The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

WOW! Latest Rasmussen Poll: Cain 26%, Romney 23%, Gingrich 14%
UPDATE: Wrong: Data From Nov. 3

This is shocking: The national survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on November 21-22, 2011 by Rasmussen Reports. . . . Among likely GOP primary voters nationwide, Romney is just behind businessman Herman Cain with 23 percent support; Cain earns 26 percent of the vote and Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is in third […]

‘Mitt Romney’ On SNL: Among The Stranger Campaign Ads Of All Time

by Smitty Last night’s SNL campaign ad is pure Mitt. Superficially, the ad is about how stiff and un-funny Mitt is. Jason Sudeikis doesn’t go far enough in capturing the slightly congested, Brokaw-esque diction that helps me understand why some people really don’t care for Sarah Palin’s accent, either (she bothers me not). So, I […]

If Kathleen Parker Was Just A Bit Less Masculine, She Might Be David Brooks

by Smitty Via Hot Air, we have Kathleen Parker going down a list of Paul Begala arguments regurgitated from Newsweek.

Don’t stop.” Yet another faux-conservative writer whose desire […]

Is This It? Newt Says GOP Choice Will ‘Come Down to Mitt and Me’

Thirty-three months after the first Tea Party rallies, we are presented with a choice between Mr. “It’s His Turn” and Mr. Speaker: A surging Newt Gingrich said he’s bracing for searing political attacks from all sides now that he’s the latest front-runner in the cutthroat Republican bid for president — and he predicted the GOP […]

Doug Hoffman Forgives Newt Gingrich?

When Professor William Jacobson called this to my attention, I could scarcely believe it, yet Dave Weigel has the story: So what does Hoffman think? Is Newt to be trusted? “I support all the candidates running right at the moment,” said Hoffman. “Any one of them would be better than the current president, and that […]

How Bad Is Newt Gingrich?

Bad enough that Ann Coulter would rather have Mitt Romney win: So now, apparently, we have to go through the cycle of the media pushing Newt Gingrich. This is going to be fantastic. In addition to having an affair in the middle of Clinton’s impeachment; apologizing to Jesse Jackson on behalf of J.C. Watts — […]

Remembering Newt’s Awfulness

Just now, I called Dan Collins to talk about the grim prospect that threatens to destroy all hope of carrying forward the Tea Party momentum of the 2010 midterms: Mitt vs. Newt as the final showdown for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination. Dan was saying that this has provided him an occasion to remember all […]

‘You Have to Answer for Santino, Carlo’

“Our best chance to put responsible and principled leaders in Washington starts here, with Dede Scozzafava.” — Newt Gingrich, Oct. 16, 2009 “Former House speaker Newt Gingrich tells NRO that he is sure that endorsing Republican Dede Scozzafava in the upcoming special election in New York’s 23rd congressional district was the right thing to do.” […]
