**Written by Doug Powers Any Republican candidate serious about trying to get the US out of a mess that’s been many years in the making and only getting worse is first and foremost going to have to stop doing the equivalent of standing in front of the ballpark yelling “a vote for me is a [...]

“Give him enough rope…”

“Thanks, Mitt!”

Building a bridge to one America and winning the future of change we can believe in

**Written by Doug Powers What are the odds that this will be mentioned at some point in an ad from one of Mitt Romney’s opponents during Republican primary season? Romney “did some interesting things there on health care, you know,” Axelrod said. “We got some good ideas from him.” Message from Axelrod to Romney’s primary [...]

Early front-runner?

I’ve already made clear: John McCain is the problem with the GOP. And he’s trying to install his mini-mes as congressional candidates across the country. Yesterday, Mitt Romney lined up with He That Ails the GOP: Romney, the former Governor of Massachusetts released a statement today, saying it would be “hard to imagine the United [...]

Canada’s Globe and Mail reports that Mitt Romney was the target of an unhinged air rager on a flight out of Vancouver tonight. The good news: He kept his cool and is doing fine. The plane turned around and rid itself of the unruly passenger. No such thing as friendly skies anymore. Geez: Republican politician [...]

Comedy Central.

Emulsion.

Falling in line. Nose plugs, Mitt?

“Bad judgment.”

Suspension and belief.

Bryan Preston and I arrived at CPAC at 5:30am this morning–yes, bad time to give up caffeine for Lent–to set up the Hot Air camera and get through security. There’s a shortage of metal detectors and an abundance of attendees. We’re already parked in the main ballroom at the Omni Shoreham. A lot of people [...]

The way forward.

Here we go.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned in this presidential season so far, it’s that nothing is a sure thing. John McCain says he “assumes” he’ll get the nomination and that he’ll have it wrapped up by Super Tuesday. I wondered over the weekend whether the Rasmussen poll showing McCain and Mitt Romney in a dead [...]

The Shamnesty GOP…and the Forked Tongue Express.

The company they keep.

Wanted: Red meat.

“…clearly Fred Thompson is not going to be the nominee.”

I switched to MSNBC when Fox cut away from Fred’s pep talk in Columbia, SC. They all cackled after Thompson finished speaking. I should have switched it off right there, but I decided to stay with the left-wing channel for Mitt Romney’s appearance. The dorks at MSNBC grilled him over his hair, his unbuttoned collar, [...]

No-no.

An inside view.

Nutroots election prank.

No more tears.

Update: Ugh! More: Debbie Schlussel, based in Michigan, gives her analysis and predictions for the Michigan primary. And in the interest of fair and balanced coverage, here’s video of Romney from 1994 on abortion, gays in the Boy Scouts, gun control, and other issues (and yes, I know, whoever posted it at YouTube is a [...]

Following up on previous posts about ex-con killer Daniel Tavares (see here and here), who was released by a Mitt Romney-appointed judge, here’s the Boston Herald’s latest story on the case: Former Gov. Mitt Romney’s administration failed to act on disciplinary recommendations that would have kept ex-con killer Daniel Tavares locked up another year – [...]
