The two term governor of New Mexico (1995-2002) appears to be taking the early steps in a long-shot presidential bid. As governor, Johnson set a record for most bills vetoed, and earned a reputation as the most libertarian governor in the country. A Johnson campaign would focus on runaway government spending and taxes. Could Johnson win the GOP nomination, or even become a player in the primaries?...

I am posting this bit by Rex Murphy mostly because it is not likely to be seen outside of Canada and I suspect my American audience might appreciate it. He is right inasmuch as Sarah Palin is an accomplished speaker that gets folks inspired, whatever you may think of her policies. In fact, that is the reason she matters at all. Her policy platform is ill formed at best for the moment, but then Obama’s...

The GOP's New Hope? - Page 2 - The Daily Beast: ...Pawlenty's greatest advantage is that the Republican field in 2012 looks fairly thin. Mitch Daniels has the strongest credentials, but he doesn't have an obvious base. Mitt Romney has formidable financial resources and he gained crucial experience during his...

The conventional wisdom on Sarah Palin is that she's a divisive figure, and, from what polls tell us, that's true: according to Pollster.com's average , 38 percent of Americans hold a favorable view of her, while 49.2 percent view her unfavorably. So she's in minus territory--11.2 percent more Americans view her negatively than positively--which is bad for any politician running for office (if indeed...

The New York Daily News suggested Thursday that, according to one source, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani might use a run for Senate--if he wins--as a launching pad for taking another stab at the White House in 2012. Giuliani's 2008 presidential campaign went down in flames, more or less, but he remains a nationally recognized figure with a respectable support base. So, in light of this speculation,...

The weekend beckons.... CA-Sen: Boxer Maintains Solid Edge, Even in Ras Poll Given that the Rasmussen poll in question had some data that hinted at a GOP skew (the 55% job approval for President Obama, for example), the news on the Senate race has to be considered very good news for Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer. In the new Rasmussen poll, she leads both of her likely Republican challengers (Carly...

While pundits sing the praises of Statists like Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, and the Democrats work to “fundamentally transform” the United States of America … What exactly, has your Congress Critter done for you (individual sovereignty, freedom, and right to the fruits of your labor) lately?

*Lots of interesting stuff out there on Sarah Palin and her book tour. the Daily Beast looks at how Palin's book and tour are a one-woman economic stimulus package .

The carefully GOP manipulated TV coverage of the RNC Wednesday night was an interesting sociological snapshot of the base of supporters physically present. You would have thought that some of the nationally known speakers - Meg Whitman, founder of that small little company E-Bay and Carly Fiorina, former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard were giving a speech to themselves inside a closet when talking
