to what type of campaign President Obama would wage against republican nominee Newt Gingrich. It’s brutal tone is only matched by its reality. No matter how much Newt professes to be the outsider with a spine of steel, his actions and words always belie that. The president isn’t [...]

Not only is it the price of a pizza, it’s the price of a pizza at Godfather’s Pizza. Yes, Godfather’s Pizza– where the current Republican presidential nominee Herman Cain was the CEO. Jon Huntsman was clearly prescient in his pronouncement. Herman Cain may not be the next president, but he damn sure knows how to [...]

Chris Wallace had the right theme in questioning Michele Bachmann on Fox News Sunday. While the wisdom of his line of questioning was sound, his approach leaned heavily to the land of soft toss–not unexpected by a Fox host toward a conservative guest.

I wouldn’t say these jokes about Barack Obama are racially charged. They may push the envelope on good taste though. More broadly, they lack certain sensibilities. It’s almost as if Brown expected his audience to soak up the venom gladly. Not with the cameras running. I’ve heard worse, but don’t quit your day job Mr. [...]
