Santormentum II: The Lubrication

Filed in National by Delaware Dem on February 7, 2012 • 4 Comments

Are we really going to experience Santormentum II? We have three contests today and Public Policy Polling has polled them all: the Colorado and Minnesota caucuses, and a non-binding Missouri primary in which Newt Gingrich did not make the ballot. That fact has made Santorum the defacto conservative candidate for all right wing radicals, and proves that if one of the two Non-Romneys drop out, the right wing radicals could easily beat Romney.

The SuperPAC War is Joined

Filed in National by Delaware Dem on February 7, 2012 • 11 Comments

President Obama has signaled to “wealthy Democratic donors that he wants them to start contributing to an outside group supporting his re-election, reversing a long-held position as he confronts a deep financial disadvantage on a vital front in the campaign.” That is fine by me. We must do everything and anything legal we can to win this election. Super PACs are legal. We want to make it illegal in the future, but we fight in the present. We fight in reality, not fantasy.

Monday Open Thread [2.6.12]

“The biggest victim of [Friday’s] blowout jobs report — aside from the millions of Americans who still lack jobs, of course — is Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign. Romney has rested his entire case for election on the sluggish economy… [I]t’s all Romney has. Obama remains personally well-liked. Romney is personally unpopular. The Republican Party is extremely unpopular. Obama has had no major scandals, and his foreign policy has been highly successful to date… He simply has to keep plugging away at his theme, because his only real winning scenario involves winning on the back of a bad economy.”

Christine Might Have to Get a Job

Christine O’Donnell’s political action committee, ChristinePAC and her Senate campaign have a combined $35,100 at the end of 2011. With such a paltry sum in an election year, I think it is safe to assume that Christine will not be a losing candidate again in 2012. With the poor reception her book received, and how hilariously her endorsement of Mitt Romney played out, Christine O’Donnell may also be finished as a national talking head. I mean, aside from losing statewide campaigns in spectactular fashion, being a guest on Fox News is the only thing she is really qualified to do. If Wingnut Welfare cuts her off, what is she to do?

Obama is pulling away from Romney

Filed in National by Delaware Dem on February 6, 2012 • 3 Comments

I have long said this election will not be close, that it will be a 1996 style reelection for Obama at best, or a 2004 style reelection at worst. A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that while Mitt Romney has solidified his position for the Republican nomination and now leads Newt Gingrich by a substantial margin, 39% to 23%, President Obama has also soldified his position for reelection against Mitt Romney. Obama now leads Romney 51% to 45%.

Halftime in America

That Clint Eastwood Chrysler ad last night not only won the best commercial award (at least in my book, but it is receiving glowing accolades on Twitter and the Internets last night), but it was also a two minute Re-elect President Obama advertisement.
