Cross-Posted FROM Gribbit’s Word
Syndicated columnist and former CNN political commentator Robert Novak says that Fred Thompson is the “X Factor” in Iowa. And I agree. So much so that I think that a good showing in Iowa could carry over to a victory in South Carolina and in the majority of Super Tuesday Primary States. [...]

What I’m afraid of is that this analysis could be right. Regardless, I’m with Rick Moran.
Fred is real – what you see is what you get. In a way, he reminds me more of Eisenhower than Reagan. Not a simple man but a transparent one. There is little subterfuge or guile and [...]

Jim Geraghty wonders:
One of my readers suggested that, no matter who the Republican nominee is, the 2008 GOP primary will be marked by a tear between social conservatives and fiscal conservatives. Social conservatives have looked at Rudy Giuliani leading the national polls for much of the year, and asked in disbelief to their coalition partners, [...]
Not so fast WTH: Response to the “Romney Lied” charge
Posted on December 20, 2007 - Filed Under History, News, Politics As Usual | 10 Comments
Warner Todd Huston’s earlier post relies on a single article in a “independent weekly” (you know the kind of paper…more phone porn ads and clubbin’ news than serious content). Said article relies primarily on the recollections of the “curator of the Grosse Pointe Historical Society,” who is probably an unpaid volunteer (the town busybody [...]

Via ACLU:
“Today’s decision is both legally wrong and deeply unjust. Professor Ramadan – like many other critics of U.S. foreign policy – is being excluded not because of his actions, but because of his ideas. In our view, the government’s stated reason for excluding him is just a pretext,†said Jameel Jaffer, Director of the [...]

One has to wonder if this new strategy, these attack sites against Obama, is in response to her dwindling lead in the latest polls.
ABC is reporting in an exclusive that the Hillary Clinton campaign has registered the names of two websites created to attack Barack Obama.

In an article that is ostensibly supposed to be about the many Iowa homeschoolers that are supporting Mike Huckabee, the Washington Post pins the reason to the fact that homeschooling parents must hate Mormons! This has easily become the MSM’s favorite theme as they try to divide and anger portions of the GOP primary voting [...]

Mitt Romney has been caught in yet another lie. Only yesterday Romney’s claim of not supporting Planned Parenthood abortion mills was abruptly smashed by a photograph surfacing of him at one of their fundraisers in 1994. Today, it’s Romney’s claim that his father “marched with” famed civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.

I know that American Jews tend heavily Left these days but this attempt to “get” a conservative is quite amazingly ridiculous:
“Rick Santorum recorded these words in his third outing as The Philadelphia Inquirer’s highly touted new columnist in a piece headlined “Put aside politics to confront Iran.” It was word play on the very [...]
