© Jack Ohman The Iowa caucuses happen Tuesday (yes, tomorrow), and it seems like nobody knows who the winner will be. Some polls show Ron Paul in front. Some show Mitt Romney winning. Some show Rick Santorum surging from behind (sorry). The bottom line (sorry again) is … who cares? If you look at the […]
Glenn Greenwald has a fantastic rant in Salon. Go read it now. It doesn’t matter if you want Ron Paul to be president or not. You should definitely support him as It would be great for him to be the Republican candidate for president. Why? Because he is the only even remotely viable candidate for […]
© Matt Wuerker Why is it that political setbacks get the Republican base even more fired up, while similar setbacks make Democrats get disillusioned and lose interest?
A reader has asked an interesting question — what would be the result if libertarian Ron Paul were elected President. This is not a hypothetical question — some poll show him leading in Iowa. Whether you’re a fan of Paul or not, if you can imagine a scenario that is likely to happen if we […]
© Jim Morin I’ve long suspected that Jon Huntsman knows both that he cannot win the nomination in the current Republican party, or even if he did, that he probably could not win against Obama.

It always seems like the people who complain the most about other people sucking money from taxpayers are the people who actually do it the most (this may be a corollary to the premise that those people who bash gays the most are themselves afraid to come out of the closet). The latest example is […]
© Eric Perlin I expect that at some point the Republicans will launch a disinformation campaign to convince everyone that Obama is going to easily win reelection. That will both keep potential Obama voters away from the polls, and will energize their base. Count on it. By the way, the above comic was created using […]
Talk about Christmas presents from the Republican Party! And it just keeps getting better and better. Early this morning, the Virginia Republican Party announced that only two candidates had fulfilled the requirements to be on the primary ballot in Virginia. Those two candidates are Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. That’s right, Newt Gingrich didn’t make […]
© Lee Judge It is the gift that keeps on giving. Even after the primary is over, when the presidential election rolls around it will be fun watching the anointed GOP candidate walk back every crazy thing he or she said in order to secure the nomination from the party base.
© Kevin Siers Yes, Sarah Palin really did say that, when asked if there was any chance that she was reconsidering reentering the presidential race.
© derf Please Santa, make it so! UPDATE: Matt Damon slams Obama, says “One Term President With Some Balls Would Have Been Better”.
