Thank you to everyone that came out to our Super Tuesday party last night, and a special thanks to those who agreed to do media interviews. As a McCain supporter, I’m very pleased with the results. McCain performed quite strongly and has further defined himself as the clear frontrunner. Romney was on the cable news shows this morning still vowing to fight on though. Watching the morning news shows, I’m finding myself more and more disgusted with Huckabee. He was asked on Fox News about... Read More→

The Economist recently had a great article which examines... Read More→

A WSJ/NBC poll shows that 50% of voters would prefer a Democrat as our next president, compared to 35% that would prefer a Republican. However, Hillary is polling poorly on “honesty, likeability and sharing their positions on the issues,” which leaves even many Democrats hesitant to vote for her. This is evident in a head-to-head match-up with Rudy, which currently has them in a dead heat – Hillary 46%, Rudy 45%. Rudy’s momentum continues – he still leads the Republican field with 33%,... Read More→
