I must say it, even though it might be unpopular..I felt sorry for Barack Obama last night.
What a shame that his words had to be lost once again in the rhetoric (and plea for money) from one (at least at this writing) candidate.
Having watched all three speeches, I can only summarize this way:
John [...]

You have to hand it to the Clinton’s.
When all the pollsters, pundits and many blogs had written the Senator off, they once again defy all.
While I am no fan of the former First Lady, I must give credit where credit is due. Obviously, they (or she) depending on how you view this [...]

How clever…and on the mark too!
GOP Debate Song

If this is not taken out of context I just erased him from my list of possible choices.

In our continuing effort to keep our readers informed on the candidates running for president we give you some sound bites from Congressman Tom Tancredo:

Update:Tancredo has told Fox News he does not intend to run for his House seat this year.

This report states Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas is expected to drop out of the presidential race on Friday.
If this is true the reason is simple. He hasn’t raised enough money to continue. It’s a shame people have put so much money into winning this office that an ordinary person is prohibited from [...]

In our continuing effort to inform our readers of the positions of the various GOP candidates we present this video with Mike Huckabee:

Some of the GOP presidential candidates visited with the Republican Jewish Coalition. The following are just a few of the quotes pulled from that forum:
First, former Mayor Giuliani:
“We would like to have peace,” Giuliani said. “We don’t want to have a peace in which Americans and Israelis are getting killed. And we certainly don’t [...]

So we can get to know the candidates and their positions we’ll be publishing something from each of them from time.
Today is a recent campaign video from Fred Thompson. No talking in it, but it states his positions.

Notice how at ease he is as he speaks to this audience.
Please watch both videos so you can hear the whole thing.

Video 2
Please watch when he reads what Hillary has said about her ideas.

I know for many people the social stands Rudy takes are unacceptable, but would they be better under a [...]

When I returned from my trip a couple of weeks ago, my husband told me late in the week we had received a card inviting us to have breakfast with John McCain and attend a rally.
I’m not a supporter of any candidate right now and 8 o’clock in the morning seemed early when we had [...]

Once upon a time this was the traditional time of year when candidates for the presidency announced. With all of the changes in the political landscape on all levels, it feels as though we have been subjected to campaign mode since 2004 on a continuous basis. Every politician has weighed their words, couched [...]

I guess if you live in Iowa or New Hampshire you think you have the right to ask a candidate any personal questions you care to ask.
Well, on Thursday Rudy Giuliani let it be known that some questions are off limits.
DERRY, N.H. (AP) - Republican Rudy Giuliani said Thursday that people should “leave my family [...]

Tommy Thompson has dropped out of the presidential race.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Saying he had no regrets, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson on Sunday dropped out of the crowded race for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination after a poor showing in a straw poll in Iowa.
Thompson, 65, finished sixth in Saturday’s nonbinding mock election. He had [...]

With or without Mitt Romney the CNN/YouTube debate with Republican presidential candidates is on again.
This just in: The Republican CNN/YouTube debate, in limbo for the past few weeks, is on again.
But Mitt Romney, who won Saturday’s Iowa straw poll and has criticized the debate format, has yet to commit to the Nov. 28 event.
Romney, [...]

No surprise here. Romney spent lots of money in Iowa and it paid off Saturday with his first-place showing.
The other top tier candidates, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani decided to forego the straw poll.
Mike Huckabee is pleased with his second-place showing and Sam Brownback came in third.

Tell the truth Rudy.
A new radio ad boasts that Rudy Giuliani “cut or eliminated 23 taxes” while mayor of New York City, a boast he and his supporters have repeated many times on the campaign trail. We find that to be an overstatement. Giuliani can properly claim credit for initiating only 15 of those cuts.
In [...]

Former Massachusetts governor and current presidential candidate Mitt Romney was in a diner in New Hampshire when the question of health care came up.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Michele Griffin didn’t want to hear Mitt Romney talk about how to fight the spread of AIDS around the world.
“What about our nation? How ’bout the USA? C’mon!” yelled [...]

With dwindling finances and many of his staff resigning I’m beginning to wonder how much longer John McCain will stay in the presidential race.
This Wall Street Journal report [Subscription may be required.] says McCain’s media team has quit.
Sen. John McCain’s well-known media team has resigned, an indication that his campaign shake-up is continuing to backfire [...]

I wish Newt Gingrich would tell us exactly how he feels.
In this article at Eaminer.com he gives us his perception of candidates for the Presidency on the Republican side.
Dismissing the GOP presidential field as a “pathetic” bunch of “pygmies,” Newt Gingrich hinted Monday he might step in to beat Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and [...]

Does this mean it’s not going to be an exciting election unless another Ronald Reagan appears?
The latest Associated Press-Ipsos poll found that nearly a quarter of Republicans are unwilling to back top-tier hopefuls Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, John McCain or Mitt Romney, and no one candidate has emerged as the clear front-runner among Christian evangelicals. [...]

I guess the Republicans are beginning to eat their own. I can’t believe this. For a Democrat this is a dream come true.
They’ve turned into the Democrats, two years ago.
I’m only joking.
Rep. Heather Wilson (R-N.M.) called for comity Wednesday during a meeting of the Republican Conference after House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) referred [...]

I guess the Republicans are in for long time out of power. What happened?
Campaign contributors to the 2008 presidential candidates heavily favored Democrats in the three-month period that ended Saturday, giving three dollars to the party’s leading contenders for every two dollars they gave to the top Republican candidates.
Democratic Sen. Barack Obama’s 258,000 contributors since [...]

In an earlier posting today I said that Romney’s Mormon faith was “causing little stir among most voters.” It’s a bit more complicated than that according to USA Today/Gallup polls. In short, Romney may not have a hard time pulling in money from wealthy households and the corporate sector, but voters in general [...]

As any Boy Scout will tell you, their motto is “Be prepared”, and like good Boy Scouts the announced Republicans are preparing for a Fred Thompson run by digging up anything they consider unsavory for a Republican presidential candidate in the primaries.
Here are the roles into which opponents will likely try to cast Thompson and [...]

Republican presidential wannabe John McCain is losing steam according to the latest polls.
Conservatives don’t consider him conservative and have been angry with him over McCain-Feingold, the Gang of 14 Senate filibuster deal, and now his support of the Immigration Reform bill.
From reports I’ve read his donations are drying up and he spent a lot of [...]

Why this is important to know from a presidential candidate is beyond me.

I missed the beginning of the Republican debate tonight, and started watching it at 7:45.
I can tell you the candidates I have definitely ruled out even if they were in the running.
Ron Paul is number one on my list of unacceptable candidates.
Tancredo comes in a very close second.
Duncan Hunter is iffy at best.
Mitt Romney strikes [...]

According to Politico, Fred Thompson intends to announce his candidacy for President of the United States during the July 4 holiday.
Fred Dalton Thompson is planning to enter the presidential race over the Fourth of July holiday, announcing that week that he has already raised several million dollars and is being backed by insiders from [...]
