We finally have an Obama conspiracy theory that makes sense.

Question

Can Santorum be the Not-Romney candidate? Can he seriously become viable? I honestly don’t know. Here’s what I do know. The GOP base is desperate for anyone but Romney – and I’m beginning to feel they’d rather say President Obama than President Romney. But can Santorum be turned into a viable candidate?

Confession: In the back of my mind, I keep thinking that the Conservative money men are searching for a way to get Perry into the race again. Not sure if that’s even possible, but he’s always been their guy. Sorry, just can’t shake this feeling.

Wow.

The U.S. economy added 200,000 jobs in December, beating expectations. The unemployment rate fell to 8.5%. If the economy really starts roaring back to life in the first half of 2012, the election will be pretty much over. Just like in 1996.

Delaware 2012 Political Weekly: January 1 to January 6, 2012

Just in time for the 2012 Delaware election season, I’m starting a brand new weekly feature for all you political junkies out there. Each Friday, I will review the political events of the past week. Events will include, but not be limited to, announcements, filings, retirements, intrigue, financial reports, debates, etc. I aim to be comprehensive and, of course, entertaining. Accordingly, I will often evaluate/predict how meaningful (or not meaningful) each development might be. I’m also pretty certain that this format will change as I get more accustomed to writing the weekly pieces.
