How many Missouri Republican voters know the votes they’ll cast for a presidential nominee Feb. 7, won’t count? I suspect the number is extremely small, but before I explain my suspicions, let me offer some background. If you go to the Missouri GOP website and start looking for any news about major changes to the [...]

History of ‘Iowa Curse’ Prompts Range of Emotions
January 7th, 2008 · 1 Comment
I read Susan Estrich’s column, The Iowa Curse, published on the Fox News Channel website yesterday and breathed a sigh of relief. It was followed soon after by one of disappointment and, finally, by a feeling of optimism. My sigh of relief came in response to the Democrat strategist’s report that the odds are against [...]

Search for ‘Change’ Produces Strange Results
January 5th, 2008 · No Comments
Democrat presidential candidates have used the word “change” a lot during the past week. In fact, Barack Obama used the word to win the Iowa Democrats Caucus and John Edwards appeared to embrace it during the ABC News New Hampshire Debates tonight — but they did so without offering many specifics. Curious to understand exactly [...]

McCain’s Days as Viable Candidate Numbered
January 4th, 2008 · 16 Comments
En route to New Hampshire, Republican John McCain is getting a lot of mileage out of his third-place finish in the Iowa Caucus. At the same time, he must realize his days as a presidential contender are numbered, in part, due to a skeleton in his campaign closet: McCain is on record as saying he [...]

Losers in Iowa Need to Visit Ned, the Pie Maker
January 3rd, 2008 · 1 Comment
After reviewing tonight’s caucus results from Iowa, I’m tempted to suggest that presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney visit a pie maker named Ned if they want to resurrect their now-dead presidential hopes. Thanks to a magical gift he’s had since childhood, Ned’s able to touch dead things and bring them back to life. [...]

Has Thompson Failed at Ballot Box Office?
January 3rd, 2008 · No Comments
In a post Nov. 26, I compared the presidential campaign of Republican Fred Thompson to Brian De Palma’s box office-flopping anti-war film, Redacted. Following a report at The Politico late last night, I decided to revisit that comparison and ask the question, “Has Fred Thompson failed at the ‘ballot’ box office?” In case you missed [...]

In my post, Talk Show Appearances Could Hurt Huck and Hill, earlier today, I reported that two presidential candidates — Republican Mike Huckabee and Democrat Hillary Clinton — would make appearances on the late night talk shows, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman, respectively. Not unexpectedly, anti-Republican union [...]
