Google and the Candidates: How Super Tuesday Looked through the Search Giant’s Eyes
It’s been well known that search engines and social media sites have the ability to help predict the outcome of national and world events. A deep look into the trends can help to shed light on what will soon come to pass. It’s far from exact but has been shown to be fairly accurate. The [...]
I am the Problem with the Republican Party
Ever since the GOP primary season started, I’ve been very displeased with Mitt Romney as the Republican Establishment’s anointed choice. He is not a conservative, but perhaps more importantly his health care record with Romneycare will absolutely prohibit him from being able to defeat Barack Obama in November. Conservatives don’t like him. Moderates don’t trust [...]
Cartoon: Cheaper Gas Choices
This cartoon by the Washington Examiner really brings to light the attitude circulating through Washington DC right now as we seem to have our priorities a little misplaced.
Secularism is Taking Over Britain. America is Next.
The shift is already apparent around the world, but in Britain, it’s more pronounced and scientifically proven. A recent report published in the DailyMail (not the best place for “news” but this one sticks to the facts) shows that the Christian and Jewish population are declining while atheists, agnostics, Muslims, and other religious perspectives are [...]
General Election Scenarios Favor @RickSantorum
With 22 states very likely to vote for the Republican candidate and 19 states plus Washington DC very likely to vote for President Obama, there are 9 states that will be at the center of each campaign once the Republican nominee is selected. For a Republican victory, it’s easy to see that Santorum would have [...]
Mathematically, Santorum Has Easier Road to Beat Obama than Romney
Something has been really weird about this GOP primary season. It’s easy to understand why the Republican Establishment has supported Mitt Romney from the start based upon their support of previous moderates like John McCain and Bob Dole. What hasn’t been as clear is why the Obama campaign team has been working on helping Romney [...]
The Broken System: Santorum Leads Nationally But Everything Hinges On Michigan
It’s an antiquated system designed before the internet and with the intention of allowing voters and delegates to see their nominees in person. It harkens to a day when trains crossed from sea to sea with candidates waving at people who were lining up just for a glimpse. Those days are behind us. The system [...]
“A Tale of Two Mitts” Worked for McCain in 2008. Why aren’t 2012 Candidates Doing the Same?
In 2008, John McCain was on the outside looking in during the early months of the GOP nomination process. Rudy Giuliani was a favorite but didn’t show up until Florida. Fred Thompson was a lump on a log during debates. Mike Huckabee faded early as well. By this time 4 years ago, it was really [...]
ABORT! Romney’s Inability To Galvanize His Own Party Is Why It’s Time to Write Him Off
I was one of those people. The person in the large group at the restaurant who was last to order, mulling over the menu because nothing popped out at me and I didn’t want to make the wrong selection – that was me. With a heavy heart, I started supporting Mitt Romney when my last [...]
Obama Wanted to Reduce Interest Paid on Federal Debt
The challenges facing Barack Obama were apparent before he took office. A month into his term, he acknowledged that the problems needed to be addressed immediately and stated that he wanted to halt the growth of the national debt, including reductions of the $250 billion in interest that were paid towards it the year before.
