Romney flips, then flops
Last summer Romney supported the Republicans who pushed for the automatic cuts in the budget in a trade for raising the debt limit. Today Romney assigns those very cuts that he supported to Obama. Romney can’t even get his own … Continue reading
Who wants to follow in Europe’s footsteps?
Or, which candidate is campaigning on the “let’s follow Europe” theme? One of the complaints about Obama has been his “European-Style Socialism” (which he mocked in his jokes at the correspondents dinner in Washington over the weekend), but the current … Continue reading
If it’s Wednesday, there must be some primary results
A few brief observations on the Alabama/Mississippi/Hawaii results Gingrich is in trouble (he can’t win his “neighboring” state of Alabama) Santorum can win the conservative vote and not much else (i.e. look at Hawaii) Romney isn’t liked by very many … Continue reading

Romney strongly supports Obamacare
Mitt Romney in a comment on firing people who provide service to him has given a strong endorsement of one of the major parts of Obamacare. His example was that he should be able to change insurance companies if he … Continue reading
Romney in New Hampshire
The polls indicate Romney has about 41% of the (Republican) primary vote in New Hampshire (we’ll see what the real number is tomorrow). I guess in New Hampshire this constitutes a victory, after all McCarthy beat Johnson in 1968 with … Continue reading
