Newt Gingrich Poised to Run: Why the 1990s GOP Icon Struggles for Respect
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyNewt Gingrich moved toward launching his first presidential campaign with all the grace of a suitcase falling down a flight of stairs. It all began with conflicting signals from aides about what Gingrich actually would be announcing Thursday in Atlanta (correct answer: A website called "NewtExplore2012"). Then, in an odd one-question press conference, Gingrich proposed a Tenth Amendment Implementation Act (a vague project to return federal responsibilities to the states) while he simultaneously unveiled the exploratory White House candidacy. Finally, there was the embarrassing glitch when a ...
AOL Poll: Half Would Consider GOP Prez in 2012
By Lauren Frayer - AOL News
(Nov. 3) -- Half of the American electorate would at least consider voting a Republican into the White House in 2012, while four in 10 say they won't and the rest are undecided, according to an AOL poll conducted as Republicans seized control of the House of Representatives. The poll also found that 50 percent of independent voters would consider voting for a Republican presidential candidate in the next U.S. election. So would nearly two in 10 -- 18.5 percent -- of registered Democrats. AOL surveyed 1,065 registered voters on Nov. 1, the day before Americans went to the polls and voted a ...
Obama's Nuclear Summit: Invisible for Conservatives?
By David Corn - Politics DailyOn Monday and Tuesday, President Obama convened a historic gathering in Washington to deal with the most urgent threat facing the globe: nuclear terrorism. Never before have so many world leaders gathered to discuss together how to thwart one of the greatest nightmares imaginable; 47 nations were represented. Though no sweeping treaties or agreements were reached, Obama did succeed on two important fronts. He placed the issue of controlling and securing nuclear material that could be used by terrorists (including al-Qaeda and its allies) at the top of the global to-do list. And he encouraged ...
Did Sarah Palin Flip-Flop on 'Death Panels'?
By Bob Franken - Politics DailyWho knew that Sarah Palin was such a uniter? How else can you explain how the right and left want to wrap their wings around her. Conservatives embrace her as a voice of the future, liberals hail her as a present-day object of ridicule. Enter the Center for American Progress, definitely in the latter group. In a piece on its "Think Progress" Web site, the group takes delight in pointing out that the very same Sarah Palin who has inspired so much hell-raising with her little Facebook "death panels" description, not too long ago proclaimed her belief in the kind of living will planning she now ...
Who's Afraid of Sarah Palin? The GOP
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyWhen I saw this report at HuffPo yesterday, entitlled "Republicans Disinvite Palin From Major Fundraiser, Trash Her In Private," I thought, "Really? Again?"Well, no, not really. This is the same story Matt Lewis wrote about a few weeks ago. They threw some Mrs. Dash on it and banged it in the microwave for a few minutes, but it's basically the same story. The RNCC announced that Palin would be headlining their annual fundraiser, but then Palin's office said, "Not so fast..."So, now, they've "Disinvited" Palin in much the same way that I might "disinvite" Jessica Alba from my birthday party. ...
Gringrich is Delusional
By Eric Schulzke - Politics DailyShow of hands: how many survivors of the 1995-1996 budget and regulatory battles are savoring a Gingrich v. Clinton cage fight in '08? I'm guessing not many of you are Republicans. That was not a pretty moment. ...
