Huckabee’s Hope for Future
Son, Mitt Romney has ‘suspended’ his quest for the Presidency. He is showing his business acumen. Large amounts of money have been invested in a marketing campaign that failed to sell the Bosco. Romney knows that he would be throwing good money after bad. So what does this do to the Republican nomination process? These […]

Saturday Night Live parodies Mitt Romney
Son, Those folks at Saturday Night Live are just hilarious. They took a real Mitt Romney video advertisement and added laugh tracks. The infusion of simple laughing changes the entire message. The humor points out the value of audio. Listening to this makes me wonder about the background music used in political commercials. One might […]

Republican Debate, 1-29-08
Son, The Republican debate is on CNN tonight. It is being hosted by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. John McCain, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and Mike Huckabee are participating.

McCain Wins SC, Huckleberry is second
Son, This is an exciting day in Republican politics. John McCain, my choice among Republicans, has won South Carolina. South Carolina consistently picks the Republican nominee. So today is a good day for America. Huckleberry Huckabee continues to show strength – and that represents an awful trend in America. Huckleberry is a religious fanatic who […]

Romney first, Paul Third – a message is sent
Son, Mitt Romney has won in Nevaadaa. But Ron Paul was Third. What does this say? Does this mean anything going into the future? Romney will toot his horn as winning another Gold Medal – a boring an overused metaphor. This win does tell us that the Mormons will support this man – even though […]

Morning Joe degrades bloggers
Son, Joe Scarborough speaks without thinking. He operates out of biased paradigms that are fostered by the good old boys club at MSNBC. Those folks, Scarborough, Russert, Matthews, and Olberman are the bloggers of Television. Scarborough made some innocent but disparaging off hand comments about bloggers. First of all – what is a blogger. Well, […]

Rudy Giuliani hopes to be Chief Bomb Sniffer. […]

John McCain wins New Hampshire
Son, I am relieved. John McCain is the best chance the GOP has of getting my vote. No – I don’t support the war in Iraq – but I like to think of myself as a multi issue voter. He has won New Hampshire in spite of Mitt Romney spending a small fortune. Ronmey’s loss […]

NH Political Predictions of Ohg Rea Tone
Son, Some processes are all about momentum. Momentum is not arbitrary – there are roots of rationale. There is cause and purpose. The forces at play in breaking the sled loose continue to propel – mass in motion is difficult to stop. The block of votes gained in Iowa have gravitational pull that directly correlates […]

Huckabee is a win for John McCain
Son, John McCain is the real winner tonight, this caucus night in Iowa. Mike Huckabee polled the largest numbers of support- soundly putting Mitt Romney in his appropriate place – way don there somewhere. But McCain is the real winner because the Republican Party does not want Huckabee. The importance of the Iowa Caucus was […]

Anybody but Huckabee
Son. It looks like Mike Huckabee is taking the first turn with a lead in the race. But my thought is that Huckabee appeals to a small but enthusiastic audience. As the race progresses the Republican leadership will take an Anybody but Huckabee stance. Huckabee has had several gaffs on foreign policy. He has directly […]

The Mormon Bible – and Mitt Romney
Son, Mitt Romney has said that he will ‘put his hand on the Bible” and take the oath of office. My question is simple, which Bible is he going to put his hand on? I think it is a fair question – he is taking an oath to defend you and me, your children and […]

The politics of admitting mistakes
Son, Several candidates for President have long histories. Many of them have run for other offices like Senator, or Governor, or Mayor. In the process of seeking those offices they necessarily catered to the limited population of their respective ambitions. Romney and Giuliani were pro-choice. Giuliani has been married three times. Huckabee raised taxes. Clinton […]

Republican CNN YouTube Debate – November 28
Son, A new event is happening in America. The CNN YouTube Presidential Debate. I am skeptical but hopeful. I remember the first televised debate between Kennedy and Nixon in 1960. That event ushered in a new technology – we are seeing another. I’ll try to keep up. A question to Giuliani on Immigration – the […]
