The story of the 2012 election is that voters still blame Republicans for systemic problems caused by liberalism, and yet they credit Obama for victories brought about by applied conservatism. Now how does this happen?
A Fearless Prognosticator and His Track Record November 8, 2012Randall Hoven
I made 16 specific predictions for 2012 in early January, and I think we have enough information right now to see how well I've done. If you're wondering what I'm predicting right now, it's rather dark.

Questions Are Common; Answers Are Rare November 4, 2012Ronald Wieck

The Class of the Race November 3, 2012Frances Twitty
Do Americans believe that it has taken four years to lay the foundation for success? Isn't that kind of hard to swallow when we have spent four years witnessing all the partying, campaigning, spending, vacationing, and golfing?
Never Been So Happy to Be So Wrong November 3, 2012Aaron Reber
Obama's campaign is showing the signs of a presidency going down in flames: sputtering messaging, creepy ads comparing voting for Barack to losing your virginity, binders, Big Bird, polls collapsing, and a challenger who looks more like a president.

The emerging story of Benghazi will eventually highlight the very quality that inspires hope at the heart of every American patriot.
A Sickly Pale Blue October 31, 2012Rosslyn Smith

Mitt's Royal Slam October 30, 2012J.R. Dunn
Romney treated the campaign the same as he would have treated a new business back in the '80s or '90s. If he brings this off, if he is elected on November 6, Mitt Romney will stand as the most masterly political strategist of his epoch.
Obama and the Liberal Conceits October 30, 2012Christopher Chantrill
In four short years, President Obama has demolished his party's once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a durable liberal majority. The conceits he shares with the liberal ruling class are the reason why.
Soft Bigotry of Campaign Expectations October 29, 2012Cindy Simpson
We've become such good sports at accepting low expectations for Democrat campaigning, and unrealistically high ones for Republicans, that any Republican's misstep is immediately pounced upon as hypocrisy, ignorance, or hate.
Bidding Adieu to Affirmative-Action Voting October 26, 2012Simon de Hundehutte
Could it be that Mr. Romney wants the healing of the nation to begin even before he's sworn into office? Is he trying to pour water onto this raging fire of divisiveness that has claimed America's soul these past four years?
Why Romney is Winning the Women's Vote October 25, 2012Mike Stopa
If women were convinced in large numbers, after the first debate, to switch their fragile allegiance from Obama to Romney, then probably those women suspected already that there might be a special man hiding in there. Here's why.

'Get the transcript'? Okay -- let's get it October 22, 2012Daren Jonescu
So why was your administration blaming a video that few had seen, citing a protest that never happened, and exposing to public identification and danger the man who made this unrelated video?
'Women in Binders' and the Fantasies of the Left October 22, 2012Oleg Atbashian
The phrase "binders full of women" speaks to the progressive psyche in ways that the non-initiated can't possibly understand. Once again, the progressives are letting their primal fantasies choose their battles for them.
Last Debate Proves Mitt Way Ahead October 23, 2012C. Edmund Wright

Obama failed to break Romney's momentum in third debate October 23, 2012Thomas Lifson
Each side will claim a win by its champion, but the important result of the third presidential debate is that Mitt Romney looked presidential, and Barack Obama failed to paint him as a dangerous warmonger.
Why I'll be voting for 'great salesman' Mitt October 22, 2012Harold Witkov
Remember what David Axelrod said about Romney after he skunked Obama in the first debate? I do. He referred to him derogatorily as a "salesman" -- worse yet a "great salesman."

The most single telling moment of Tuesday's debate - and possibly of any of the debates - came early, when Obama attempted to interrupt Romney one time too many.
Candy Crowley Plays Biggest Loser with Obama October 17, 2012Selwyn Duke

October Political Reality Check October 9, 2012Christopher Chantrill
Baby-boomer angst is understandable. Our cunning plan to coast through our retirement and then hand the mess to our children has gone the way of all cunning plans. Baby boomers realize it's time for a reality check.

It's predictable that policies, issues, and points were not emphasized as the reason for Romney's excellent debate performance.
Mitt Romney: The Whitest Man in the Room? October 8, 2012Gary Jason

Obama's Mask Slips October 5, 2012Pamela Geller
Obama is merely the pretty face for the über-left monster. Let's face it: Obama is merely a figurehead. A happy face for the anti-American, anti-individual, anti-capitalist revolution.
A Wise and Frugal King October 5, 2012Todd Keister
The stark reality is that on November 6, Americans are electing a king to reign over a bankrupt country.
The Obama Myth Will Not Survive the Debates October 4, 2012Anthony G. Dispenza

How Obama Won the Upcoming Debate October 2, 2012Timothy C. Daughtry

Romney Gets It Right: It Was 'Disgraceful' September 15, 2012Daren Jonescu

The GOP's Independent Voter Fixation September 10, 2012J. Robert Smith
The "Gee, bless his heart, the president just hasn't gotten it right, gosh darn it!" theme is thin porridge for voters. Independents need to see that the president's policies -- and their ensuing failures -- were predetermined by his deep-rooted beliefs.
'Mittens' or Monster? September 4, 2012Christopher Chantrill

If Mitt Romney wants to fight back against the onslaught of Obama's vicious and deceptive negative advertising, then Dontae and Angela Adams need to become household names in America.
Paul Ryan, the Perfect Anti-Gore August 20, 2012S. Fred Singer

Paul Ryan Naysayers: Whom Were They Hoping For? August 13, 2012Daren Jonescu
Liberals dislike him for the best reason -- namely, because they fear him. But the very fact that the GOP establishment approves of someone is now regarded by some conservatives as prima facie grounds for suspicion.
Into the Storm August 13, 2012Robert Morrison
Romney might have tried to find a safe harbor. But he didn't. He brought the fighting Wisconsin congressman onto the platform with him. And let Paul Ryan come out swinging. The only safe course is to head straight into the storm.

When Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton Insulted Palestinian Culture August 6, 2012Edward Olshaker
While that one line in Romney's speech was labeled a diplomatic blunder, a disastrous gaffe, and even "deeply offensive" by the mainstream media, Hillary Clinton's far more blistering rhetoric was a non-story that barely turns up at all in an internet search.
Mitt Meets Mainstream Media Mindset August 3, 2012Steve McCann

A Sociology of the Jet Ski July 13, 2012Peter Wilson
The photograph of Mitt and Ann Romney on a jet ski in Lake Winnipesaukee is being touted as making him look like an out of touch rich guy, akin to John Kerry windsurfing in lycra off Nantucket. Only by people who don't know jet skis.

Romney and the '60s May 2, 2012J.R. Dunn

The Campaign Ads That Will Defeat Obama May 2, 2012Edward Olshaker
An Obama campaign based heavily on gaffes and primary attacks on Romney will backfire, because the president's own gaffes are far more damaging. Scandals and blunders suppressed by the media are ripe.

Mitt Gets Iran March 6, 2012James Lewis

Get off Romney's Back November 2, 2011Mercer Tyson

He appears to be an office-seeker whose policy positions come from polls rather than from the head, heart, and gut.
