Cindy Crawford has joined the Romney campaign.  “Good get” somehow seems insufficient. Add this endorsement to Romney’s $10-plus million haul this week, and I’d say the former Massachusetts governor has it going on. Let’s see if he can keep the momentum in the wake of the Huckabee/Trump declinations. Romney is the most electable Republican running.  But […]

Bachman has been much maligned as an inconsequential Tea Party kook, but she brings to […]

An old friend emailed today to tell me I’ve been bumming her out with my recent posts. She asked that I end the week on a positive note. Her note reminded me of my late uncle Jack, who for years was a radio personality on WOR Radio in New York, and then on stations in Philadelphia and Arizona (he […]
