The Competent Conservative

This is a great reference for all your delegate allocation questions. After some brief consultation, I noticed that CA, NY, MD, DE, CT, MT, UT, PR, NJ,  and VA are all either strictly winner-take-all or winner-take-all if the winner gets a majority. That’s 500 delegates in the bag for Mitt, right there. He has about 100 [...]

Mitt Romney pulled out a big win in Nevada. Right now with 43% reporting, these are the results: Mitt Romney 42.4% Newt Gingrich 26.1% Ron Paul 18.3% Rick Santorum 13.0% The only county left is Clark County, where Mitt currently has 59.8% of the vote reported, so I expect his lead to grow throughout the [...]

Gotta wonder what this is all about.  Does he want to distract people from his second electoral drubbing in one week or is he taking his ball and going home?  We shall see. Instead of the traditional election night party, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich will hold a press conference after the Nevada Caucus on [...]

Many people have got to be getting tired of the Sour Puss Gingrich!  I remember how contentious the McCain vs. Romney match was in 2008, yet they still called to congratulate each other when each of them would win a state.  Gingrich claims that Romney ran a very dishonest campaign and “outspent him 5-1 on [...]

There was and is only one true Reagan and that was Ronald Reagan himself. Truly much has been said throughout this campaign about how much Newt Gringrich loves to compare himself to Reagan and how he would use Reagans Principles when he becomes President (If he ever does!). While they did serve at the same [...]

    I couldn’t agree more with this analysis from Dick Morris: For students of American politics, following the way the Romney campaign played Newt Gingrich in Florida is a lesson to learn and to keep. Romney’s people must have realized that Newt does best when he is positive. His bold ideas, clear vision, revolutionary [...]

This is another factor that plays into the “momentum” of Mitt Romney winning Florida.  Romney came in a very, very close race in Iowa, won New Hampshire by a significant margin, came in 2nd in South Carolina and tonight had a blowout win in Florida.  As such, the media will be focusing much more attention [...]

It wasn’t hard for me to predict, nor anyone else that has seen Newt’s vitriol on the campaign trail, that Newt Gingrich would officially enter the sorest losership competition by using his Florida speech to attack Mitt Romney.  When Newt won South Carolina, Mitt Romney congratulated him on his win.  When Newt loses, he blames [...]

Distasteful as it is when Palin abuses the trust of her fans, there is a silver lining: the debate raging in the comments on her Facebook post is a small window into the arguments with which Tea Partiers are wrestling. What follows isn’t a random sampling of movement opinion. But it is a single data [...]

Republican hopeful Mitt Romney has opened up a 20-point lead in the final days leading up to the Republican primary in Florida, according to a Suffolk University/7NEWS (WSVN-Miami) poll of likely Republican primary voters in Florida. Romney led Newt Gingrich 47 percent to 27 percent, while Rick Santorum got 12 percent and Ron Paul finished fourth [...]
