The Texas Governor’s campaign announced Monday that it is hiring veteran GOP strategists Nelson Warfield, Curt Anderson and Tony Fabrizio. But a spokesman was quick to swat down allegations of a shake up. “This is the natural expansion of a growing campaign,” said communications director Ray Sullivan, sitting in his spartan office in Austin. “No one is leaving, no one is being demoted or forced out.”
Calling into question the entire foundation of neo-liberal economics and proposing one world financial order? You never know what those radicals over at the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace will come up with next.
I realize that it seems every candidate in the Republican 2012 field gets an Andy Warhol-esque fifteen minutes of glory. But color me skeptical about the notion of a Newt Gingrich surge. This National Review story, pegged to some slight fundraising and poll progress by the former House Speaker, leaves me thoroughly unconvinced that Newt [...]
In what’s surely one of the greatest victories struck for American democracy since Cornwallis surrendered to Washington, Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain will (finally) debate one-on-one: “We initially wanted a forum with all of the candidates,” O’Sullivan says. “But when we heard Gingrich say he wanted a more serious debate, like the Lincoln–Douglas debates, we [...]
Did you know that you can’t be in favor of fixing the housing market and not be in favor of President Barack Obama’s American Jobs Act? That was the underlying message of a conference call with two top Obama advisers on Monday morning, nominally convened to explain and take answers from journalists about the much-touted [...]
Obama eyes unilateral executive action on the economy. Infrastructure spending will get the next standalone vote in the Senate. Republicans give the President little credit for foreign policy victories.
When Mitt Romney jousted with Rick Perry at last week’s Republican debate, the skirmish was striking not just for its apparent acrimony, but because it was one of the few moments during his second campaign for President that Romney seemed frazzled. As his rivals’ fortunes rise and fall, the former Massachusetts governor has skated unscathed [...]
Well-connected GOP operatives in New Hampshire, Florida and South Carolina say they see little or no evidence of Herman Cain’s campaign in those key early primary states, and some are even unable to name who is leading his localized efforts just a little more than two months before voters are expected to cast the first ballots of the presidential race.
Yesterday I posted a commentary in this space on what I believe was liberal hypocrisy in the wake of last Thursday’s Washington Post article on conservative U.S. Senator Marco Rubio. But today, in fairness, I think former Massachusetts Governor and leading Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney should be called to question for labeling the Post [...]
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio got it from both sides this past week. First it was the birthers, who it turns out are equal opportunity delusionals. The nativist activists, who’ve misspent every waking hour since November 2008 claiming Barack Obama is not really a U.S. citizen, and therefore not really our President, have no qualms about [...]
