Mike Huckabee
Romney Pegged As Early 2012 GOP Favorite
A Gallup poll released on Thursday indicates that Republicans are choosing former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney over the high-profile Sarah Palin as their preferred 2012 GOP presidential nominee, albeit by a slim margin. Mike Huckabee also remains a contender.
Romney is favored over soon-to-be former Gov. Palin by 5 points,, 26% to 21%. Huckabee stands at […]

All eyes will be on Rick Warren’s Saddleback mega-church in California tomorrow night as both McCain and Obama attend a live televised “conversation” with Warren on religion, values, and other topics pertinent to the ‘08 race. Warren is the superstar pastor of Saddleback and best-selling author of “The Purpose Driven Life” as well as other […]
Veep Watch: Fading Romney
Not a lot of buzz lately surrounding what had been the near certainty of Mitt Romney being McCain’s running mate. Mitt had been making a strong play for Veep ever since he dropped his own presidential bid and was seen as becoming more palatable to McCain and some of his advisers, mostly because of the […]

The Veepstakes for both candidates has officially hit its stride as this hyper-speed campaign rolls on. What was once penciled in automatically every year for convention week or thereabouts has shifted weeks earlier this year, with talk heating up about imminent picks on both sides. But, contrary to what we were told last week, it […]
McCain’s Veep search…
It’s the only buzz that’s been generated around the happily-in-the-shadows McCain campaign.
JMac and his handlers are quite happy to leave the ring to the marathon grudge match between Hillary and Obama; to a point.
Prolonged absence from the political headlines is never a good thing - especially when you’re the GOP nominee for president. Getting relegate […]

Back from a long weekend…
The rapidly disintegrating Hillary campaign (or so the big papers tell us) is in the midst of full-on damage control mode, rushing the candidate to several feisty trail events over the weekend (”Shame on you,” Obama…) and advisers telling reporters - including PB - in a Saturday conference call that the […]
WISCONSIN RESULTS: 8 PM - DEMS TOO CLOSE TO CALL
THE 8 PM EST DEADLINE FOR WISCONSIN COMES AND GOES WITHOUT A FORM DEMOCRATIC PROJECTION. THE VERDICT IS “TOO CLOSE TO CALL” FROM EARLY RETURNS IN THE VICIOUS SHOOTOUT BETWEEN HILLARY AND OBAMA. BUT THE TV SUITS CAN BARELY CONTAIN THEIR PROBABLE PREDICTION THAT OBAMA WILL WIN, DISGUISING THE EVENTUAL OUTCOME IN TERMS OF “OBAMA […]
The Buzz
Campaigning for the increasingly tight Wisconsin primary tomorrow has been delayed and even grounded in areas because of some serious winter weather crippling the Badger State. Obama had to cut back a few legs of his intensive statewide tour over the weekend, though he still has reached many more WI voters than Hillary. Which makes […]
The ultimate surrogate: Bush 41 to endorse McCain on Monday
Biggest news of the day again comes from on the McCain front (yesterday it was the surprise Romney endorsement). The news is that George H. W. Bush, Bush 41, is officially expected to endorse McCain in a major press conference even on Monday morning, giving his esteemed blessing to the presumptive GOP nominee. And according […]
Romney endorses McCain, heaps on fake enthusiasm…
Surprise of the day was Mitt Romney’s announcement that he was endorsing the presumptive GOP nominee McCain and then his very public, very exuberant press conference for the endorsement. There was no prior indication that this inevitable moment would come today or anytime soon. Reports were out that Romney and his close advisers were still […]
