    The big day is here, we may just know who the nominee is going to be by tonight. Will we know? I can’t say for sure but I don’t believe it will be finished by tonight. Of course will know for sure, with the rest of you, who will be celebrating and who will be planning to head home. This isn’t to say that we will know for sure who ...
  • Fighting the Good Fight of Conservatism

    For those of us that call ourselves Conservatives, the good fight is something that we will never give up on. For us it is more than a political stance, it is something that reflects who we are as people. While there are many things in life we may attach ourselves to, conservatism goes farther than a label. We swear by it. It spells out who we are ...

    Things will only get worse, reports are saying that Rudy will drop out and endorse McCain. The nomination is the same effect as popular Democrats endorsing Obama over Hillary. He is not endorsing the person he feels is best for office. He is voting for the one man that can beat Romney. Romney is the only man in the race that resembles a conservati...
  • Florida Primary Will be the Deciding Factor.

    According to an L.A. Times article, Rudy believes that the winner of Florida will be the winner of the nomination. Of course he also predicted that he would win but with recent fallout it’s questionable if a third place showing is possible let alone a victory. In a meeting in the back of his chartered plane en route to St. Petersburg, Fla., ...

    Looking at the results the McCain-Huckabee showing is nothing surprising. What people should be talking about it Thompson’s very strong showing. While Fred’s campaign has been falling short if conservatives start to realize that he is the only good choice I know that things will change. McCain and Huckabee can woo the moderates but the...
  • Romney Wins Michigan

    The most important outcome of Michigan is that the McCain momentum may begin to cease. While a McCain win would have pushed his campaign into high gear, he is now left to pulling it off in South Carolina. While that is very possible it isn’t something that McCain can count on, the evangelical vote has been strongly Huckabee and South Carolin...

    Where does that leave the Reagan coalition? Is there absolutely any hope for a well rounded conservative in 2008? Will we be stuck with what Rush Limbaugh called the “new conservatism?” I don’t want someone that will effectively split social and fiscal conservatives. Giuliani is making social conservatives nauseous and Huckabee ...

    For McCain the independent vote was what enabled him to pull through with the victory. Exit polls showed that 37% of voters identified themselves as independent (source). Of the voters McCain was able to pull in 39%, Romney received a decent 27%. The independent vote is the much sought after prize for all candidates. You know that most Republicans...

    McCain has recently shocked the pundits by jumping up to a virtual tie with Huckabee in the national polls. This is very disheartening for those searching for a all around conservative candidate, Huckabee and McCain leave a lot to be desired. While Huckabee is pulling in those with his clever words it seems a lot are going to McCain out of frustra...
