Um, wait, what? (The Politico) Ken Vogel and I both have sources telling us that calls were made on behalf of a mystery candidate to various early states to determine presidential filing deadlines.

One has to wonder: if Perry is so squishy on an issue that is very important to Conservatives, what else will he be squishy about? (MSNBC) “We have, for decades, had a federal government that has absolutely failed in its constitutional duty to defend our border,†Perry said. “I’m a governor. I don’t have the […]

Unless something big happens, I do believe the GOP will start looking more towards Mitt Romney over Rick Perry, especially when we get things like this Rick Perry went out on a limb Thursday by refusing to back off his support as Texas governor for granting in-state tuition to some of the children of illegal […]

This is why I’ve mostly given up on Sarah Palin as a viable presidential candidate: she refuses to take the plunge: Sarah Palin seemed to give a November deadline for a decision on a 2012 bid. Speaking to Sean Hannity on Fox News Tuesday night, Palin said there is still time but conceded that a […]

Just imagine had it been a Republican who was involved with the Solyndra disaster. The media would be all over it, as well as covering the Congressional inquiries.
