When Sarah Palin Agrees with You….

7 Comments
.... you either kill yourself or shower with steel wool. Sarah Palin, the failed Vice Presidential nominee and half term Governor of Alaska, a woman who currently holds no official or unofficial position within the Republican Party, government, organization or association, is making demands. She wants Mitt's tax returns and proof of a net gain of 100,000 jobs at Bain. So do I.

Will the Teabagger Congress Reauthorize VAWA?

11 Comments
Yesterday, Attorney General Beau Biden, along with all of his counterparts across the country, called on Congress to re-authorize the Violence Against Women Act ("VAWA"). Biden's father, Vice President Joe Biden, drafted and sponsorsed the bill back in 1994, and he frequently points to it as one of his best accomplishments as legislator. Indeed, the National Organization for Women described the bill as "the greatest breakthrough in civil rights for women in nearly two decades." But will VAWA be taken hostage by the radical right, or will they reauthorize it at all?

A new Public Policy Polling survey in South Carolina has Mitt Romney leading, but not as big of a lead as with other recent polls. Romney leads with 30%, followed by Newt Gingrich at 23%, Rick Santorum at 19%, Ron Paul at 9%, Rick Perry at 5%, Jon Huntsman at 4%, and Buddy Roemer at 1%. Now, keep in mind that South Carolina is the LAST chance for any of these horrible alternatives to Romney to pull off a win. If Romney wins South Carolina, the nomination is his.

So Romney is heading for a blow out win in New Hampshire, although one poll show a Huntsman surge. But it is probably an outlier, and even in that poll, Romney still leads with 37. After New Hampshire, Huntsman drops out. The conservative remains divided until South Carolina between Perry, Gingrich, Perry and Santorum. Which is why Romney is leading in South Carolina, aided by a polling boost from a "win" in Iowa. If Romney wins there, it's all over. And conservatives will be left a candidate they absolutely hate.
