Republican Primaries 21% Problem
According to FairVote.org 25 states hold closed Republican Primaries. That’s 25 states where the GOP 21%ers can rule the day by choosing the candidate. Moderate Republicans should be concerned because these numbers give candidates like Sarah Palin the edge. Actually, all of us should be concerned. Food for thought.
Who Leads Republicans? Apparently They Don’t Know Either
USAToday covers a Gallup poll in which Americans were asked who speaks for the GOP. A majority of Americans couldn’t name anyone.

Tone Deaf or Payoff?
There are rumors swirling around the Delaware Republican Party that they have a new communication team. This is the team that will be tasked with redefining the tarnished brand that is “Republican” and to reframe the debate into something that will resonate with Delaware voters. Quite a task. Who is up for a job like […]
Gallup: Republicans Are Tanking
There are new poll results out from Gallup about partisan identification, and it’s not good news for Republicans.

Obviously Words Matter
There’s been a lot of talk over taking people at their word, and when it comes to words no one is better at hijacking them then Conservatives. Patriot springs to mind, as does family values, life, Judeo-Christian laws, regiment, battle, defense of marriage, and take back America. Let’s just say when I stumble on a […]
The Incredible Shrinking Republican Woman
Seems like a no-brainer to me, especially given what you see on display at nearly every Republican event/press conference/news show. Lot’s of old white guys. Where are the Republican women? Of course, there are fewer Republicans than Democrats of either gender in the two houses. But even on a percentage basis, Republicans suffer a gender […]
Fatal Attraction – Republican Style
Rule #1 when having an affair is to never let the wife find out about the mistress. Silly, because it rarely works out that way – especially if your mistress is a crazy person intent on destroying your marriage. That said, shame on you for juggling love interests, and shame on you for whispering sweet, […]

Jon Huntsman Jr.’s appearance at a Michigan county Republican Party event was scrapped this week after the county chairwoman said that hosting the moderate Utah governor would mean abandoning the party’s conservative principles.

I’ve said It Before… Let Them Filibuster
Via Think Progress: A reliable Justice Department source advises me that Senate Republicans are planning to “go nuclear” over the nominations of Dawn Johnsen as chief of the Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice and Yale Law School Dean Harold Koh as State Department legal counsel if the torture documents are made […]
Will Republican Leaders Listen To Republicans
Greg Sargent points out the trend. Republicans aren’t happy with their Republican leaders. The approval rating of GOP leaders among Republicans has plummeted 12 points in a month, down from 55% in February to a minority of 43% now. That’s striking. Not only that, but approval of GOP leaders overall has dropped to 28% overall […]
