Like any sane Republican (James Dobson, who backed Huckabee today, is neither fully sane or a true Republican…) would go against the maverick juggernaut that is The Mac.
Thompson never went as hard against McCain as Romney, so he always had a nice window open to jump on board whoever got to be the frontrunner once […]

The not-that-all-surprising news that Fred Thompson was dropping out of the GOP race broke this afternoon. The move comes after a string of low single-digit finishes in early states capped off by a disappointing third-place in the pivotal South Carolina primary on Saturday. He posted a very simple statement on the campaign website.
Today I have […]

With South Carolina and its bevy of Afrocan American voters in play, today’s festivities for the official MLK Jr. holiday took on a decidedly political sheen in the Palmetto State. Despite a delayed flight for Hillary, all three maor Democratic candidates attended the big rally and parade in Columbia and offered a few words for […]

…But a win is a win - and wins are rare these days in the Republican primary race. The hotly contested SC GOP primary provided another non-consecutive winner as McCain proved able to bounce back from a stinging defeat in Michigan to take home the top prize in his final firewall state.

Down to the final night before the crucial and potentially race-changing primary in South Carolina and the important - not as big as SC for the Republicans - caucus in Nevada for the Dems. Each state appears to have narrowed the list of possible winners to two: McCain and Huckabee in SC, Hillary and Obama […]

No liveblog - just a preview…
It’s more than obvious that the Republican race has changed significantly since the New Hampshire, and even more so from the last debate on Sunday. Romney has become almost an afterthought, McCain has taken charge of the race, and Rudy Giuliani still has yet to try to win a primary/caucus. […]

Some quick thoughts on tonight’s fairly civil - compared to last night- FNC Republican debate from New Hampshire…
No question that Romney handled himself very well tonight. He didn’t stumble nearly as much as he did on ABC yesterday and managed to get some very good non-negative arguments in. Also helped that his rivals basically stayed […]

The mega-debate event last night in New Hampshire provided some entertaining TV, a true maturation of the frontrunnning candidates messages and arguments, and several bursts of fierce pile-on’s of from the candidates that need a strong showing in New Hampshire to continue the race.

The title is actually a bit of sarcasm. No one will find these quotes from “lazy” Fred all that shocking.
“I’m not particularly interested in running for president,” the former senator said at a campaign event in Burlington when challenged by a voter over his desire to be commander-in-chief.
“But I think I’d make a good president,” […]

As promised, here are the latest candidate rankings from the staff of PB. We aren’t ranking every candidate (sorry Chris Dodd and Duncan Hunter fans…) and we will try to focus mostly on the caucus or primary that is nearest to the pub date. In this case, it’s Iowa (but we’ll look ahead, too).
Everyone is […]
