Just when I was feeling pretty good about 2012, I see photos like this one from “The Response”, the 30,000-person prayer rally headlined today by Texas governor and probable presidential candidate Rick Perry. It gives me a slight case of the willies. Maybe it’s because I come from the Northeast where we don’t wear religion on […]

University of Virginia Law School professor Christopher Sprigman tries to begin a Draft Hillary movement in the Chicago Tribune today. The former Obama supporter and Democratic National Committee lecturer blasts away at President Obama, writing: “I’m not a political expert, so I don’t know if Obama can be re-elected. I only know he shouldn’t be. […]

http://youtu.be/UPy7RnHwvmA Thought it might be interesting to post the very first Obama for President campaign ad. His committee wasn’t event formed when this spot went up. It was aired by DraftObama.org, a precursor to Obama for President. He sure looks a whole lot younger than he does today… Contrast the ad with President Obama’s remarks […]

There is a 2,800-word bombshell story in Politico this morning outlining the depth and multitude of challenges President Obama’s re-election team is facing.

Celebrity Republican Kelsey Grammer is reportedly looking at a run for Mayor of New York City. I don’t buy it. I bet he’s looking at U.S. Senate. If he’s serious about running, he has to be looking at the 2012 Senate race. It makes a lot more sense. Running as a Republican statewide, while extremely challenging, is […]

The federal government is now mandating that Pennsylvanians on public assistance be given free cell phones and monthly calling minutes on the public dime, The New York Post reports today. And guess who pays for it? Everyone else of course. The Obama Administration is using Pennsylvania, a swing-state in the 2012 election, as a test ground for this new […]

Barack Obama, arguably the most exalted new president in American history, is falling, meteorically, to earth. It’s not just his poll numbers that are problematic. His wings are singed.
