Ann Romney: "I Don't Consider Myself Wealthy" (she could be your next first lady) /


Ann Romney says that being worth $200 million isn't considered wealthy-- okay, okay, okay, that's not really what she said, however it is the way it's being reported. I have to say that liberals have taken Ms. Romney's comments completely out of context. I believe it was a failed attempt to sound normal and un-rich--again, failed attempt. Do I feel sorry for the Romney campaign, for the beating that they're taking as a result of Ann's comment? Nope. Republicans did the same thing to Michelle Obama in 2008. Remember this comment?

Obama's Approval Rating Shoots Up, While Republicans Duke It Out For His Job /


If you enjoy seeing Obama's oversized, pearly white smile, there has never been a better time to catch it than now! While Republicans continue going after one another in an attempt to win their party's nomination for president, President Obama sits comfortably at a 50 percent approval rating--up from 43 percent. Obama's upswing has a lot to do with the improving economy. Last month, applications for unemployment fell to a four-year low, the economy expanded by 2.8 percent, and the unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent--a two-year low. The graph below shows that Obama crushes the competition when put in a head-to-head match up with any of the GOP contenders, including Mitt Romney.

Bad Blood In the GOP? Newt Refuses to Congratulate Mitt On Florida Win /


Mitt Romney771,84246.4%

The bad blood between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney was boiling last night as Romney claimed his second primary victory in Florida. It is standard protocol in politics for the person who loses the race to call the winner and congratulate them on their victory—it’s a way to keep the game from getting too nasty. During his concession speech, Gingrich refused to concede the race—never mentioning Romney’s victory. Gingrich has vowed to stay in the race, refusing to give Romney and easy win. The Obama campaign couldn’t be happier about Gingrich’s pledge. See, the longer Gingrich stays in the race, the more he bashes Romney, therefore softening him up for the general election. Even though Mitt Romney will more than likely be the nominee, it is amazing to watch his favorability ratings drop with each ad that Gingrich releases. Gingrich’s so called concession speech is below.

Last Night's Republican Debate: The Mitt & Newt Clown Show /


Mitt Romney, left, began the debate Monday with attacks against Newt Gingrich.
Last night at the Florida Republican debate, it was all about Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.  If you haven’t been following my posts about the Republican primary then shame on you! Now I have to bring you up to speed. Right now, we have four candidates left—all fighting for their party’s nomination for president—Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney. Romney will be the likely nominee, but since this campaign began there have been several candidates to shoot up in the polls and knock Romney off of his front-runner thrown. For the second time, Newt Gingrich has been that man. After his win against Romney in the South Carolina primary, Gingrich has the entire Republican Party biting their nails, hoping he doesn’t win the party’s nomination. Why? Because deep down, Republicans know that Gingrich’s arrogant tone, extreme positions and racial remarks will never win a general election against President Obama. Like all of the ones before, last night’s debate was a clown show—and even though it was missing two of the biggest political clowns in the Republican Party (Michele Bachmann & Rick Perry) it still managed to entertain from beginning to end. Mitt Romney decided to prove to the people that he was tough by ripping into Newt Gingrich—not for his alleged infidelities—but for the lobbying (influencing laws in order to benefit a company) that he did for Freddie Mac. The video below shows some of the toughest blows Romney has thrown throughout the campaign. This is good stuff!

Michelle Bachmann Is Out, Other GOP Candidates Move On to New Hampshire /


Just a few moments ago, after a troubling defeat, presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann bowed out of the Republican primary. Bachmann received only five percent of the caucus vote last night in Iowa. She gave a weird concession speech that lost me about 10 minutes in—we’ll post when it becomes available. In the meantime enjoy the many lies of Michele Bachmann …

Mitt Romney Edges Out A Win In Iowa Despite Santorum Surge /


At 12:40 a.m. this morning the race for the Republican nomination for president was still too close to call. There was no surprise that Mitt Romney (left) made it to the final finish, but his challenger was a surprise to everyone outside the state of Iowa. At the last minute, Rick Santorum (right)surged ahead of all of the other GOP candidates to end up on the hems of Romney—who has managed to maintain front runner status since the beginning of the race. The Romney campaign should rightfully claim victory for their win in Iowa, but it would behoove them to acknowledge last night’s real winner—Rick Santorum. For someone like Santorum (who came from single-digit poll numbers) to come that close (eight votes) to beating someone who has managed to hold on to their front-runner status since the beginning of the campaign is the ultimate momentum builder, and that, the Romney campaign should be very afraid of. Take a look at Rick Santorum’s pretty powerful speech last night, before Mitt Romney was named Iowa’s Republican pick.

Mitt Romney spoke shortly after Santorum, giving a very combative and arrogant speech—targeting President Obama.
With unemployment numbers at a two-and-a-half-year low and 20 straight months of private sector job growth—I’m not sure the anti-Obama message that Romney’s spewing is going resonate with many Americans in the general election. Your thoughts?
