Mitt Romney's Enemies, Gearing Up for 2012 Fight
By Matt Lewis
When former Governor Mitt Romney spoke at the Family Research Council's "Values Voters Summit" in Washington about 10 days ago, he came in a distant second place in a straw poll behind his archenemy, Mike Huckabee. And he only narrowly beat out former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty in an event that signaled the unofficial start of Romney's 2012 GOP primary campaign. In fact, he never seemed to stop running. The night before speaking, he hosted an event called Sundaes with Mitt. But the summit poll showed the steep hill Romney has to climb over the next three years and was, no doubt, a coup for ...
In Obama-GOP Match-Ups for 2012, Huckabee Is Top Contender
By Bruce DrakeSo which Republican would do the best against President Obama if the 2012 election were held today? The answer, according to a Public Policy Polling survey conducted Sept. 18-21, is former Arkansas governor and 2008 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who would get 41 percent to Obama's 48 percent with 11 percent undecided. Huckabee has been the strongest candidate against Obama all six times PPP has posed the question. ...
Ted Kennedy Seeks Law to Speed Up Seating His Replacement
By David Knowles
Sen. Ted Kennedy has sent a letter to Massachusetts Gov. Duval Patrick as well as the leaders of the state's House and Senate requesting that it amend the law on filling vacancies in the U.S. Congress. Ailing from cancer, Kennedy knows that President Obama's health care reform could hinge on as little as a single vote in the Senate, and if his own health were to prevent him from participating in the final legislative roll call, he wants a reform advocate already in place. ...
Mitt Romney's Voodoo Dolls
By Carl M. Cannon
Defeated at nearly every level in the 2008 elections, Republicans were supposed to be using the current four-year stretch in purgatory to rethink the issues, redefine themselves as a party, and (most of all) select a charismatic leader to get them back in the game. Turns out, it's not taking too long to winnow the field. As the dust cleared in 2009, there was no shortage of prospective saviors. Would it be Sarah Palin, the gorgeous and polarizing lightning rod from Alaska, who overshadowed running mate John McCain in the general election? What about Mike Huckabee, the glib, guitar-playing ...
Mitt Romney Writing Political Book: Launch of Presidential Bid?
By Emily MillerRepublican Mitt Romney signed a deal to write a book entitled "No Apology: The Case for American Greatness." The book is scheduled to be published by St. Martin's Press in March 2010, which is primary season for the midterm elections. ...
Republicans, Fiscal Responsibility, and $23.7 Trillion
By Michael Roberts
Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), made headlines when he estimated that the Obama administration may have committed as much as $23.7 trillion to patch up the U.S. economy. This figure, and fiscal responsibility in general, should be a galvanizing force for the Republican Party in upcoming political battles.Twenty-three-point-seven-trillion-dollars is a hard number to get your head around. For the sake of simplicity, we'll round up to $24 trillion from here on. After all, if we learned anything from the Obama administration these past six ...
Mitt Romney vs. Tim Pawlenty on Healthcare: 2012 Campaign Begins?
By Emily MillerMitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty are both publicly criticizing the healthcare reforms from President Obama and the Democrats currently being debated in Congress. At the same time, the two Republicans are jabbing at each other on an alternate approach to healthcare issues, seemingly establishing their differences in advance of 2012 campaigns for the White House. ...
Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney Fundraising for 2012 White House
By Emily MillerSurprising the inside-the-Beltway crowd, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin raised $732,867 in the first half of 2009. SarahPAC, her Washington, D.C.-area fundraising organization, has proven to be organized and effective, despite reports to the contrary. ...
Why Mitt Romney's Star is Rising
By Matt Lewis
If Mitt Romney had convened a conclave to set about systematically destroying his potential presidential opponents, he could have done no better than this.Moderate Utah governor Jon Huntsman was dispatched abroad by President Obama, Nevada Sen. John Ensign and South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford's affairs ended any ambitions they may have had. And now, Sarah Palin's bizarre announcement that she is stepping down as governor of Alaska has -- in my mind, at least -- guaranteed that she cannot realistically win the GOP nomination in 2012 (though she may try).Had anyone at such a meeting invented ...
Is Sanford's Loss Women's Gain?
By Matt LewisImmediately following a personal tragedy, it appears unseemly to discuss political strategy regarding who "wins" or "loses" as a result of someone's fall from grace. A week later, however, and it's time to cast aside those niceties, and discuss the impact the Sanford affair may have on politics. ...
