J Walking

He’s got a very long way to go. There are another 28 (or so) primaries in the next month (or so). He hasn’t been spending a whole lot time in those other states. He has no campaign infrastructure. He doesn’t have nearly enough money to compete with Giuliani or Romney. BUT – evangelical givers have…

The question going forward is how many other candidates will get Huckabeed. It is easy for the pundits to say that winning in Iowa isn’t that big a deal – after all, Reagan didn’t win in 1980 and the first Bush didn’t win in 1988. That is true. But these things are also true –…

Is there any bigger example of Hillary’s problem than the visual of her concession speech? The placard on the front of the podium reads, “Ready for Change.” The two most prominent people standing behind her? Former Clinton Sec’y of State Madeline Albright and President Clinton. They are the embodiment of the establishment.

Sir Mitt’s problem is isn’t a lack of authenticity it is that he is passionately authentic about everything. I was just watching this clip below from a 1994 debate with Senator Kennedy during Romney’s first run for office. It is a little bit eerie not because his positions changed but because of how he makes…

Every parent knows one of the simple truths of life is that there is no privacy. That is especially true in the bathroom. “What ‘cha doin Daddy???” is heard moments before the bathroom door is flung open and a little one stands before you going, “Oh, Daddy is going potty!” “Hey Mommy, Daddy is going…

Got this last night from a senior Republican official… Over the holiday Time Magazine ran an article that most either missed due to the festivities or dismissed because of its apparent similarity to numerous other articles reporting on the Republican presidential field. However, in discussing the 2008 race, the article raises a point that merits…
