Is Romney Backing Out Bad for the GOP?

February 7, 2008 | 2 Comments

Consider this:
John McCain has pretty much wrapped up the nomination — although I don’t think it’s really a forgone conclusion if Conservatives unite behind Huckabee, but that’s another post.
Because the race is over, the media coverage will drop off. It usually happens to both parties at about the same time. However, the Clinton-Obama […]

Romney’s Out. Will Huckabee follow?

The story I’m hearing is Romney is bowing out because he realized he can’t win and drawing it out further would only be detrimental to the GOP.
AP story from BrietBart:
John McCain effectively sealed the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday as chief rival Mitt Romney suspended his faltering presidential campaign.
“If I fight on in my campaign, […]

Super Tuesday Results: Clear as mud.

Well, that may not be exactly fair. After all, given the way this election has gone, no one really expected the an almost-national primary with so many delegates at stake to solve anything.
Here is what we know.
Barack Obama won more states. Hillary Clinton won more delegates - barely. It’s neck and neck with […]

Over the past year, as I traveled around the country, people from all walks of life welcomed me into their homes and communities with open arms. From house parties to parades to town halls and rallies, […]

The Big Winner: Charlie Crist

January 29, 2008 | 1 Comment

Let’s see. John McCain won the Republican Primary. Amendment 1 passed with more than 60%. Things I didn’t think would happen.
The big reason? Could it be the fact that Governor Charlie Crist took an active role in both?

An interesting note that McCain received almost 50% of the vote in Miami-Dade - thank you […]

I voted.

Earlier today I told you how it was still a difficult decision. It was. I stared at that screen for five minutes. In the end, I voted for Rudy Giuliani. It’s not that I think Rudy is the best candidate. Clearly I don’t. I like them all equally, which […]

Still a hard decision

January 25, 2008 | 5 Comments

Last night I watch the whole Republican candidates debate on MSNBC. I had hoped the debate could help me decide for whom I will be voting. Nope.

The South Carolina “Tradition”

January 19, 2008 | 2 Comments

Just a quick post about some things the pundits were saying all night tonight:
In every election since 1980, the winner of the primary also won the Republican nomination.
So things look good for John McCain, right?
Well, let’s consider that the Republican primary in South Carolina started in 1980. Prior to that, South Carolina delegates were […]

Yesterday, former State Senator Skip Campbell (D-Ft. Lauderdale) announced he will challenge incumbent Senator Jeff Atwater (R- North Palm Beach) for the District 25 seat. There are a few things that really make this interesting.
First, Atwater has been selected by the Republicans in the Senate as their designee for Senate President for the next […]
