Candidates on the Economy

Friday, March 21st, 2008

CNN has been doing a few special articles this week on America’s #1 Issue: Money.  And of course, with the economy tanking, it is on the forefront of everyone’s mind.  So, I thought that I would head over to their election headquarters and see what they had the candidates down for as far as stimulating [...]

House Republicans Walk Out

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

This is quite interesting.
What I find most interesting about it is that Rep. Boehner initially says that “in other words, we have time on the calendar for political grandstanding” …  But, isn’t a walkout essentially political grandstanding?

Super Tuesday Decides Nothing

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Jered was kind enough to point out that the win was partially due to some supporters of McCain switching sides so that Romney [...]

Thompson Drops Out

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

The race for President is starting to thin out a little bit more.  Fred Thompson’s campaign released a statement earlier today in which they announced the end of Thompson’s campaign for President.  To me, it was inevitable.  He didn’t have the clout that any of the other candidates did.  Romney is quickly emerging as the [...]
